short answer: yes

However, it would cost more money doing all the custom fabrication and setup than his car is worth... you can buy one used cheap.. and then pay double what you would have for a prefabbed kit for his car just getting it to work right.

Your gonna get the same blah blah blah I got. You need a lower intake to fit the 2V heads and the bottom end isnt built for that big of a charger blah blah. But wait till I get me a newer Mustang, I WILL be puttin that heafer on there.

First, the charger is weak, and it would not be to much for your internals.. there is a reason people port them and swap them out on the 03/04's..

Second, you really will spend more getting the custom fabricated pieces for the and manifold not to mention the relocation of different accessories to try to make it work... You could slap a vortech on with a 10lb pulley for 4k... or you could do that with a 6lb pulley for much much more.

It has nothing to do with the blower being to big, quite the latter.

The blower simply sucks. Even if you manage to make a custom lower ($$$ or mad skills) you will get ****TY results. Your talking about 320 or 330 WHP if THAT on a otherwise stock car.

Why would you go thru all of this hassle and expense when you can get a centri for around 4000 bucks with EVERY thing you can possibly believe? Or even a twin screw kit for 5000-5500.

Its a great idea tell you do the math. Then, all you have is a ****ty running setup with a very expensive custom lower intake and a blower that heats the hell out of your incoming air.

does anyone know if u can put a saleen series 4 blower on a lightning supercharger intake
everyone knows that the series 4 is a very good blower and is greatly limited by its lower intake manifold, and the lightnig manifold has much shorter and beter designed runners so do u think that this would work

Its not rocket science to make a lower intake just time, plasma cutter, welder and some material. How do you know it will run like shXX. The objective is to create more power correct? Ok maybe people want to be different, so you would think I was crazy by puttuing a Eaton M-62 on a Non turbo Eclipse right. People do what they have the money for If it came down to it i might go centri if I had the money, but I can buy the small parts to piece my car together from everywhere, you cant just do that with centri. Noy arguing just make my small point.
