Im aware of s/c prices and they make good power - but the turbo is just a better setup performance wise.. if neons can do it - why cant we?!?!?!

I agree that turbos are better, if I had the $7k+ to twin turbo my stang I would have. But I dont.

yea twins are hott - but from my research a properly sized single is just as good - and half as likely to fail - for some reason I hear all of these horror stories about the complexity of timing and tuning twin systems... and the guys im dealing with are not even close to 7k for just parts

also a centri is a turbo... just powered by a pulley, and as long as the intake temps are kept in check I dont see why there should be a problem, turbos are by far more tried and true then s/c's... but I am no expert, hence my post

Kbs are the next best thing - but pricey

We're as STS dealer as well. On a stock motor, most people don't like to exceed 6 lbs for reliability but that doesn't mean people follow that advice! To control detonation, we suggest you use alcohol or water injection. That will let you run a few more lbs of boost and not have to worry as much about detonation. It also cools the intake charge

The idea behind the remote mount it to make installation easier and to keep the engine heat down in the engine bay. Excessive heat can damage components and shorten their life.

we all know you need dual superchargers to spool your 4 turbos better. also if you have 3 turbonators right after your intake its good for another 24psi.

i have dyno sheets to prove this
