RE: Vortech Pics...Finally
+100 on having already spent all my money lol. powerpipe and 90mm MAF are next on the list performance wise (after 18" Saleen rims with BFG D/Rs in the back)
i am located in gainesville, i go to UF. i live in sarasota tho but am rarely home. was in orlando for a Mustang meet a lil while ago tho. just ask calvin lol.
and yes i definitely got it dynoed. how else would i come up with the random rw hp/tq numbers? lol. i love performance in a car...but i always research everything i do and im not dumb enough to drive a supercharged car without a tune.

Totally awesome man bet its ton's of fun
That install looks like cake compared to the Procharger.
Basic Procharger install Breakdown:
Take off bumper cover, radiator hose, coolant tank.
Route 5 miles of tubing places it doesn't want to go
Put in an intercooler that barely fits at all.
But that's alright I did 90% and somebody else is doing the final 10% for me. Plus I got a badass blower and intercooler for cheap. Now I just wanna drive it.

RE: Vortech Pics...Finally
Everytime I see our engine bay (99-04 especially) I wanna puke. Why did ford do such a nice job with the cobra and mach and yet ours looks like it was thrown together in 5 minutes. Wires and cables routed however the hell they wanted and to top it off that ugly fking alternator all oxidized and crap just staring you right in the face the moment you open your hood. Everytime I see a cobra engine bay I'm soo jealous, not because of the blower but because of how neat and organized it is. F you ford.
Sorry I just HATE our engine bay...this summer I NEED to figure out how to make it less of an eyesore. Nice blower by the way. Congrats.

RE: Vortech Pics...Finally
nope stock rear gears. and theyre gonna stay that way for a while. wont change em til i build up my rear end. itll take a while to save for...but itll be frpp 3.73s, eaton posi differential, moser 31 spline axles, and saleen rear end girdle all done at the same time...and i think thats all i need for it (outside of girdle bolts and bearing kit for gears). it wont be for a while though.
o...a nice start on a good looking engine bay IMO is the stainless steel radiator cover...i love how that thing looks.
