Yea i think im going to go with the kenne bell. It just seems that they know what they are doing and most of all they cater mostly to mustangs. And by the way i have buddies with a 300C vortech kit and a stock 05 Gto that i badly want to destroy.

^ thats a dumb argument. Just because hellion smokes crack and rapes people doesn't mean the pony down sucks. Ive seen quite a few cars with it, but never inspected a system. All I can say is that its not that complicated anyway and both companies use cheaper than they should turbos in the base kit. The fact is that you can get a better kit made from a local turbo guru (or at least equal quality piping and a better turbo) for less or equal money.

Lol when did i ever say the pony down sucks? im going on based compared to other kits pricing and i took one look at that price and one thing crossed my mind was CHEAP. yes i will be honest i never heard of or seen these kits on the mustangs. all i hear about are the hellions.but i do agree on all FI pricing. 5k is alot of money for 100hp give or take.

That's why I did it on the cheap and got used parts. It's more of a gamble, but if it pays off you end up saving a lot of money. And worse case scenario the head unit needs to be rebuild and I end up spend the same as a new unit. Which makes it a wash with a chance to have spent less.

vortech/paxton> KB> procharger. I swear almost every freakin procharged 2v (with stock motor mostly) puts down sorry *** numbers and ive seen bad 1/4 times. They're all intercooled too, so i dont know what it is. Not ******* ATI, its just that for some damn reason vortechs do better on 2v's. my NON-i/c vortech put out 387 on a hot *** day and pulled full bolt on ls1's. now with JUST an ebay fmic and 3.33'' it peaked at 440 rwhp (graphs for proof) and kills full bolt on and cammed ls1's. (Sorry for using the ls1 as a comparison so much, its just that they're a good example of consistant power levels)
