I'm conservative at 13* right now after datalogging. Pat from Delta Force Tuning is helping me with my tuning and he told me my timing is a little low but said not to go above 16*. That seems to be the right number for non-intercooled 10 psi I guess.

I agree, a vortech is a good all around blower that is affordable. Its also very easy to find one.
BTW avexhype, I still don't understand how you are putting down that much power. Compared to me, you pretty much picked up 56 rwhp from tb/plenum because other than that we have the same mods....I know dynos are different but it just doesn't seem to add up lol.

OP: what are your power goals? It is best to have an idea on where you want to be as far as power so you can buy the blower that best suites your needs.
Remember, anything over 450RWHP/TQ = BOOM eventually...
If you plan to go higher than this i suggest you get to work on a built motor first...
Deconfire: Did you sell the mustang?(Edit: Nevermind, just read your thread..Congrats) I also agree with the KB 2.8L.. That thing is a fn beast.... I cant wait to install mine
supposedly makes 640rwhp/tq at 17 PSI!

does it matter which blower if ur car is an auto? i read that a centri doesnt see boost until like 3-4000rpm, but with my auto i dont get that high usually lol. im guessing i could change the shift points to not shift until redline, but just driving normally i wouldnt see any boost correct? so would that mean the kenne bell is the way to go for an automatic?

Yes, i would adjust the shift points.(not to redline though)
They say KB for a auto b/c of the instant boost. this way you should be able to retain the stock shift points. Not quite sure what you shift point are, but i do know that with a KB you can be at full boost at 2700 rpms.
Keep in mine that unless you are mashing the gas, you will not be in boost regardless of the s/c brand/type.
so you can be driving at 3000 rpms and not be in boost with a auto until you stomp the go fast pedal....
