Can get a Tubular replacement piece for 100$ that keeps the structural integrity of the car and allows for more room for the intercooler (plus you don't have the absorber blocking airflow)... At the end of the day though, do what you like and what you feel makes your car look best. I am just not the biggest fan of having the intercooler hanging down below the bumper.... Perhaps an 03-04 cobra bumper?

yeah I actually do plan on a 03/04 cobra bumper eventually (for more of a "open area" for air flow) + a chin spoiler so that you don't see it "as much" I think then it will be fine. Im just workin with what I got right now lol

Harris Racing is the first shop I ever let touch my stang. They took great care of me, including buying me lunch while at the shop and the owner personally driving me home when my car was there. I Support Good Businesses

Haha, I HOPE those stickers are good for ~400 rwhp

Your setup will be good for 450RWHP+ fully tuned with forged internals easy. I'm not real familiar, are those blower cams?

nope, not blower cams. We will see how they do. With this blower, I would have no problems reaching 500+ rwhp (of course with a built motor, upgraded fuel system (bigger then 42lb injectors, and prob dual pumps), Blow through system, new bypass, read end, transmission, blah, blah, haha)

Pretty much the same setup as me with the exception of being a T-Trim.... I was hitting 100% duty cycle at like 5200RPMS and was having to push it beyond that to stay below 12.0... my A/F was like 11.4 all the way to 5300 then it slowly leaned out to 11.8 by 5800. BAP its now 11.4 all the way to 5500 and then 11.3 from 5600-6300... You might have to cut your runs short because of a lack of fuel.
