Hey, how much is that setup and install costing. I'm in the St. Pete area and don't know anyone around to install these things.

Kit and install is at $6800, not bad considering i'm getting my oil changed for free and my pullies installed for free and a free diablo sport tuner.

I went tol Hellion's web site and they said that the system was $4995. I was under the impression that the 'Stang folks liked the superchargers because they were less expensive. But this turbo system is less than any of the superchargers that I have priced. So... why do people prefer a supercharger to a turbocharger or vice versa?

Well, I guess it's all about preference and where you want your power to come on at. At least with the turbo you don't have to worry about popping a belt. I had originally wanted to go with a procharger which I could have gotten a killer deal on until I saw this turbo kit in person and the owner of modular madness (Don) who is a very noligable person told me I should be around the 480 rwhp mark on a very safe tune @ 10 psi. While I was at his shop he had a customer stop by with his ford lightning running a kb supercharger, so they put it on the dynojet (this thing is nasty) and he is putting out around 720 hp. Dons car should be on the cover of 5.0 mustang next month, he has an 05 or 06 gt running the procharger f1 or f1r unit not sure but his car is f***ing nice.

Well, my install got pushed back to the 18th because of the pri convention in orlando. Man I can't wait to have this turbo installed.
