I read in a mag that a super charged 05 GT with 410hp/417tq ran 13.0....100+ gain and only 0.5 secs faster?

RE: 1/4 mile times
I ran this race about earlier today at Lebanon Valley Speedway, Upstate NY near Albany.
Stock mustang, no mods. Best run first weekend was 13.92 with a 1.93 60' No engine mods at all yet. Stock tires. First time racing in 20 years.
Here's a video of the run. Sorry for quality... I'll have better videos later in the season.

By the way Don W ... You may be waiting a while for that Vortech. They're not shipping the standard kits yet. I changed my mind and ordered a Procharger after doing a lot of research. Should be here soon... Most people at the track were running Prochargers and swear by them.
And... the vortech standard kit is rated at the flywheel... not RWHP. A lot of the HP gained by the vortech is from the more aggressive tune... not boost efficiency.

Thanks for info on the SC, 05_Bullit. Do you know if the ProCharger is legal in California? I have been consulting with JBA Racing here in San Diego, and they recommend the Vortech for several reasons, including that it is legal in CA. For me, that is a major consideration. Here is an excerpt of an e-mail I got from them:
They [Vortech] have good performance, good fitment, and being located in California they always make a point to obtain an executive order number from the California Air Resources Board which means their kits are smog-legal. Although the various supercharger manufacturers have been displaying systems for the 05 Mustang since the SEMA show in Vegas last November, the actual kits are just now hitting the streets. In conjunction with Hot Rod magazine and Superchips Custom Tuning, we recently did the first dyno tuning of an 05 Mustang GT with an automatic transmission and a Vortech supercharger. It made over 400 rear wheel hp and that's without an aftercooler. For maximum hp in a daily driver, we would recommend the Vortech 2005 Mustang GT High Output System. This system includes an aftercooler. Cooling the intake charge allows you to run more timing and make more power without detonation. The Vortech kit that we installed for Hot Rod magazine was not a high output system and did not include the aftercooler.
I probably won't be ready to install the SC until the end of June anyway, so I'll keep reading/researching until then.

RE: 1/4 mile times
Don,
I suggest you do a lot of research before paying the money. Take time to go to a local race track and ask people how they like their superchargers.
There are reviews of most products available online. I found some on both superchargers at www.carreviews.com
Good luck!
