What kind of time could I expect on the 1/4 with 8PSI and lets say the 415 - 430 RWHP(is that reasonable?)range?
and what the heck does "mlkzoodomsl" stand for?

My guesstimation would be mid 12s

RE: Roush SC instead of Whipple???
Yeah I know that 5 PSI won't beat the Z06. But I can build up to that!! Ha ha.
I have not been officially to the track. But have run it a few times on a track (Blue Oval's test track) and with some test equipment to measure my 1/4 mile times. They ran my car 6 times but the test equipment failed to give numbers for 1 run.
My Steeda ran:
1st Run = 13.2
2nd Run = 13.0
3rdRun = No Numbers
4th Run = 12.8
5th run = 12.9
6th Run = 12.8
My average MPH was 107. With an average trap(?) speed 0 - 60 MPHof 4.3 - 4.5. Is that good? Keep in mind Ihave an automatic tranny!
I WAS NOT DRIVING! It was a Ford Test Track Driver. They also put stickier tires on for this (NOT DR's) but something better than my my Nitto triple Nickles.
I will be going to a track in August to get some time slips. Plus I will not be making a habit out of the track. I just want some real numbers to rely upon. The Ford Test Track guys said my car had really good/fast trap speed. I think it is the 0 - 60 time but not positive. Not sure what that means yet. I still have a lot to learn.
These guys wanted to try it on their road-course but we ran out of time. With my mod's it is setup for road courses more than a drag car anyhow.
I still have yet to do a dyno to get official numbers yet (RWHP and RWTQ). But will soon at Alternative Auto.
This was all on the sly with a buddy who works at Ford in the Test division and has access to the Ford Proving Grounds - Test Track. I will have the detailed charts and graphs soon from this. It was something I did a week ago.
I love my Steeda!

At 8psi with your setup mid 12s maybe if the weather was perfect and great track prep a low 12. Throw some sticky tires(there is no such thing as a sticky street tire) high 11s. J and Martin check your pm's.

RE: Roush SC instead of Whipple???
O8Steeda I will see if I can make it! (in the AM). I also know what you mean about the miles on the car and seeing very few a year at that...I have 3800 miles and the car has been in my possession for 3 summers
(since june of 06). This year with the crap weather on the weekends (near my home) I hardly get to drive the thing or go to car shows[&o]. I am slowly modding and detailing so many other cars that it cuts into my fun time and cruising in the stang. J

My buddy would arrange the install. I do not yet have the details about the Ford Factory Warranty until tomorrow. He said something about it being a 5 PSI pulley to get the Warranty covered. Still getting details.
MyGT500 - thanks for the offer. I might take you up on it? You going to the Telegraph Cruise Saturday? I am for the morning only!
FYI - Everyone else. This is a garage queen and will get very few miles a year. This is a collector car for me. Since October I have only put 1500 total miles on her. I also do not think I would ever go beyond like 10 PSI. This is all about having something very cool and not necessarily about hitting the track. Although I would like to be able to beat a Z06 (friends) in the 1/4.
I have all the mod's available for suspension and traction already done with Steeda gear. G-Trac, Springs, Shocks/Struts, LCA's, Sway Bar (Front and Back), Wheel Hop Kit, etc, etc. The only thing missing in that area is aftermarket breaks and they are coming this winter.

I contacted Roush today and I am not sure of the 3/36,000mi warranty. See their response below.
In the near future we will have a fully assembled short block available with the TVS2300 supercharger. This kit will keep your 3 year 36k warranty. We have the TVS kit available now without the short block, however this will only come with a 1 year 12k warranty on Roush components only. We are not able to do customer builds here, but any certified mechanic can perform the install.
