lol, very well said. I finally just decided I might as well get it sooner than later so I have longer to enjoy it. I went with the Brenspeed non-HO Vortech kit as I wanted a centrifugal. I'll add the aftercooler later perhaps, depending on how it feels and what the dyno sheets look like. It'll be about 5 grand total out the door, so that was about all I could justify for now (and probably every dime of my tax return, lol). Not including the $600 worth of gauges/pods I've already bought.

So how many PD blowers does that make for the 05-up mustangs? I count 6, but i'm probably missing 1.

Are you going to use their tune? I wonder who is making the tune.

"466 horsepower and 439 ft./lbs. of torque on only five (5) pounds of boost; this is more power per psi than any Mustang supercharger system on the market today"

I think their statement above is purely marketing, but it will be interesting to see what people make on the dyno. Doesn't saleen claim to make more power with 5 lbs of boost than anyone else?

i believe i read on another forum, that those
numbers have turned out to be BHP.

that puts it more in line with the whipple
non-ic @ 6psi

either way it will probably do very nicely

no... was promised with a high level of certainty that it would be here before Christmas. Did they indicate a price and or a place to buy them?? I was told they will be limiting who can sell them as only "qualified" retailers are supposed to be included.

I have a message into my vendor (Tillman Speed) right now to get an update.
