Got Blown Sunday!
And my wife said it is the only time she can be happy about that statement with her not with me!
Sold all my nitrous gear and:
Installed an Xcharger supercharger today on my 2006 Pony Convertible. Glad I had a lot of help from one of my friends who is working on a movie here in Michigan. He has the prototype Xcharger #001 out in LA and knew all the wiring changes that we had to do.
Does this thing ever pull hard. Lots of torque low in the RPM's, very quick. Can't wait to get to the track and test it out.
Got home too late to get some pictures so will post up later this evening. Now need to get ahold of Lidio and get some dyno pulls for a baseline.

Haven't been to the dyno yet to get some baseline numbers. But the car pulls hard down low, and the Xcharger has a nice scream to it under boost
Got some pictures uploaded today:
Tear down went fairly quick:
Parts bench collecting some parts coming off the car
The supercharged parts table

And the finished product:
We had a web cam set up so the guys over at http://www.mustangcollective.com could watch the install progress. At the end of the day it fired right up on the first try. We then grabbed the laptop and camera (because the wireless network would follow us outside) and did a test drive while broadcasting. So those watching the installation got to go on the first ride as well.

I said that to my wife on Saturday night and she just laughed and said this is the only time she will say "no problem" to that comment!
