thats funny but you still didnt tell us about your car.
I already said I got an 05 GT that I am putting a procharger with an air to air intercooler.

i really dont like nascar i think its pretty gay a bunch of ugly cars driving in circles. I think the last gen roush cars looked better. you could put a kenne bell on 2v gt and put out the same rwhp as a roush at around 13 psi. Your obviously not going for power. i dont believe u will get this car for a secong and if you do insurance will kill you. if you do you probably will die or crash. maybe both. You wont be real cool when u wreck ur car. Roush chargers arent incredible the car is not incredible. Sure its cool. But not awesome. For half the money you could by a car with real lines instead of a retro looking car, mod the hell out of it, have pride in it, and be real bad ***. IMO if you really had the car on the way you wouldnt be arguing with us about getting it because you would already have it. Roush=bodykit+****charger+emblem that doesnt equal 50k+ to me buthey do what u want its your money but you could have a lot cooler car if u put some work into it
yea maybe if you read through all the post but you never know; i guess i have to put up pictures when i get it [:-]
I can take some pictures of my neighbors Carrerra Gt and tell you all is mine but most of you wont believe me. And if you did put 35k down payment that says alot about your financial intelect. You are loosing 2.8k in interests if you had it invested for say in UBS @ 8% interest and just get a new car loan from penfed.org at 5%. that is making ur money produce. YOu did say roush was gonna be the next shelby and that their car were gonna jump in value. I repeat again, NASCAR has nothing to do with PRODUCTION CARS. I do not know how to tell it to you in any other way. If you want to see what a aftermarket producer can do like shelby did back in the days. Go and win Lemans with the production car.

Hello androdz,
What's the cost on the ProCharger? I've heard great things about the ProCharger ever since they stopped putting in belts and changed over to gears. I have an '05 GT and I'm considering something in the next few years(yes, I'm keeping my mileage down).
ps I have a great connect on getting 20"(and 18s as well) American Racing Shelby Razor wheels- like the ones to the right
on this website on the blue '05 on the popups-$179.00 for 20X9's, $166.00 for 18X9s through a friend who's a distributor for A R. Yes all legit and guaranteed. I just bought a set of 20"s for $744.00 delivered. Take it easy

The procharger with injectors, fuel pump and everything except the intercooler costed me 3.3k on ebay. I bought everything seperately because you cant get so much better components doing the kit yourself. The intercooler I had it custom made for 650 with the exact measurements of my front bumper. The piping so far is costing me 200$ and It is not done, might finish at around 100$ extra. SO give/take 4.1kish. Not to mention so far I have spent 28k for the gt premium with all options. 4.1k for the supercharger, 700 for complete borla exhaust with xpipes, 400 for jba headers, 350 for the sct tuner. 800 for complete suspension package and 100 for lower control arms. So I am right now at 34kish. Still under the 55k for a roush and will smoke any roush it encounters since my supercharger is much more efficient and is capable of much more boost. Maybe I will get the block completely done and still have 20k saved lol.

I'm with you brotha, I'd rather do it myself and save, save, save! Yeah, I'm hooked on E-Bay myself, have you heard anything on those springs that are listed on E-Bay for '05 Mustangs for "Buy Now Price" of $99.00? That's more than half of Eibachs(more like a 1/3). Definitely, a smoking fast S197 for under 35K! You can also sneak up on those unsuspecting 'boutique' Mustangs and embarrass them as they drive to the credit union/bank. Good luck!

Go buy your Roush and add a 100 shot. I'll let Darwin take care of the rest.

a roush with a 100 shot will never catch up to a gt500 with a pulley change, not to mention, the gt500 will keep the hp for all the passes, as the pressure goes down on the bottle you get less and less hp, not to mention if the bottle is cold that is another hassle. Oh did I almost forget it will only last for like 6 passes or so??.
