Nice! I really dig 'em!

Where did you get them? Are they difficult to install?

im picking up/ordering (if they dont have what i want) my mustang tomorrow after school and i'm most likely going to end up adding some kind of power adder down the road, but i dont really need 300 at the wheels, i'm more concerned about having a good amount of power and still be pretty damn reliable. So i guess my question is, have you had any knocking, or any reasons to believe you are going to have engine problems later on? And do you guys think not having the intercooler will be a problem? Sorry if im asking alot of questions, but this will be my only daily driver and i need to have it be reliable.



p.s. talkin about x-charger. and if there is really a safest power adder please tell me.

I can answer most of you questions

The short answer to not having an intercooler on the X-Charger wouldn't matter b/c its a roots style blower that runs cooler at 6-7psi and creates less friction or heat(I pay attention in Physics class lol). The temp of the air is cool enough to not hurt the engine, and the X-Charger has less of a parasitic drag on your engine than centrifugal s/c's. Its also safer for your engine b/c the amount of air that it crams into the engine is considerably less than other s/c's. The X-Charger will be the best power adder for reliablitiy on a DD as long as you keep the 3.00" pulley on it that it comes w/. I believe that the highest Doug got the 3" pulley to go was 7psi.

Anybody want to add anything that i forgot or got wrong?
