My first Mustang, a 2003 GT aka Vixen, was being prepped to receive a Kenne Bell. I tried being smart, built the motor, the rear end, etc., so that when it came time to get the supercharger I could do with it as I pleased. However the dream was cut short when I was T-boned and the car was totaled (RIP Vixen...). Then I bought a Mazda 6 (WHY!?) to drive while I was in school so I could save money and buy a house (#adulting). However once I did that, it was time to hop back on the pony!

After 2 revisions using data logs from street pulls, I was given the green light and we strapped the car down on the dyno to see the numbers.

With a 4th gear pull the car made <strong>585rwhp & 473ft/lbs tq</strong>., <em>a 167rwhp & 119ft/lb gain</em> over the previous setup.

[ATTACH=full]694973[/ATTACH] Over the next few days, the car was remotely tuned by [COLOR="#ff0066"][B]Lund Racing[/B][/COLOR]. Sometimes I hear customers get dismayed about the remote tuning process but with the guys from Lund it really is a painless procedure, especially with the nGauge. After 2 revisions using data logs from street pulls, I was given the green light and we strapped the car down on the dyno to see the numbers. The weather wasn't super conducive to boost efficiency, with IATs from 133-145, but again it's Florida so it's just something I'll have to deal with. The car screamed through the [B]MBRP[/B] longtubes & [COLOR="#ff0066"][B]Corsa[/B][/COLOR] Xtreme axleback while on the rollers. With a 4th gear pull the car made [B]585rwhp & 473ft/lbs tq[/B]., [I]a 167rwhp & 119ft/lb gain[/I] over the previous setup. Boost peaked around 9.5psi and A/F was spot on. [ATTACH=full]694974[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]694975[/ATTACH] Overall, the install was straightforward & streamlined. The blower was installed & the car started up in just 1 day (a long day but just 1 day). The setup looks super clean, performs great & feels awesome in my butt dyno (and on the regular dyno too, obviously). I'd recommend the [COLOR="#ff0066"][B]Roush Performance[/B][/COLOR] TVS kit to anyone looking for a blower setup on their car. These kits are available for all 2011+ Mustangs, including the S550s.

Track times, fun runs, Moroso coolant tanks, 80mm pulley, E85 & hopefully cooler weather...and some more cosmetic mods, too... What's your ideas? [ATTACH=full]694978[/ATTACH] Stay tuned! [/QUOTE]
