Don't think that having a blower is like a stock eaton, don't rule out a blower till you drive a gt500 with a kenne bell or whipple.

Mine dynoed Over 600ft/lb @2500

how much boost?

I'll have to look at some dyno plots for the blown 4.6's maybe with their little higher compression and a KB, maybe it could do 450@2000 huh? A guy at church has a 05 gt auto with a KB, I know its pretty quick(12.3 with traction issues) but never drove it(or even rode in it...yet)
