Hypothetical question
If you had your present Mustang for about 3 years and somehow managed to pay it off, would you trade it on a new vehicle with around 350-400HP, or supercharge the one you have?

You get bored too easily... would you invest in the blower and then be able to keep it for 2-3 more years?

I have some good sources at work now. I'll contact our procurement company and have them contact Intertape Polymer Group for me. I'll give them the bar code number and they should be able to track it down easily with that.

Then again, I'm dying to see what the 2010 Mustang will look like.

Thanks. Good news though I got in contact with the guy on Mod Fords and he's sending me the 6FT he had left from his install. He's sending it priority mail. He only charged me $10 total. Not bad when he said it cost him $30 at the local Pep Boys.
I'd keep it and Supercharge it.

Cool. I'd say score some just in case the rest of the Shaker club decides to go this route after seeing how mine turns out.

I ABSOLUTELY wouldn't supercharge it. That's $4-5K thrown into a car that is going to promote wear and tear (which = more $ in repairs) and bring very little back in investment.

I wonder how the shaker shroud would look/fit on a non-shaker system???

Here's a close-up of the ball (thanks Tom).
It looks like we'll have to come up with some sort of spacer between the bottom of the scoop/shroud and the ball... may 2-3".

Looking at my reference pics, I think relocating the rear ball just might work. There's another flat mounting section forward of that hose that runs across the top of the intake.

HUH??? Elaborate please.
Could the shroud be used by itself to cover the ugly valve covers (for example: on my car)
Obviously, some trimming may be necessary

If you really want to cover up the fuel rails why not get something like this. Ouch! I never knew how expensive these things were.
