Leo just informed me that it may the following weekend, 16/17. I may have to go to a b-day party that Saturday, but I'm sure it won't be too late.
Leo: +2, glad the dent removal and payment went well.

I think the 16/17th. If I order the DS and Loop tomorrow I think they and the UCA/Relos will get here before the LCAs... (7 days extra because of the customer color and 3 day shipping.) I should get them around the 11th/12th. Hopefully the rest will come in that week. If it looks like the 16/17th is a no-go because of parts or people, Bill mainly, then I can push it to the next weekend no problem

Ok, supercharger dream lives! Spoke with another Ford dealer other then the one in my local town. And I know the service manager there from many many years ago. Friend of the family long time ago.
Anyways, I asked what would my new found joy(supercharger) void on my extended warranty. He said "nothing". As long as its installed properly and its working fine I wont void a thing. Hes like "we install our own brand here(whipple) and install other brands and we work with the people. We put them on our new cars from factory and dealer installed." So my 70k warranty would still be intact cause I also asked about if things were to break such as my AC a year from now. Hes like "then in a year you come see me/or the dealer and we'll fix it. Your supercharger isn't what broke that." But I'm deff calling him tomorrow again to pick his brain and double make sure.
SO... I'm working out some financing with some CC's and my Bank to see who can break the best deal. If it all goes well... You know... I'll be blown ha.
My local perfomance shops suggested I look into a Vortech HO kit(polished). I originally went asking about the ProCharger HO but he said unless I was looking for some sick power that the Vortech would suit me better. I'm only after 425-450rwhp on a very conservative dyno tune. That and hes giving me a killer deal on the Vortech HO unit, very good deal. Hes extremely experienced in both those centri units along with whipple and hellion turbo systems.
Why centri? First off price big thing being a full time student, second I like the no boost idea till 3k ish for traction reasons being in FL the rainy state, third... yeah price again. haha TS would be nice but its outta my price range and for how I drive the centri will do just fine.
Opinions on the Vortech HO?

Sounds awesome, how much power would the procharger put out? My dream stang will end up being around 600hp or so, hopefully...

Sounds awesome. The vortech sounds like it would fit you well. Have you been in both (centri vs. ts)? Sounds like plan supercharger is all systems go

Anyways, hopefully I can get the finances to go through and again talk the service manager at the Ford dealership.
This will be for the LCA & relo brackets? Or the whole enchilada.. DS and loop too?
As far as the 16/17, I may have that b-day party going on.. will know for sure as it gets closer.
I've always had it, just kept it hidden under my budget black towel floor mats.
No comments on my ****?
How about my Simpson movie playing in the background?

The **** looks good, and I saw the Simpsons movie, pretty funny.
Jon, I hope that supercharger comes through for you, I'm eager to see it. I think it'll look awesome on your car!

Thanks, so do I. Tax returns are coming soon to soften the blow. What hurts also is I'm tied down with LTs I just had installed(get the car back tomorrow). Haha theres money which coulda been for the blower. Oh well its done and it'll work perfect with a blower.
