Thanks for the comments guys. I really like the way that came out. I will confess however, it's not totally hand drawn, I use a lot of measurements when I draw, I use t-squares, triangles, the whole lot. Now if we can just speed up time a little, so I can get started.
The stripes on the glassback look awesome, I thought I'd remembered seeing it done before. Anyone but me absolutely love the KR's wheels? They probably cost an arm and a leg though.
Tom, I just referred to it as a blower, because it's FI, it still blows air into the cylinder, but from a different source. But you got my meeting.
Luis, I'm not a big fan of the ducktail, but go with CDC's. I think the SSE makes the rear look too tall.

Luis, should have been around here in POTR last year, Leo had a brand new CDC ducktail in a box to sell.
Not worried about the internals. I can't speak of superchargers, but turbos are variable depending on load. If I'm at WOT at 5000 RPM in 4th gear then I'm going WAY too fast.
Most of the playing around is in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd... where the load is different and boost doesn't go as high as 10.0 psi. WOT in 3rd gear shows about 8psi on my boost gauge.
It's for the Ford Fusion key fob.
Do you know how hard it is to talk to a "tuner" ? I called my "tuner" to let him know I'm still about 2 weeks out before I can think about scheduling an install. He starts talking about specific packages, this is after the agreed deal for the normal Whipple HO 500hp unit installed, dyno tune and out-the-door, custom intakes, custom short blocks, long block, Just pistons and rod leaving the crank stock, bigger blower....etc
I mean come on guys do you know how tempting all that is.... It's hard enough looking at how much I'm going to end up spending on it as is, don't throw a "more power and safe option" at me....

With luck I could be FI by Fab Fords

I'm saw those a few months ago and I can't decide if I'm 100% sold on them. I do like them a lot though. And oh btw, my birthday is on the 22nd! Those would be a great gift!!!
What's the saying.....
"How fast do you want to go ? Well, how much do you want to spend ?"
Who needs 'safe options'.. live on the edge! Right, Tom?
What's this? A POTR BBQ party you say?
Leo.. Leo.. Leo!!!

actually, it'll be me that's last!
790hp, dang!
I've seen that saying come to life Brian. One of the reasons that I like the older style carburated engines, is because they tend to be less expensive, especailly if you can work on them yourself.
