Car is screwed

I had been researching superchargers ever since I bought my stang back in April. After saving up for a few months I was finally able to break down and buy one.

I decided on a Whipple 500HO supercharger. It was installed by CJPonyparts in Harrisburg PA.

Unfortunately there arent any mustang knowledged-based installers in this area and before I took the car over 200 miles away I wanted to make sure the installer was worthy. I would like to thank Torrence for answering all the questions I had regarding the quality of workmanship at CJponyparts. I would also like to thank Bill @ cjponyparts for putting up with my emails over the course of the install.
The price for the blower, install, and dyno simply could NOT be beaten by any other vendor/installer I had checked with on this and other mustang sites.

The car was 'safely' tuned by SGS automotive to a sum of 493rwhp @6400rpm and 437 ftlb tq @5k rpm

The only issue I had was the dyno shop ripped the wires out of both front ABS sensors when the car was strapped to the dyno. The guys at CJ's tried to get replacements from a local ford dealer but they were out of stock so they took 2 replacements from one of their personal mustangs and sent me on my way. Unfortunately it was snowing most of my 200 mile trip back home so I didnt get too many chances to get on the car until I got onto some dry roads near the NY-PA border. I was able to get on it a bit and I was simply AMAZED!

I couldnt be happier with how AWESOME this car is and hope to someday build up the bottom end of the motor and make this car an absolute monster.

Enjoy the pictures

Congrats and welcome to the club ... I remember how it felt when I picked my car up and got on it for the first time. I asked the guy's at Steeda if they had anything to get this off my face ...

I just kept reading, waiting to hear about how it had a boo-boo on the dyno or something...hence the rollback tow truck picture.

Install was 12 hours and the dyno was 3. The only reason I left the car with them for 2 weeks was it was tough for me to find someone to follow me down and back as CJ's is 200 miles from me.

Not sure if this was answered, but may I ask how much the whole deal was? Whipple, Install, etc.?
