Bill, congrats on getting everything all sorted out, rebuilt, and retuned. As I have the same Vortech V2 on my 07 GT, wanted to share some of my thoughts on the 387/354 you put down on the rollers.
Consider that Vortech advertises our blower at 420/385 flywheel hp/tq (with the stock pulley and non-cooled, like our cars)...
351 rwhp in my heavy 07 GT automatic is good enough for consistent 12.30's @ 111 mph in the 1/4 mile, which was my original goal when I bought the supercharger. Bill, no reason why your 387 rwhp wouldn't net you 12.00's at 114+ mph in the 1/4 mile (maybe even 11.90's in the right weather). That's a fast street car, my friend.
As already noted, adding the aftercooler would allow much more aggressive tuning and a smaller pulley. These V2 S-trim blowers can supposedly support engines up to 680hp (per Vortech's website), so there is far more potential left to tap into, and far more than anyone could really need in a regularly driven street vehicle.
Again, congrats. And remember, while dyno #'s make for great conversation, it's timeslips that make for bragging rights.

- On a manual transmission, that should yield 357/327 at the tires. You exceeded those figures by 30/27, even though you're down on compression ratio vs stock pistons.
- On an automatic, that should yield 336/308 at the tires. My car was in that ballpark with 351/304, even though I ran my heavy 18" wheels/tires through a very loose (4800 rpm) stall converter & 4.10 gears on a Mustang Chassis Dyno (which tends to read lower than Dynojets by about 5-10%).

I do intend on taking it to the track once I get wider tires out back. The stock 235's just aren't going to cut it.
Around -1 second to whatever you're running.

I have a question about bills car. What hapened to it to need forged stuff? Or did he build his block up just in case?
Just wondering. Nice numbers btw. 100+ more to the wheels on a stang is mighty nice in my book.

Old motor went boom. There is a thread around here somewhere but I am too lazy to search.
Hey Fly, talk to the hand until you go Forced Induction.
(Fly on the left)
Yeah, yeah... that's why I spanked yo azz twice on the street. That had to leave some scars.
Thanks Brian. I just might to make those 2 guys STFU.
Like Brian mentioned, stock motor went south while I was heading north. It was ugly.
