Supercharged Mustang. Sleeper or Screamer?

Now that I am officially part of the "Blown Pony" clan, I must say I have been tempted to add some kind of "supercharged" embleming to my car. However, remaining a "sleeper" (as much as I can with a Whipple) can also be fun .

What are you guys doing?

If I could afford a blower, I'd keep it stock looking, no badges. It's much cooler to be underestimated.

Never let know what you're bringing to the fight...

Sleeper all the way.

With any twin-screw, I'd say forego any exterior "advertisement". With a Vortech or ProCharger, advertise away. Why? Simple. You really can't hear a twin-screw until you get on it. So sleeper it is. With a centrifugal, anyone with ears can hear you coming a block away so people will know regardless...

It could be like if I put a Divers sticker on my vehicles , they think hey Frre gear smash & grab, maybe the same could happen with advertised high ticket auto parts ? If you know there's where it counts right ? but it's your choice.

Sleeper. Keep them guessing as they see your tailights dissapear into the distance. This is especially hard on the arrogant GM crowd.

I vote sleeper. Thats what I'm doing. Although I was thinking about getting a new personalized tag with "sleepr" on it. That may defeat the idea of it being a sleeper though.

Sleeper! Let those turbo neon's, civic's, and anything else that has a four banger think they have speed till you blow them off the road.

Alright, you guys talked me into it!! He he. I'll keep it lo-pro.
To answer your questions, yes, I got it back. With a very conservative tune (upon my request), I'm putting down 441rwhp and 423tq. Adam at ST also gave me a more aggressive street tune that should put down closer to 460rwhp, and a race-only tune that should put down around 480rwhp.

I have the dyno sheet for the base tune and I'll post it up when I get a chance. Been busy as hell lately!

Rob, when I get my Saleen blower installed next year, I'm going with the "sleeper" look. So when some snook pulls up in a Stock C6, and give me that arrogant look, I can blow his doors off.

Rebel if you don't mind my asking, how much did the final tab come out to? Adam isn't too far from me (I'm in Corona) and I am planning on getting an s/c before the end of the year.

Just curious to know what I am in for. If you don't want to post pricing here would you kindly PM me?

Thanks!!!
