Awesome sky... You won't regret it. Putting that blower on my car totally transformed it. Nothing like it.

Located in frozen barren wasteland Iowa.

Install on the Whipple and Roush are basically identical. The kit is actually the same minus the head unit.

I'm in barren frozen white desolation Saskatchewan. We're colder than Iowa but probably have less tornados.


Can't wait till spring to get the GT and the m/c on the road!


Very tempted to install a blower but thinking of retiring soon - so retire no blower or work one more year and retire blown??

Life is indeed short and not to be wasted. I think 2015 might be a good year for a blower and 2016 to retire. Still like what I do.

I shall have to carefully consider the centrifugal or the twin rotor type when the day comes. Both seem to have advantages at various aspect points. I do like the idea of torque right off the hop though.

I know there set ups are very safe so any input would be appreciated.

Thank you
I am personally going for the STAGE 3.

I have to agree with his simple comments, Danielle. '15 is "meh". Quote of the day.

1) I don't think a blown GT is better than a Shelby. Shelby ALL THE WAY!
2) Resale value depends on how well your car is taken care of, mileage and what someone is willing to pay for it.

Agree... In my case, I will never sell so I don't care what the value is. And secondly, people know how well I take care of my car inside and out, aesthetically and mechanically, so, I know I will have no issue selling it here on this forum or locally as I have already gotten several offers (annoying actually)
