Muuuhahahaha!!
Thanks sir! I need better pics. I just haven't had time to detail her since I took her down for surgery. Was about 3 weeks. Longest I went with her being "dirty". Cleaned her up last night, but darkness fell. Now rain. So she's tucked in the garage, but hopefully bring her out this weekend.

Thanks Diva... you're right, I was surprised at how "quiet" the blower was. I remember reading threads about how loud the magnuson blowers were. I was expecting a screaming. But I can barely hear it over my Borlas. I guess one could say it's definitely a "sleeper". "There goes another 5.0...."
Car looks killer Burton. Great job man. And yes,....the horsepower mod is a bad one! lol

Loved watching the project unfold. You did a great job! I must say though I am a little disappointed that you didn't try and expand your horizon with the gage wiring. On the flip side, when it's all said and done sometimes it's best to know your limitations and not press the issue! I'm also a lot jealous. I’ve wanted a supercharger since the first day I bought my GT. I still have to get through a few years of warranty before I can go nuts!
...some additional power mods wouldn't cost all that much...until you shuck the rods out the bottom of the engine! Just teasing...but a little serious about the rods...600hp is about it with the stockers unless you're a gambler...you don't strike me as that kind!
Naughty Mary needs new shoes now...she's lusting for bigger! I put a set of 20x11 with a 59mm offset in the rear (315/35) and 20x9.5 with a 42mm offset out front (275/35). Rubber is Michelin Pilot SS. The only thing I would do differently is go with a 305/30 in the rear. The backside of the left tire rubs in unusual (Twisting) attitudes...plus I think the sidewall height on the 30 series tires out back would match more closely with the 35's out front.
Well done sir!

what's the stock hp of the stage 3? I would imagine at least 575?Yeah I think for me what I have is good for now. Pulley change and tune someday. I don't want to push the boundaries of the safety of the motor beyond what is recommended by magnuson...

FYI, I am once again thinking about this. Thinking about adhering it on the bottom of the 5.0 emblems on the side. I need to find the link to this sc emblem....

Tony, you need more hp??? Lol your stage 3 is not enough???? what's the stock hp of the stage 3? I would imagine at least 575?

I have a 2013, so the horsepower rating is 565 and 505 lbs of torque. The 2014's have 575 horsepower. It's like a disease Burton, you'll see. lol
Yeah, you have to be careful with pushing it too much. Then you have to worry about motor internals, the transmission, the suspension and so on. lol
Ahhhhhhh,......the life of a hot rodder.
Enjoy your car bud.

Personally, I say neither on the logo. But, if you insist in getting one, I agree with your buddies as well.
