It was until I started and realized it was actually pretty easy.. It's just a timing cover.. and If you mess up they sell them pre-machined for the blower install right from fordracingpartsdirect.com ..

Yes, I can supercharge it, but it's not what the Boss was designed and built for.

I went from 320 hp to 444hp now I am craving more already, HaHaHa

Subscribed..
I would supercharge it for sure!

So I assume you are going to sell the 4.10? Pm me with more info if you are. Thanks.

I will be there in about a year. Just got my car a month ago. Traded in my 2011 camaro for it. I always wanted whipple. The whipple whine is so vicious.

So you're saying pre machined timing covers are sold by ford? Any idea on cost? So theoretically if I bought that cover, I would just need to "bolt"everything on, with no machining of any kind...

I know ford dealers can do the install of a Whipple or roush super charger right? I wonder if they would grind the timing cover too, and the price difference for that.

Its a lot easier to grind the cover than replace it. I did mine in a 1/2 hour. It looks factory. No grind marks or groves. Cut off wheel on a die grinder and a wiz wheel do a great job.
In order to replace the timing cover you have to pull the harmonic balancer and reinstall it. If you have a balancer removal and install tool its not to bad.

I agree, I wish I had him or you as neighbors, I would attempt this with you 2 as backup in case I got flustered and needed help. :-)
My question is, can the MT-82 hold up to the power and torque this poweradder contributes to the drivetrain?

Thanks. It's me. First at home 2.9L install.

Didn't have a manual for this blower either, so I wrote this.
