after reading most of these threads, it seems as though a blower is the bang for the buck and no smoking mirrors!! I like the centrifugal because you keep the boss intake!!

 

If you are going to go with a pressurized system that retains the stock intake why not go twin turbo and open the round grill openings and hang the Turbos there? Twin turbo will kill a centrifigul blower in the performance department any day any time.

Power levels would be amazing.

Well said, I've been researching turbos very heavily as of late. A corkscrew blower is rated at 55% efficiency for torque and power ratings, a centrifugal blower at 60%, whereas a well planned turbo setup is 70-90% efficient. So in essence you get more hang for your buck with a turbo setup but there are those who will preach differently. :shrug:

 

I've been watching this development very closely:

They're going to have 3 kits, including a Boss-specific one, available later this year. Once I see a few people with the production kits, assuming results are good, I'm most likely going to do it.

 

Smoking mirrors, eh?

 

I had no idea that a supercharger was the best bang for the buck mod.....................

 

You can design your own with a compressor map, configuring your cfm and ve ratings as well as a few other calculations. You don't need to be an astrophysicist to put a turbo system together.

 

Just trying to get the opinions of others. Most of the mods I am reading about are yielding little power for the amount of money that is spent, I work hard for my money, spending 25 hundred on custom headers and exhaust to only gain maybe 20hp is a bad investment imo!!

 

^^Buying anything for the new mustangs cost an arm and a leg. I'm baffled how some axel back's cost more then a whole cat-back for a Fox. Less piping, more money? Lol. I'll still end up buying them though.

As for a power adder I personally just can't justify the price for a supercharger or turbo kit. Their all ridiculously over priced IMO. $8,500 for that TT Kit posted above!? No thank you.

My opinion, if you want a power adder sell for an 07-12 Shelby. Pulley it up with a few other bolt on's, a tune, then call it a day. That's the best bang for your buck in my eyes.

I was assuming he meant, "No smoke and mirrors" not an illusion. I thought he meant the the supercharger was real gains and not the illusion of gains that one gets with some other mods.

But, I'm not anywhere near sure about this.

 

That is what I meant! I'm thinking a centrifugal blower(to keep the boss intake), I only want to gain about 150 horse, I feeling that may be a safe region for these mt82 trans!!

 

what about cams for the Boss?
anyone trying after market ones yet? do they exist yet?
