Gabe... If a schmuck like me can successfully install a supercharger, a stud like you can do an even better job than I ever could. Save the money (am guessing 1k to 2k to pay for install?). On top of that, the supercharger installation was the most fun I have ever had working on a car in my entire life. And I truly mean that.

No, not Pete, he doesn't do installs, his cousin next door does, but somebody else anyway, somebody that's done a bunch of them, and will also install the new gauges.

No, wrong Patrick. Tony and I have a member Patrick in our car club that just had a black Vortech kit installed in his '13 GT and the place did a horrible job

I know, I really wanted to do it, but it's just gonna work out better this way I think.
The guy doing it (for nowhere near the numbers you mention ) has done a bunch of them, has been a Ford tech in the 70's and been working on Mustangs ever since. Owns 2 himself right now, including a Terminator.
I'd be a fool to not have him do it, especially for the price I'm getting and the quick scheduling I'm getting.

He owns a Corvette too? If it's who I'm thinking of.

Grew up in El Paso. That dust coating is all too familiar to me.

I agree; What brand antenna is that? I have one too, but I think it's a different brand. I don't remember what the brand is.
