wow:eek: you are packing the power!

Does the IS come with the dual mounted horns behind the grill like that? That is the same way the ones in the 3rd gen LS are.

Thanks everyone! The supercharger is awesome! I couldnt be happier with it. My car can really move now! I raced a GT mustang the other night and was pulling pretty good on him from off the line all the way to 80. At the next light he looked shocked. I think he was wondering how a 3.0L just put the hurt on him. The way my car sounds now is wicked! At idle the car is still really quiet. Once you floor it the sound really comes alive. Last month I dynoed at 252 to the wheels (roughly 310 to the crank). Ive done some things since and will have a new dyno session really soon which will be more than that. Im probably somewhere between 265-275rwhp now

Im hoping when I get my aftercooler they can route the pipe so its not going over the strut so I can fit a front strut bar

Sweet ride!!!! Have you taken it to the track yet?..what are your 1/4 times with the s/c? How many inches did the springs lower your car? Do you have trouble rubbing with the 18's on? Sorry for all the questions..

I havent run the 1/4 yet but will probably do it soon. Im probably around a 2" inch drop right now. I used to rub just a touch when I would take corners REALLY hard. I was thinking of rolling my fenders but after I got my sway bars it went away. Hasnt rubbed since.

Thanks for the info.
That's quite a resonable price.
