well, In dominican Republic where i live, with high taxes, you must be willing to pay around US$ 70,000 for an IS350. For an IS-F you must be willing to pay around US$ 100,000. Soo 5k for a Supercharger that will make the IS350 closer to an ISF, its a good deal!

Only in a straight line...you're still missing the brakes and suspension. The difference is pretty significant.

Most performance mods need a watch and timed course to demonstrate actual improvement. Few deliver the advertised claims. Many are actually worse than stock. The best performance mods are made to the driver.

Emotional arguments - They're not just for chicks anymore.

No. The suspension is fundamentally different. The control arms, subframes, front hubs, pretty much everything is very different.

Update - Here at CBRD Speedfactory now on the AWD Mustang Dyno. They are doing pulls in 3rd gear and the stock trans keeps downshifting!! WTF! Hope to solve the problem, didn't happen for me on the street at all. They have seen this problem before with other auto trans paddle shift set ups.

Just shot a quick video of that happening, have everything up tonight!

Doesnt it need to be in 4th gear and snow mode?? so it wont downshift?

Oh yeah...and I take back what I said about being hoodwinked, patience isnt one of my virtues and I apologize.

Yup, any other method will be deemed foolish and an attempt to mislead. In 4th with snow mode on you should be able to get a clean pull from 2500 rpms on up.

Was a base dyno ever performed? Or did I miss that.

Bone stock my car put down 221 WHP on the Mustang AWD Dyno at the wheels. They rate the car at 306hp at the crank as you all know with the 3.5L V6. That is the difference I saw with actual power bone stock.

My IS F is rated at 416hp and did 338 on the dyno before it was twin turbo'ed. That then did 574hp @ 6psi after forced induction.

Getting ready to release video's, dyno sheets, working on the production of that. My video program took a crap, need to head to Best Buy. I'm VERY happy with the numbers, and I know we can make even more power!!!

Kinda odd...that's 40-45 or so rwhp less than just about everyone else on earth dynos stock on their 350.

Are you sure they did that dyno properly since they don't even seem to know what gear to dyno the car in, let alone how to avoid it downshifting?

Nothing unusual. Mustang dyno reads lower that dyno jets.

And typically MORE accurate from what I have been told by many people, but that is a debate for another time.
