Default I've added a TrackDog air/air IC. I had an air/water IC, but it wouldn't keep up.

I run about 8 psi. I ditched the stock ECU in favor or a Link with larger injectors. The car made 165 HP at the wheels on the EPL's Mustang dyno. Stock is 128 at the crank.

Default All I know is that it won't work on a 5.4. 4.7 should be fine, but I don't think

it would be able to do more than a standard low pressure boost setup (6-7psi.)

Default There's MORE than enough room between the "V" and the hood. At it's thickest

point, this unit is only 5.75" tall. Even with the 3" plenum/manifold that I was planning on installing, I didn't expect any clearance issues.

Default Non intercooled setup would be relatively easy. CNC some plates to match your

existing intake ports, build your self a plenum (which should at least match the volume of the engine,) then link it to the plates with runner tubing. Bolt up the supercharger, then re-route the necessary vacuum lines to the intake side of the supercharger (and move any components that happen to be in the way.) After that, it's a matter of working out the fueling/having it tuned.

Default BTW, the M90 on their site is not the same one I'm selling. Mine is off of a Thunderbird, so it has

a much smaller case. The only downside is that it does not have a built in bypass valve. Ford chose to install it on a seperate piece, and that piece did not come with the unit (even if it had, the placement of the bypass valve would have created clearance issues.)

The car is about 2400 pounds. It's pretty snappy. ;-)
