If I had a PI GT, and was going to put a blower on, I'd use the Tork Tech blower manifold and a Eaton off a Cobra. You're looking at $3000 +/- a couple hundred for a positive displacement type blower. Heck of a deal if you ask me.

For that much money you could buy a COUPLE of used Vortech's, a used KB, an On3 Turbo Kit, etc etc. All of which will blow the Tork Tech with a stock Eaton out of the water.

Oh Lord, here goes the "Eaton vs. xxxxxx" argument.....:rolleyes:

Ok, just to clarify, I wasn't comparing the Tork Tech kit + an Eaton to anything other than a positive displacement supercharger. Yes, I know you can get Vortechs, Prochargers, Novis, all sorts of centi superchargers for less than that. If I'm not mistaken, there's a complete kit in the classifieds here on Stangnet for a 98 GT for <$1000. I know that there are great deals on them for less than $3000. Yes, I've seen that turbo advertised, but I've never actually heard of anyone using it, so I have no idea about the reliability of it. Not to mention most people don't want a turbo car. But this isn't my point.

My point is that this is about as cheap as it gets for a positive displacement blower. A complete Kenne Bell (all the extras: fuel pump [or BAP], injectors, heat exchanger, intake, etc, etc) for less than $3000? Sounds like the deal of a lifetime, and I would jump all over it, but I've never seen that happen. Not saying that it doesn't or hasn't, just that it doesn't very often. The Tork Tech manifold is $1900. That leaves $1100. Do I see complete Eaton kits going for that? Yes, pretty regularly. Eatons off a Cobra can be had for $300, regularly. It was a few months ago, I saw an Eaton, intercooler, throttle body, intake, heat exchanger, injectors, MAF, everything, go for $800. You're looking at a PD S/C sitting on the car for $2700. And this isn't something you have to wait around a year for to find a deal on. I'll stick to my original statement: Heck of a deal if you ask me.

And besides, the Tork Tech + Eaton will push a 2v car beyond its internal limits anyway, so I wouldn't care too much about something out-performing the Eaton. Unless of course I had a forged motor, in which case I don't think a budget S/C build would be of concern anyway.
