Soudns awesome, but as the others have said, clean up that wiring mess please. Looks like you had a rats nest under the dash as well

I also noticed you did not have a vacuum line hooked to the FMU, any reason that's not there as well?? Take the time to neaten a few things up and you're all set

yeah I know those are the wires that run to my gauges. It is so cramped under my dash I cant find a place to run them. I have had to rewire alot of that car so there is ALOT of wires but i have them running from inside the fender through the door jam...just temporary...as far as the cutouts. A while back I got into a wreck and my orignal bumper was destroyed and my brother had this one so he gave it to me so I did have to buy a new one. Just so happen that my exhaust fit right in lol

yeah because I am not running the FMU. I just havent had time to take it off. My fuel lines are running through it but I have 42# injectors so there is not need for the FMU or the BTM box. The wires you saw was the wires that run to the controller for the BTM but I dont use it either

What size belt are you running? I just installed a Paxton NOVI 1220 on my 88 GT and I have rubbing between the tensioner and water pump pulley. Your belt looks shorter than mine... I'm running an 84.5"...

Ahh the fun of a SCed Mustang. Ya gotta lovem.

Hey, someone above mentioned this. It sounds as if you've got a belt slipping. You might ought to check the tension on your sc pulleys. You can usually tell by black powdery dust around your pulleys.

Good Luck with it.

SC's have straight cut gears because its in the V1 series of blower which explains the sound. If his blower belt was loose it wouldn't be making that sound, thats for sure. Just make sure your belt isn't to tight, don't want to cause any damage.
