Yes it's an Eaton, but not the exact same model that's on our 03/04's. The Eaton they speak of is the R122. Our cars came with the M112. The R122 has a larger displacement. I'm sure using another Heaton instead of a twin screw is saving them money.

Maybe it will be a bigger, more efficient version of our Heaton. I hope so. Just think of the power possibilities of the blown 5.4 4valve w/ a twin screw. Would could have been......................

You think an Eaton screaming at wide open sounds nasty, listen to a Kenne Bell on a 03-04' Cobra. That being said, when I do my blower swap I will be going with the Whipple.
