today... From HP Performance.
Still haven't got the piping or compressor housing yet but that should be coming by the end of next week.
its taken about 9 weeks, originally est. 8 weeks but it is an estimate and im happy so far with the product and suppport. called probably every few days for the last 3 weeks and nathan talked with me and kept me up to date.
also, my big bore Dart 347 should be coming in monday, im excited.

havent updated my project here in a while but its going strong. Not going to be able to paint the car but i will be painting the engine bay. been prepping that and painting calipers and odds and ends gutting the interior for rewire and roll bar.

hopefully by the end of march this thing will be about ready to start.

Yeah, would like to hear more info on the combo as well. I am having a big bore Dart 347 built right now. I plan on running my supercharger for a year until I can afford to go turbo.

I dont have any pics of the parts besides one of the TURBO on my phone, when i get get home from work I'll take some of everything thats building up in my living room

Dart Big bore 347, 3.5 stroke X 4.125 Bore. Filled with probe froged crank, rods, blower pistons. Not sure on final compression ratio...
the cam is crane custom with 220in/224exh duration and .544/.560 lift

some may disagree on my head choice...GT40's but they have a stage 3 port and upgraded valves and springs w/ 3 angle valve job.

then the stage one HP Perf turbo kit w/ 60mm garret

the head choice is fine, the guys on turbo mustangs are making in the 500's on explorer motors.....now take a set of worked gt40s, 347 and a good intake and it will make sick power with supporting mods and a tune

I think its going to be about right. I don't have extremely big heads and my cam is relatively small. Also the purpose of the route I'm going is so I don't have to tear to much apart to upgrade... I.e heads, turbo...ect.
