why would you think that? I just can't make another setup until I finish this one, and make some progress on my 94.

at this rate you're never going to finish your 94 but I cant say anything cause the same thing is probably going to happen to me soon

I think people associate blowers with Mustangs because most Muscle cars made by companies come with a blower out of the factory. I've yet to see a american muscle car equipt with a turbo right out of the factory.

www.boostedsystems.com

And browse around in the "Turbochargers" section, more specifically under Master Power.
That is the T70 he is refering to.

i wanna go turbo, i wish i was able to do it the cheap way like the DIY users u see on turbomustang.com Also i live in california so dont know if that would even be a good idea, and the headgasket thing seriously scares me, i think might be wanting to stay N/A just becuz of the headgasket issues notorious to 5.0L's

Beat me to it! The 89 T/A with the GNX engine in it is actually the fastest production T/A ever.

Well after the 125 shot of n2oset-up, an S-Trim 8#'s, then S-trim on n2o 12#'s, and then methanol on top of that, then a KB. I have finally seen the light Mike with this turbo set-up. I thought I had the best blower on my car with the KB set-up but this turbo is the best damn power adder I have ever had!

I'm so exited b/c this is just the begining for me and this set-up and we have a lot of future plans together!
9 psi is what I got now w/o a controller and I can't wait to boost it up!

I use to be a big turbo fan. I was researching them, and was planning on making my own JY setup. But I have kinda changed my mind since the 03 Cobra came out. Seeing what people can do with a blower is pretty amazing. The lag you get form a turbo is also what has tured me off of them. Same goes for centri blowers. There is absolutely NO lag whatsoever in a positive displacement blower. In drag racing this might not be as much of a problem, since you are always in the higer RPMS for the most part, but for AutoX and road racing, you need that low end grunt to get you out of corners. ANd plus, low end torque is what makes a car fun to drive...as in, you don't have to drive it like you hate it to get into the boost and go fast.

I doubt that it would be faster than the '02 WS6.
