I will be soon! I've placed my order and am currently waiting for it to arrive in the next couple of weeks.

I came here today to start a thread asking for installation advice/experience. I've started to review the install manual and can see there are a few areas where some additional tips would be beneficial.

Do you have any specific questions, OP? I don't want to highjack your thread if you were hoping to take this in a different direction.

After having several ProCharger kits I'm going with Whipple this time.
I have no desire to get back into flexing brackets causing chewed up or thrown belts and pulley slip because there's not enough belt wrap on the charger pulley.

I have a buddy with an 04 Mustang GT, almost the same situation with his pro-charger. He's saving up to do a Kenne Bell s/c next.

I saw that one, too. I was slightly discouraged about no posts in the past 7 months.

I'm confident that the ProCharger kit will perform well, and that they will stand behind it. I do realize that the pos. disp. blowers are the darlings of this forum. I think they are all good products that have been time-tested by now. I felt like the ProCharger was right for me.

It does look like I will be taking my questions about ProCharger installation to another thread, which is fine!

We need a supercharger or performance-based subforum.

We could use a lot of subforums, all I really want to do is look at the performance and suspension threads. Not the 'General' section.

sorry to hijack...

Are you running the p1sc? Was wondering if the procharged trucks will still run almost as fast as the roush and Whipples with it making less tq. A reputable tuner suggested the procharger if I am toeing a lot because of the way the power is delivered would be easier on the bottom end while towing and such over the positive displacement blowers
