BTW, anyone else wanting to throw an M112 onto their 4.2 engine, SuperSix Motorsports sells an adapter kit you can use to bolt a 03/04 Cobra blower onto your motor.

No its not intercooled. I'm running methanol injection to help cool the charge.

And no one is gonna spend 900 dollars just for the plate from SSM. That $900 price tag was the exact reason I built my own.

Oh the sound.... Going to be awesome.

I had an import truck with an SC on it. Loved the whirring sound that made. Can't imagine starting that V8 up. Idling along. Romping on it. Looking forward to watching this project.
