yeah, that setup is kinda rigged but there have been a few others who have done a very nice job setting up a blower on a 2.3.... one was on a pinto and it all fit under the hood......

yes true. that kid spent more money on his tires than the set up of the supercharger.

We are still tuning the computer and finishing the interior but I think the turbo version will walk all over the SC version. The SC version was a strong runner though. Best description is it felt like a stock lo-po V8. There were problems getting enough boost because of the pulley ratio. It ran around 10 PSI or so. The SC was an M90 out of a T-Bird SC.

We pulled all the SC stuff off. I think he might be selling it if someone's interested.
