Hey Dom whats the update bud? I havent heard from you in a long time. My plans with the 03 are still going ahead here in about 6 months once I get back in the United States.
 






14.3 @ 92 mph.

Make sure you get the 11 PSI pulley because they are rated for cars that shift at 6,000 rpm.

What year and mods do you have? How much whp did that powerdyn add?
 






Headers, minor intake/head porting, chip, exhaust. Don't have any numbers YET, but I'm meeting up with Doug from Bama Chips at the end of this month and doing some dyno tuning in Warner Robbins, GA. I'll be sure to post what happens.

I look forward to seeing your results. Doug will make it rock.
 






I enjoy hearing about those times. I look forward to daring my KB 2200 to blow my high mileage 302. Give me a good six months also.

Hey bro I might be having to sell my XB-1A head unit in the next 6-8 months. I will be doing a custom install into a Lincoln LS and just dont have alot of room in the engine bay. Being that I will be fabbing all the bracketry and everything else anyways, I might as well get something as small as possible and go from there. Well man take it easy, and let me know when you break 12's. Hopefully by next season I will be breaking low low 13's or possibly high 12's, maybe by next fall I will be in the 11's if all goes well with the build for the explorer.
 






No no rocket, I called dibs first ;)

But I'm very serious that I would buy it. How much would you let it go for?

No dyno tuning yet, I've had some issues with my cars the past few weeks.

I would have to check the prices first, but I would probably let it go for about 200-300 less than MSRP. It is brand spanking new never even seen boost yet :( . Never fully mounted. Zero miles on it. I guess the only reason I would lower the price is that all things being equal, I (like everyone else) would prefer to deal with an actual company because it is more secure feeling, so the price would have to help offset that. Well it is still tentative as of now. First I need to actually come back in country, buy the LS and tear into it to see how much room I got. I imagine the buying and tearing into it will only take about a week after I get back. lol. At that time I will know exactly what I am dealing with. Beau and Dominic have first dibs if I do decide I have to sell it. If I do, I believe whomever gets it will have one heck of a supercharger on their hands. It sure has been a pretty big personal goal of mine, after I flipped my old 5.0 explorer, to use this particular supercharger in another project build of mine. We will see. I think the only way it will find its way into the LS is if I used a cowl hood, which would look totally rediculous on a classy luxury vehicle. hehe. If I did that I might just have to lift it and put some 35" swampers on it too. lol.
 






Isn't the LS V8 the same basic engine that is in the Jaguar V8's? If so, there are supercharged versions to use parts from. You could adapt a larger KB type of supercharger on it.

Pretty closely related engines, but not exactly the same. The KB would be too tall, I would definately need to modify the hood then. I want something quiet, sleek and streetable with a solid powercurve in the upper band when I call for it. Besides, it will be alot easier to fit a centri instead of the KB PD for a custom fit.

Sorry for off topic.
