...decent power? 12.8 is really fast man. i dont think you even realize. think about it this way. the 12.8 sec cobalt on here would finish more than 2 seconds faster than you in the quarter looking at your 1/4 time in your sig. 2 seconds is like 15 car lenghts or more...basically, thats the difference between a z06 and a c6, its even a bigger difference actually. 12.8 seconds is actually exactly the fastest any of the daily driver 4.0 v6's on our mustang forums have done lol...thats kinda weird, but man for a 14 sec car 12's is real good for a daily driver, so dont worry about it.
I love it!

I know everyone is not into spending what I have, but we will see how far this Supercharger can be pushed with an added turbo. We will also learn how reliable this is for daily driving. Other than going to work (I work way too far away) I will drive this car everywhere. We will get initial dyno's when we are tuning but I will not be turning up to full boost until 3,000 miles. However I plan on putting those first 3,000 on quickly.
are you doing the twincharge setup where the blower pushed and the turbo just spools later on and boosts on top of the blower or are you setting it up so the blower spools the turbo? I have seen one set up with a blower spooling a turbo (not a cobalt) on streetfire and god damn it was tight. they used a huge turbo and it spooled almost instantly because of the blower.

in response to using a pulley smaller than 2.5": yes that would push the blower out of its RPM range, however, you could use a smaller pulley if you machine the snout. It WOULD be beneficial if you had a boost controller. Thank about it, you can boost so much quicker in your low and mid range, then set the max psi to 17-20, whatever you wish. It would make the car quicker. No it wouldn't add to the maximum hp, but it would add to low and mid range

even a 2.5" is 34% faster.
