I've been working on a little project for the past five months, here are some before and after pictures...Thanks for looking! :D


My main goal in this miniature project was to improve style and performance along with regular maintenance. Cracked hose lines and bushings, bad sensors, clogged injectors and squeaky ball joints where just a few things that needed replacing. I also wanted to improve style and performance with a VFN cowl hood, powder coating the manifold and adding stainless steal braiding to some of the hoses. Not that much in performance…just a larger throttle body, manifold spacer and larger coolant tank for the supercharger intercooler.

Nice ride, what boost does it run? Also is it illegal to use GM badges on a Ford;)

6 psi of boost...I'm sure it's ok as long as it's domestic badges, lol:D.

I could, but I'll be safe at 6 psi for a while as long as I don't push it. Yes roots.
