Same reason I have a KB on mine instead of twins. Deal was too good to pass up.

I have a P1SC, mostly because the deal was too good to pass up. It isn't a daily driver, but I usually exercise her once a week to work. Hopefully after a dyno tune session, the car will be a little more driveable (I get surging under light throttle, WOT I have no problem). SC'ing a daily is definately do-able.

Well I found a 2012 with around 22,000 miles with a TVS and FBO's for 30k. Thought that was a pretty good deal until downtime threw out the KB for 26k lol

Curious... has anyone tried the edelbrock e-force supercharger kit?? I heard they are low on power but they look really good?

As far as I know edelbrock kits don't make the power, I personally think they are ugly as well. If they cost the same as the other S/C's then its definitely not worth it.

I agree, the edelbrock is last on my list lol
So, I found a 2012 with a 2.9, built motor, and T56 magnum for ~$36,500. What do ya'll think??
I really only wanted to spend around 30k though, but it seems like a pretty good deal.

I honestly cannot say I have even ever heard of someone buying one. The kits advertise efficiency so I really cannot say how well they actually do. The Eddlebrock SEMA car however did make like 495 to the wheels, on the boxed tune the kit comes with. Which is about the same level of power most all of these kits make. Most people obviously get custom tunes or pulley down for more power.

I would haggle down to $32k maybe its a little high and just because they added $10k of mods the cost doesn't transfer when selling

Can't go wrong with a blown 5.0. My TVS car was one of the ones you were looking at.

Honestly, I'd love a C6 Z06, my father had one, but it's honestly not a very practical DD.

I would do 32 or even 33, but yeah, 36.5 just seems like a little much to spend on a used mustang gt, even though he does have a decent amount of money sunk into it.

Hey man, what's up. Your's is still at the top of my list for sure. It's a beast and very well done.


With all the cars I've looked at recently, I've just been taking my time as to not make a rash decision.
