Its hard to tell us apart, we both drink like fish and love women! Bob is a great guy, he mentioned that you have been chatting with him over the phone! He knows his superchargers

Right now I am loosing sleep over have all the other goodies sitting in the back of the truck waiting to be installed, add the blower early and I will tear it down before everything is here.
I would suggest waiting the 30 days until the testing is done. This way if ANY issues arise its on Magnuson, not your truck. I am working EVERY day with Magnsuon on this project.

Supercoolin - I can get the price on the parts you want. I have to agree with BlownChevy on the wait as this way you will get everything from the small parts like hoses and the intake tube. The SSR kit is made to produce 6 psi, I have customers with automatics that get boost spike as high as 7 psi on shifts. Unless you are looking at doing a set of heads with bigger combustion chambers I wouldnt recommend increasing the boost until you get the kits installed and tuned. Once installed and while tuning you can try some smaller pulleys like the 2.9 or 2.8 (stock is a 3.0). I can sell the shim kits for the pulleys and the smaller pulleys. The 42.5 lbs injectors (Green Tops) are at only about 78%-85% duty cycle with the magnuson tune shooting for 12.5 to 1 AFR.

Won't need an intake tube, have 4"MAS/CAI. Have new heads (9.8 to 1) and custom cam for the blower, headers on way and will fab my own 3" dual exhaust and I have enough small parts to do a half a dozen kits. And 43# injectors won't handle the initial set up. Been there done that. Now that I know the engine warranty will not be available, I don't need a model specific kit. Got your PM and will give you a call on Monday unless you are available over the weekend....let me know.

I have fallen in love with the Saleen set up for the Mustang and am half tempted to build something like it with a Whipple 2.6L. My SW headers arrive tomorrow by FedEx and the only thing missing is the Supercharger and at my age, I no longer have to wait for sh*t!!!
