Im l ooking for a chin spoiker in the flat black that you have on the car. Where did you get that? i ripped my old one off.

@travisreck That's the CDC lower spoiler. You can get it in textured black, but I just bought an unpainted one and used rattle can bumper coating to paint it (makes for easy touchups if you scuff it on a curb, etc)

Thanks for posting this. I just over hauled the suspension in my 4.0, lowered, Tokico shocks and struts and a new 8.8 rear end with 3.55 gears, intake, duals, throttle body, drive shaft, you name it. Now I want ot add the Xcharger Hi Po Plus. So Im guessing Ill get close 400 RWP down on the ground. A little nervous about the engine though....any thought on that? Will a blow it up or gaskets.?

[TorchVert]

@travisreck The HiPo Plus won't get you quite that much to the wheels. It weighs in at about 340-350-ish at the flywheel. The X-charger Xtreme (the intercooled version) adds another 30-40 HP and TQ, edging it up towards 400 at the flywheel. As far as blowing it up or gaskets, I haven't heard of a head gasket failure, and only recall hearing of two engine internal problems. 

[TorchVert]

The first internal issue was one of the very first released (S/N 002 I think), and the guy never installed a proper tune before going out to play, with sad but predictable results. The other was more recent, on a very high mileage car (well over 150K mi) where the fuel pump was weak and starting to go. leaned out and damaged a piston. neither issue was directly an "X-Chager" problem. Owner error in the first case, and failure of a supporting system in the second

Its a nice scream, but the rpms seem to climb very slowly. Were you flooring it?

[TorchVert]

@Bmr4life  Flooring it with the tires on it at the time just meant wheelspin, so no, that's not quite floored at the lower RPMs

not gona lie i loveeeee hating on fags with V6's who think theyre badass.....but you dont think ur car is badass....you know it is!!!! and i agree, thats a sick car bro, i love it

The 4.0 is such a tough motor, it can handle so much power it just can't exit the engine fast enough. I've got an x-charger hipo in the 'mail' that's set to arrive next Tuesday. I can't wait. I've still got to get the 8.8 though; I can't seem to find one anywhere at all

@travisreck Except Corvettes are still the best bang for buck performance wise. 20k for a C5 Z06, 45k for a C6 Z06. Youre going to need alot of modding to beat one of those. And the weight distribution in a mustang is awful so no matter what you do its still limited. I think the 5.0 foxbody would be the best bet.

[Turbo05gt]

Travisreck- first: you won't get 400rwhp. Maybe with like 13-15lbs it's has like 8-10lbs in the kit. Second: at that level you will need to build the block. So your looking at another 3-5k depending on short or long block. Let me know if you have any questions. Mustangs FTW.

I RATHER HAVE V6 THAN V8 BECAUSE V6 SUPER CHARGED U CAN DRIVE EVERYDAY BUT IF U GOT V8 ITS TO MUCH NOISE. AND U CANT STAND FOR EVERYDAY. V8 ONLY FOR 1000 MILES PER YEAR V6 20.000 MILES PER YEAR. SOUND IS GREAT V8 BUT EVERYDAY USE U CANT STAND THE NOISE.,.,

[travisreck]

@Blackinterceptor999 Very little money and Mustangs are just plain one of the fastest on the roads. And whoever said they cant handle is full of it. Throw some Tokico, springs and control arms on it for THOUSANDS less than 50k plus sports cars looking astounded on how you thrashed them to death.
