oh WOW. That thing is going to be an animal!

Looks like there is a ton of room up front to fit everything. What about wastegate placement? Are you running dual WG's?

God damn, that thing looks insane, I can't stop looking at the pic.

Can't wait to see more. Good luck with it.

Its not my car dude..

Pretty bad *** piece though, although I am skeptical of the blower not becoming a bottle neck in the flow of air.

Crazier things have worked though

Heffner has made 1470rwhp with the Ford Gt through the factory blower. The gt 500 blower is a little smaller. I talk to Donny on a reg. basis and this car is going to be trick. Has full Racecraft Inc suspension and a powerglide. They don't want spooling problems for the Gentalmen who owns the car so they are trying the factory blower with a 76mm turbo first. Possibly the car could end up with twins on it also. It started life out as a reg. Gt mustang and got converted into a Gt500.

Mike i saw Travis Franklin's Gt500 twin turbo Hellion car last week when i was in texas on business and it looks pretty good. A little low to the ground when the vehicle is lowered but pretty sleeperish He went mid 11's on stock tires at over 130 and this was only 17lbs of boost.

It is a very clean kit and Travis said it was simple and when i talked to John he said he can do it in 40mins now. Hopefully he does well this weekend and i wish my car was down there also.
Later Dan
