Super clean

Tom,
Nice build.

How do you like the power? Do you prefer the eaton supercharger or a nasty turbo setup?

We havent tuned it yet, so i havent really driven it hard, but it is super responsive. If the goal with this car was 800RWHP, we would have went turbocharging for sure, but 450-500RWHP in this car was the goal, and the factory blower system should get us there, plus having factory stock Ford driving characteristics is a nice benefit.

I posted in the other thread as well, but this car looks great! Obviously pro-touring isn't really about drag racing per say, but I'm curious as to what she would run in the 1/4? I'd bet 11s as she sits? 450-500rwhp and what, 3300lbs?

Havent weighed it, but I think that is in the ball park.

03/04 Cobras with the same pulley setup have trapped in the 118's, and they weigh a few hundred pounds more, for whatever that is worth.

That car will likely be a lot more than 3,300 lbs, unless there has been weight reduction done. The supercharged 32V 4.6 is a heavy powertrain, Ford went back to an iron block in the 03 - 04 Cobras for strength. The engine assy. with supercharger and associated parts will be ~800 lbs. IIRC, heavier than an FE big-block.

Very nice installation!!
