Hey guys and gals I'm getting ready to purchase the 2.8 mammoth just wanting to know if anyone has had any problems with this setup. Also will the stock clutch handle this much horsepower. Also is it safe to put a smaller pulley with this blower

how is the driveabilty is the car still rock solid as a daily driver
I second that. I've had mine on since Feb '07 with no issues. It's drives just like stock until 1/3rd throttle and then hold on.... My wife drives it all the time too.:dw:
Now that you've got two responses for the "guys" part of the questions, GOTSVT? will chime in from the "Gals" side soon!:lol:
Ehhhh hmmmmm, let me adjust my skirt, hahaha
oke:I love mine. I have cold start issues with mine, not a big deal.
The kit is well constructed and REALLY wakes the car up.
I am on the stock clutch, once she goes I will upgrade. Give Kent @ EVO a call, he will take care of you. :beer:
I will be chasing rdsnk46 and manowar down at Mustang Week 2010!

The kit is hands down the easier bolt-on install I've ever done. The quality on the blower/kit is unmatched IMO.
I've put about 2000k miles on mine so far(total 4000 miles on car) with zero driveability issues/clutch...etc). You'll love it.

thanks everyone I am getting more excited everyday. Keep the info coming what kind of exhaust setup are you guys running. I don't want it real loud just when I am full throttle I want people to say what the hell was that
I drove my 2007 GT500 with the 2.8 and 3" upper pulley on it for 28,000 miles, occassionally drag racing it at the track, with no issues. Clutch went out about 12K. Car drives like stock until you get inot the throttle.
Perfect!

The tune can be as agressive or as mild as you desire. [email protected] is the only way to fly. Jon Lund is by far the superior choice when it comes to GT500 tuning. He will make the tune for your driving style!
In the video above, it was the stock lower and 3 in. @ 20psi. Kooks and catt'd mid pipes with Magnaflow's. It was 725whp then.
My prothane mounts were required for the Kooks.
I have no doubt mine was one-in-a-thousand, but I did not have to cut the hood brace on my 2007 to clear the KB. Heck, I even kept the blanket on it, although it did rub in a couple of areas with it on there.
I ran the stock lower and 3" upper on 93 octane. Made about 17-18lbs of boost.

Running a 3" pulley. The boost is between 16-18lbs.
Dont listen to anything rdsnk46, manowar, and sgt d have to say. Before you know it, they will try to entice you with candy, which eventually leads to "Manlove Thursdays"

3.25 upper 10% OD lower, about 20 pounds of boost on the dyno, on 93 pump w/1 can Torco per tank. On a Mustang dyno it made 715hp 665tq. Factory exhaust with Magnaflow deletes. Jon Lund tune and Prothane motor mounts.
