This is the plan, but I am going to increase the boost over what they have there... That is the low end setup (6 - 7 psi) I am planning on the (10 - 12 psi) version at the end of the day...

Oh, and for a point of reference in the RS4 straight up is 100 MPH on both the US and EURO models. Just as a point of reference for those who watch this vid.

Thanks Sean. Right now that's the closest I have come to seeing our car. It was supposed to ship on Friday, that didn't happen. The only thing I see for all the $$$ we spent is a title and a insurance bill. I haven't seen the car since January. I know it exists. Hopefully I will see and drive it before I die of old age. Really bummed!!!! At this rate we will be renting mopeds for the spring run.(lol) rxmclaren7, that was a great video. Are you sure you can't have done by the spring run? I would love to see it and hear it up close and personal.

Well, actually the RS4 is mine, and it would be done if I could get the SC and supporting items pulled together by then. It is just not as easy as one would think to put a supercharger on an already strung out V8 from Europe. I have worked very closely with pro-charger in the past, and if there was room, I would just put one of those on, but there is not room for one under the hood.
I have put many D and F 1's on 95+ mustangs... I think the last one I did was in the low 800's. But we lost the motor and put in a dart block (331)... It was a very fun car - Steeda Base

Dave, thats one hot ride!!! Ever think about a custom carbon fiber hood? That way you can get any SC you want. Did I see some carbon on the hood already?

No, the issue with the SC is not the hood it is the front to rear clearance in the enginge bay... I am going to ask rxmclaren7 to post some pics, he is much better at that than I. I just drive...

WOW!! That's tight. Looks like you would have to be a contortionist to do any work on it.

Um Ya, like I said, there is no room under the hood of that car... I do believe right now that they actually started with the motor and just built the rest of the car around it. I am not really sure how they fit that in the car, note the front and rear, that weather stripping is the front and rear of the engine bay.
As to having the SC on by then, Hans has been looking to find a place to do it quicker, but MTM builds the SC kit on an order by order basis. So, as a result of that there is a 6 week lead time from MTM and then any shipping delays going 1/2 way around the world and dealing with customs etc.
So I am keeping my fingers crossed right now so all this stuff comes together in time for the august rally.
If not, I will at least have it re-programmed and an exhaust on it. Stuff from MTM is not cheap at all.
