Tell me about it

It actually hasn't got anything to do with that, I've always loved forced induction. Which is why I had originally bought my '03 Cobra... And why Smokeshow and OldMan got me into Mustangs and S/C's, etc!

I've never personally been in a turbocharged Fox Body. I've turbocharged a few vehicles in my time - mainly sport compacts and imports. Why not make this one my first

It's no rush, not even set in stone. Just an idea that I'd like to look into to see the cost increases, time delays / extensions, etc.

I remember having a discussion witha Street Outlaw racer a few years back, said forward facing turbos for a ram air effect truly didn't come into play until you got upwards of 200mph.. Chip Haverman was the source.. so take it for what it's worth!
