2012 5.0 Whipple Supercharger
Thanks for the Kenne Bell tip. I have been digging through the forums and it seems as though people are torn right down the middle on the two and it comes down to personal preference. I don't particularly care for the Kenne Bell scream, but others love it. From what I can tell, the whipple is quieter...although I am in Iraq and the locals don't tend to drive mustangs with superchargers
So I can't personally hear one. I have also heard of major customer service issues with KB...but I definitely like their website. What they say makes sense, but also gives some clues to what others have said about their customer service. I guess it just depends on what you want. KB has tons of room to upgrade if you ever wanted to, and I know you can do a pulley swap on the Whipple. As for the question about the tranny issues, the GETRAG is a mixed bag. Some love it and say it shifts like butter, others would like to drive their car through the front door of a Ford dealership. I guess the computer controls a certain amount of how it shifts, and this is causing some issues on SOME transmissions, although not all. On some forums a Ford Rep is on there addressing the issues to keep the owners happy. I guess it is less of a problem with the 2012s...although I don't know why (maybe they fixed it??)
I appreciate all the thoughtful feedback. I am sorry for starting yet another thread about superchargers as there appears to be tons on other sites, but I guess the interest is still out there.
Dynasty, Lethal is a LONG way for me too, and I may just end up putting the kit on myself. I am not afraid to tackle most anything (heck I have my 65 sawed half in two and once sawed a boat all the way in two to fix a transom issue) so I am not afraid of it. I just want to make sure the tune is perfect and those guys seem to be the most highly touted on the net right now. Might drive the car down there and make a vacation of it!
Thanks again fellow stang owners!
