ProCharger supercharges the 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0

[MRaburn]

There’s something to be said about being first to market; you get the choice of all the best fruits (of your labor) and it shows just how much dedication and time went behind the scenes in the creation of a new product.* ProCharger is absolutely no stranger to forced induction and now, they’ve done it [...]

It should come with a new set of shelby rods hahaa

That brings up another question.. Is Shelby upgrading the rods in the GT350? They claim to be adding 100hp w/ the Whipple supercharger but they don't mention anything about the rods either. I'm interested in finding out if all of these supercharger companies will have problems with the stock rods or if the rods are stronger than Ford said.

Here's what vortech said about my pretty much verbatim response to their youtube video.

big words but I won't be doing anything like that until a warranty is gone
