I think I could handle the Procharger by myself, but the roush looks like it could be a challenge. Whipple also seems like it is kinda hard...

Did most of you take your GTs to a shop for install, or did it yourself in your own garage? :cheers:

Did my Whipple install myself and would not consider it hard; just time consuming but enjoyable. Plenty of us on here to help regardless what you buy.

Installed the Vortech myself. I'd recommend installing it yourself to learn how it all works.

It'll help you diagnose any issues later like intercooler piping coming loose, etc.

Does the Procharger make a nice sound? I had a Vortech on my old Mustang and it was kinda quiet.

I really like the idea of the Procharger, but it's not smog legal here in CA

The standard gears are loud. I love it!

I did the Whipple in my garage and it wasn't hard, just time consuming. The hardest part was setting the manifold and blower on. Well that part wasn't hard but I had to have someone help and I was very careful to set it straight down so the o rings did not pop out.

I did my own Whipple install. The worst part is pulling off the front bumper due to the 2 fender bolts. Everything else was easy
