ESS Centrifugal Mustang Superchargers

[Veteran]

The install is not too bad. I did it by myself over the weekend. Keep in mind the install video they send is 7 mins long and missing a lot of steps so if you dont work on cars find a friend that knows his way around and engine bay. You will need to cut part of your valve cover and a few other things to make it work.

Cutting parts is not a good thing if you ever want to put your car back to standard. How invasive was the surgery performed in your engine bay ?

Looks interesting but a Paxton beefcake special with a BAP and FIC 1000cc injectors is still cheaper more tried and true option when all said and done..

I've been debating between these two for awhile. Honestly been leaning towards the paxton kit.

Would anything else be needed like opg or clutch for an mt-82? Going with either the 800 hp paxton kit or the ess 6 psi pulley option.

Nothing too noticeable. What I had to cut on the valve cover was maybe 2 inches on the corner. Also keep in mind I have a Bullitt and they really don't have a kit for my car. They sent me part from the GT350 and GT so the fit might be better on the GT.

Not sure what kind of hp the 2015 clutch can handle I know the new ones can hold up to around 800 before they start slipping. OPG I would do if you plan on racing and will be hitting your rev limiter often.

Add me to the list!
Ordered the G2 with the 8 psi pulley and larger intercooler

If you plan on ever upgrading get the 900hp kit instead. Only difference is larger BOV, won't hurt anything and it is much cheaper in the package than later like I did..

Ran my car with a boost gauge connected. Ran it 3 times up to 130mph to be sure, the most I saw was 9psi. Never once went over 10. Not sure what that means. Next test will be track times, but that will be another month or so at least. We're still in covid lockdowns around here and tracks haven't opened yet.

What RPMs did you run it up to? Rpm dependent not speed dependent. Did you do any Dragy times - 60-130?

No dragy times yet. I ran through a couple of gears. Shift points are 7400.

Sweet. So 9 pounds Of boost on a stock engine with a 120mm drive pulley?

Im running the 115mm pulley.

Im running the 115mm pulley.

How's the drivability on the road? Your dyno looked like it had great TQ and HP. Be interesting to see how it runs at the track. How wae your IAT during the hard runs?
Good luck

Are you auto? That may explain the bullit car making 30 more hp. That and the intake

It runs really smooth. Very stock like until you go more than half throttle then it just takes off. I havent seen the IATs go higher than 110.

Yes i have the A10. I have the gt350 manifold and 87mm throttle body that comes on the Bullitt.
