What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[csmaan12]

You're fine. I did the same to mine when installing because the needle nose vise grips didn't do their job. I had the same concern and it's been fine for 2k miles.

Thanks for saving me the $70 sir. How do you like the spring, did you try without it at all?

Did not and I would not try it without it. Some do, but I worry about it causing damage/wear down the road.

At first I didn't think there was that much of a difference but, to be honest, that was also a month after I first drove a stick shift...my Mustang. As the week's progressed so did my shifting and now I can honestly join everyone else that said it's a really amazing upgrade! You can feel the engagement significantly better which means much improved shifting/accelerating/performance.

Good luck!

Thanks man! I drove just now about 15 miles to work both highway/city. Feels decently heavy, I don't think it would cause any wear being a hydraulic system but no harm until the spring arrives.

I'll say though it makes it a lot easier to downshift now than before. Same with upshifting, helps prevent accidentally slipping between gears. Glad I did this.

I've been driving mine without a spring since I purchased the car. 20k miles, no issues.

That's pure mainlined badass right there!!!

I'd love to know an out the door cost to make that upgrade including the other parts (and labor) I remember you sharing you upgraded. Also would be curious to see what you get at the dyno.

Congrats!! :cheers:

Car made 663rwhp and 521rwtq on a 79mm pulley and 93 octane.

Blower kit was 6100 after a nice discount, and labor was 2000 which included the OPG and CG. Labor price also included custom tune on the dyno.

All the roush parts I bought have been right around 1000.

So figure right around 9k for everything. Not bad for a 750/800hp car. Lol.

You mention a "nice discount"...how'd you get that and what was starting price?

I'll be honest, I don't know enough about superchargers to know what the numbers mean compared to the price. But it definitely seems to have given the car a significant jump in power!

Thanks

The kit is normally 7200 but with dealer pricing and a sale I got it for 6100.

79mm pulley and custom tune. Smaller the pulley, the more whine you'll get.
