Umm dude....stangs havent had front drums for like 30 years.
Awesome car Dustyn...one of those is in my future. Probably a 94-95 Cobra.
my bad, the rotor was so disgusting i didn;t even notice a caliper, could have fooled me

Very nice. Don't take offense to this, but now i know why people throw turbos on v6, and 4 cylinder cars and usually supercharge v8's. The v8 is such a loud and beasty engine that you can't even hear the bov! That engine sounds real nice, and even if you don't hear all turbo, does that really matter when your almost getting 600 horses??? lol very nice stang man. Was going to get a cobra, but i live in Michigan, and i suck at driving in the snow. Good luck with your car!

Doy, I thought everybody knew you don't turbo a V8 because you can't here the BOV.....and that's obviously the reason you turbo a 4 or 6. 
That's probably one of the most ridiculous things ever said, but it sure was funny.

No offense taken but the bov is not going make much noise with no load on the engine. If it stayed closed at idle it would not be working properly. The car will quiet down a lot once I get the tail pipes on the car and some sort of diy wastegate muffler. People throw stupidchargers on v-8's because they are fed by the ad's and just want bolt on power. I picked a turbo kit because it can grow with the engine. All the piping can support well over 850rwhp. Thanks again guys.

very sweet... just one question. shouldn't the BOV be seating fully at idle? seems like you would be losing metered air and that could cause all kinds of problems.

What is wrong with bolting on power?
PS - I just purchased an Eaton M90 BY CHOICE over a turbo. I am very familiar with both the benefits and the disadvantages of both super and turbosupercharging.
Superchargers are not just gimicks and in many cases are preferable to turbochargers.

So you're not gonna be in vacuum at idle? I'm lost, please explain.
