Any boosted 5.5 gens?
I was just wondering if anyone has supercharged or turbocharged their 5.5 gen max's. Does anyone make a kit for them yet? I would be interested in doing this sometime in the future, I know this car would absolutely fly with some boost. Any links would be helpful

Damn I'm jealous, any shots of the front mount intercooler? I bet it looks sick. Is this guy on the org? I wonder what size turbo he has and how much boost he is running. I have so many questions for him......

Exactly how is that? Since your engine and tranny are also exposed. Does that mean these items are also going to be short lived?

well my personal belief is that the casings for the engine and tranny were designed and tested for ocassional interaction with the elements. a turbo on the other hand, i have serious doubts that the manufacturers designed them with the intention that it would be exposed to rocks constantly hitting it along with snow, salt, rain, etc......I don't know, to each his own. if someone is confident that this will not be a problem for them, go ahead. i know someone with a pfi kit whose downpipe keeps hitting the ground causing it to be dented pretty bad with just an eibach drop, so this is another factor to consider with the turbo being that low. but like i said to each his own. i can't wait to see a 5.5 boosted though.

I heard it's supposed to be released the week after the pigs flap their wings hard enough to make hell freeze over.

actually from what i remember, it's the snailshell being mounted so low that could make it susceptible to say.. a splash of water during a hard run causing..God forbid..crackage!
