Conclusion: There isn't one - the car is never done!
I now have an issue with the supercharger belt getting chewed on one side. This is due to improper pulley alignment. To replace belt and align pulleys, I have to remove head unit and pulley. So I MIGHT AS WELL put on a smaller pulley for biggger boost. But with bigger boost, I need a new Walbro fuel pump to replace the T-Rex booster pump and stock in-tank unit, a Cartech FMU to replace the Vortech FMU, a set of guages to monitor the whole setup, and I MIGHT AS WELL upgrade my motor mounts and supsension bushings....
UPDATE Dec 2005: Completely resolved my belt shredding issue with a pulley and spacers from 928 motorsports.
What was I thinking? I could have supercharged with this puppy and saved thousands!
How much more horsepower/gas savings can I get?
By enhancing fuel atomization the Turbonator produces increased horsepower and fuel economy. An emissions lab, licensed by the EPA conducted tests on vortex generators that produced results as high as 20 horsepower and 24% increases in mileage. Other independently conducted studies yielded results as high as 35 HP and 31% MPG. Twenty and 35 HP boosts are not typical. Your results with the Turbonator will probably, but not necessarily, be less. Just keep this in mind. A Vortech Supercharger kit for a 2004 Mustang that produces 155 HP boost costs $5,139.95. The Price/Performance ratio is $5,139.95/155HP = $33.16/HP. It costs $33.16 for every one horsepower it produces. All the Turbonator has to give you to beat the Vortech supercharger in terms of it's price/performance ratio is 3 horsepower
