Your car looks great Alfie. Who did the work? You really need to give us some video now!
I would suggest that you do the blower first and see if you really want the addtional power from a cam.

With the addition of the S/C added to your CAI, headers and a tune, you are going to make 550+ at the wheels and well in to the 600s at the flywheel. That is some serious power. If we haven't already, we are getting close to the need for drive train improvements and mods, i.e., axles, tires, suspension, etc.

I had my Magnacharger installed by Alternative Auto Performance, a S/E Michigan shop that is nationally known for high performance and race Mustangs. That didn't matter to me. I went to them based on their solid reputation for expertise, workmanship and customer service and I wasn't disappointed.

I have a Maggie on my car and I want more power as well. unfortunately I'm stopping where I'm at because I'm worried about how long my A6 tranny is gonna last.
