I like how it pulls from right around 2500 rpms up to red line, but it will pull differently with those gears. I'd go 3.73s, but that's my personal opinion. Running 8-10 #s you'll be ok with out an intercooler, but it's definitely a suggested item down the road. I paid $3,350 shipped for mine a couple years ago. The only problem I had was the oil feed fitting that is made out of brass. It leaked and I tightened it a little too much and it broke. If you are going with the self lubricating Vortech then you don't need to worry about it. The thing I like about Vortech is they use the same bracketry, so if you want to upgrade later to a t-trim you don't have to change out the bracket just the blower.

On another note get the tuner kit and buy your own fuel pump and injectors. The pump they give you is for return style and ours is a returnless style. It will work, but eventually you'll burn the pump up. I have a Ford GT supercar pump and it works perfect and will supply enought power for what my goals are.

yeah everything he said! peace

8#'s is stock anyway. I know a couple local guys running on stock blocks and working fine. Not saying your wrong, just throwing that out there.
