Hi again gang:

Anyone here have yet to install a blower on your MM? I'm seriously considering it. Cost is about 5 large. Takes about 3-4 days. (OEM 'puter is overnighted to Vortech for reprogramming...not sure what "ramifications" that poses for any future tune-ups.) Oh, speaking of plugs, they have to be replaced with a colder range. So, has anyone taken the plunge? I hear it's about a 120 HP gain to the flywheel and fuel mileage actually improves! (IF you keep your foot out of it!)

p.s. Wondering how my limited slip differential would handle all that torque in the rain? No traction control available on my early model.

Sarge, nope not kidding.

John, thanks for the pass...

Yep, am a newbie here, but unless my 49 year old eyes have missed something somewhere, I have not read a post from anyone that has actually HAD a MM blower kit installed from an aftermarket shop and daily drives it. Anyone?

p.s. Update on aftermarket shocks: Bilstein says they are at least a year away. Edelbrock says no plans at this time. Koni has not responded to my email at all. FYI.

Yes, you have missed quite a bit, why not try a search on the keyword "mensrea." He's the only owner/operator of a blown MM I know of here. There are some photos of other cars, mostly works in progress, and Reinhart has a project underway too. However, other S/C owners have not spoken up, or, are not members here. Mensrea is your guy, and he's quite helpful. The links I provided are mostly "what if" discussions, but there is a lot of good 411 in there too.
