Ever since I've purchased my MM I've been waiting for the day to supercharge my beast,doing alot of research, pro and cons of which kit to purchase,or even a Eaton swap.

My wife knows when I'm up to no good as she can read me like a book!

Since I already have tow other fords that are supercharged it wouldn't take long for the MM to get one.
I have been talking to jerry on/off since january this year and Tallboy has been a great help.
But I remember back when a close friend of mine had a trilogy equiped MM and that was Lidio I remember the sheer grind I had when he would give her!
After talking to lidio I made my decision on the kit and it would be a Trilogy.

Little did I know that all the while My wife has been paying close attention to my research.

So like for the pass months I was telling my wife I'm gonna call Lidio and get a kit: shes goes on to say AAHH wait till spring when our dollar is better then just do it, thats all I've been hearing wait,wait,wait!

So I get home and she has a envlope in the kitchen waiting for me:Naturally I go and open it and it reads happy motoring and I hope you like the Whine that Your MM will have soon!!!! your Triolgy Kit is at Lidio's waiting for you to pick it UP!!

LET ME TELL YA MY MOUTH DROPED!!!!!! SPEACHLESS TO SAY THE LEAST!!!!
All the while over the pass months she's telling me to wait wait wait till spring, She's already has made the deal with my Budd Lidio for a kit for me and was waiting for it to arrive!!

I'm the proud onwer of Triolgy KIT # 216

Lidio hear I come!!!!!!

Wife's been a keeper for over 20 years now, too expensive to look else where...lol.
She's knew when she met me that I was a gear head,so the late nights with the boys out cruisin is just that, she knows the mistress in my life are my cars.

She's pretty cool about it.

Off to see lidio in the next week or so.

Well I picked up the car from lidio's on the weekend and let me tell ya how great the car drives from the trans functions to the WOT perfromance, This Trilogy is way too much fun and the highly engineered kit is one of the cleanest looking under the hood!!

Jerry has really out done himself when it comes to this kit.Well worth the money. Fit and Finish nothing comes close.

Within having it back I already have a couple of kill stories and the other Victims having there mouth drop open as I pull away....= PRICELESS!!!!

I can't forget my man LIDIO either, great job bro!!!

What power did it make?
Well the pump gas tune was 414 rwhp and 433 rwtq SAE:with the stock mass air meter,I think thats where it holding the hp numbers back a bit. I only seen 11.5 psi of boost with a 3.0 pulley so I will be heading back later close to NMRA in june to pick up the rear rims and tires I will then be placing on a SCT ba 2800 and having it retuned, I think the mass air will improve the boost which in turn will increase the HP numbers.

Either way it's a blast where it's at for now.That's what i said with the Stang too.LOL.
