You lose your Troyer $200 pully kit if you get a blower. I had to sell mine for around $100, and they were brand new. Good god. What kind of numbers are you putting down with the 4.6, I feel bad for you, thats a lot of money to put into that 4.6 and I've seen loads dumped into those and they're still running 16-17 sec 1/4 mile times.

not sure about the performance gains for the headers. probably pretty good. but if you are installing them I have heard they are a PIA to install. I recomment paying the extra to get them installed unless you dont mind getting pissed.

I have read about 4 or 5 accounts of the headers install. Every single one of them was disappointed with the gains, they almost all felt next to nill as far as gains go. I think one did a dyno and gained 6-9hp at best. I can't remember if I just made that up or read it somewhere, but I'm pretty sure I read it It's a gain but you can get much better for the money. Kickass is right, the install is very involving, you have to lift the engine block on the passenger side to slide it in I've heard as it's incredibly tight on that side.
