Cons
4. Maximum of about 40 HP gain.
I didn't know you had to open the engine if you went turbo. I thought that was just if you wanted to change compression or pistons.
As for constant boost, you can do that with a Turbo too, just set it to spool lower.
But it's your decision.
Good luck.

that 40 horsepower figure was the old SC...this is a new design from what i have read/heard...so it could make more then that...it comes with 6psi and no need to open the engine.
Ford i'm with ya...cant wait for the install!
