Back in May Steve Turner of 5.0 Mustang and Superfords magazine brought his personal GT500 over to my shop for some mods.
Steve's car already had a TVS blower and some appearance upgrades.
I installed VMP's new stock look 2.65" blower pulley, 90mm replacement idler, and custom tuned the car on my dyno with an SCT X3. We also put it up on the lift and installed an AFCO HE from Jared at Lethal Performance.com

Steve left here with an extra 67RWHP and 74RWTQ from only a pulley swap and tune!
A big thanks goes out to Steve Turner, he is a fellow stang enthusiast and a great guy to work with. I think I'll manage to get him back over here soon for some more TVS upgrades...
