Looking into Getting an X-Charger for my 2010 V6

Anybody out there know how to install an X-Charger?

That's non-intercooled, right? You really want to go that route?

Yeah, from what I've heard the X-Charger is the best route to go for the V6. I just watched a video from Explorer Express where they installed one on a stock V6, put it on the dyno and got over 100 extra horsepower out of it just from the install and tune from Bama.

Not too bad!

I don't how to install this but its very straight forward and with a shop garage and the right tools could probly be done in a afternoon

Yeah, it should only take a few hours for someone with a little know-how. The thing is, finding a shop who won't add 500 bucks on top of what it should cost.....

I did a Kenne Bell 2.1 install on my old GT in my backyard with hand tools and about 12 hours of time, and did the blower swap on my cobra in about 4 hours with hand tools. With a decent set of instructions I could probably lend you a hand, definitely knock it out in a day on the weekend or something...

If I end up deciding to spend the money on it I'll definitely take you up on that! Thanks!

From what I hear, the instructions have lots of detailed pictures, and to the mechanically inclined is pretty easy. I'm not very mechanically inclined

I've been wrenching since I was little, so nothing scares me too bad. Always willing to help another military guy out. I'm a Marine Sergeant stationed up at Meade, so not too far away...

Wooo Coastie here. If you end up spending the money on it we could do no problem, Would be a sweet install too.

Go turbo. But first look into building your motor up to withstand the boost. Or else that motors gonna make a fast exit shipmate. Do it right the first time.

Looks fairly straight forward. What are you looking to pay for an install?

The X-Charger comes with all the upgraded parts needed to SAFELY run. It won't screw anything up.

As long as you don't get greedy and pulley it you should be fine... I ran that 2.1 Kenne Bell on my GT for almost 2 years with no issues.

That depends on who does it I guess. I haven't quoted it out yet but I'm guessing it would range anywhere from 500 to 1000 know the shops around here.

The X-Charger itself with all of the extras needed for the install come to around 4100 bucks. Not cheap!!!
