I wasn't trying to be harsh. I was stating a fact that you don't have first hand experience with Turbo V8s. I have a problem with people providing false information to other people based on THEORY and not FACT. There is a difference. There are so many variables that impact spool time that it is not worth getting into. Centrifugals are nothing like turbos. I have had both and would know. Turbos work off load and centrifugals work off of engine rpm. As far as the intercooler is concerned, it definitely allows you make more power, run more timing, and run a safer setup. Also the TDC kit comes 100% complete with the exhaust system, Spearco Intercooler, boost controller and a ton of other parts. In all honesty, people with no experience with the 4.6 market should leave the topic alone.
00SlvrSleen,
Since you want a blower, the answer depends on what you plan to do going forward. If you get a Saleen blower, it will be great right up until the time you run into a few centrifugal blown GTs and get beaten badly. I understand that Kenne Bell is coming out with a nice screw type blower for the 4.6 which should be nice. You might want to wait until it comes out.
