Ohh I wish I had the funds to take that blower off your hands and make it work!
It's a proven kit. I've just been convinced to go to the turbo world so I'm going to give it a shot.

So, apparently, Ford Racing 1-piece driveshafts are made by Dana Spicer

You didn’t really think Ford made them, right?

Gabe,
How much did the one piece cost?
@Gabe same driveshaft I’m looking at. Any extra vibrations at high-speed.
Got all done & drove car to settle the new Bullitt springs then took ride height measurements to compare.Got my set of 08-09 Bullitt take-off springs today (shout out to Aerofinz!) & have started the process. Took ride height measurements at all 4 corners for baseline prior starting work. Swapped out the rear springs 1st.....measured them & the Bullitt rear springs were indeed 1\4" shorter than my originals (14 1\2" L vs 14 1\4" L) & the Bullitt rear springs upper section is slightly larger in circumference as well as the bottommost coil so should translate to be a little lower but stiffer in the rear. Was feeling good so I pulled both front struts, pulled original springs & measured them against the Bullitt front springs.....the Bullitt front springs were a little taller than my originals (3\16") & were indeed stiffer (could tell when compressing them to install the USM's.....my 1\2" impact had to work harder to run in the spring compressors) so my car's front end may get raised up at least 1\2" or so higher in the end once all settles in. Got the GT500 front bump stops installed on the Koni struts as well. Got dark & cold on me so I shut it down for the night & will get on her in the AM. DS strut is cleaned up & ready to be reinstalled, PS strut needs to be wiped down but is also ready to be reinstalled. These Bullitt springs should round out my suspension upgrades quite nicely so after this the only item left to upgrade is the brakes (going w\ the Ford Performance 07-09 GT500 Brake Upgrade kit).
Once I get done w\ the spring swap I'll be pulling the spark plugs (used Champion 9406 Iridium plugs) for inspection then replace w\ a new set of NGK Iridium IX plugs (on my tuner's recommendation) to top it all off.
...The rear Bullitt springs came out exactly 1\4" (or 6mm) shorter than my originals (as advertised) & the front Bullitt springs came out exactly 1\4" taller (close to the uncompressed height difference I measured while changing them out). These Bullitt spring's spring rates were exactly what these Koni Orange struts\shocks valving were wanting.......drives like a wholly different car now & for the better (all tires now maintain much better contact w\ road surfaces w\ much improved roll rate control but still has some decent OEM ride compliance)...
