I ordered the 3.4" pulley. Beefcake said my Boss should be putting down around 670 with that setup. I still need to work out the tune with the tuner though. No sure if I'll be able to do 91 octane or if I'll have to Torco it up to 105. Either way works for me.

You'll never hit 105 octane with Torco. I used to mix 32oz of Torco with 5 gallons of 93 and after having it tested several times the most I ever got out of that mixture was 100. Which I was told was the max I could get out of it.
I think it takes 2 bottles for 10 gallons. Torco has a mixing chart on their website for 91 and 93 for different octanes
Edit: I just went and checked the chart for 93 octane. If the chart was right, your mixture should've been off the charts. Hmm maybe I'll have to check into it. Thanks for the heads up!

I know what Torco's charts say but they are wrong. With 25+ lbs of boost on my previous car (Whippled Mach 1) and not wanting to run race gas I got heavily involved as did my tuner in Torco. Through extensive testing we could only get 99-100 octane, tops. Do a search on Modular Fords and others came to the same conclusion. Still I became a heavy believer in Torco.
Yeah that would be pretty bad for me to have a tune for 105, thinking I'm running on 105 but really be at 98 or so. Maybe I'll just have them give me a conservative tune for premium pump gas and order a drum of race gas for track days.
the initial lund tune will be conservative,
you'll be very happy with the setup,, hands down the best bang for the buck!!!

Under no circumstance should you open the preassembled bracket. What a pain! I had no choice because the original vortech bracketry was faulty.
You won't be disappointed at all. Especially when some coyote with a roots type pulls up and you pull on him (and he's spent quite a bit more).

I didn't have to open mine but I had to move a pulley to a different spot as they assembled it incorrectly.

My belt was routed incorrectly so I took mine apart. I found out the hard way the spacers are different sizes.

Honest question:
If I want to put a blower on a car meant for the street (and not track), where drivability and torque matter more, what are the pros of the Paxton over a twin screw such as the Roush TVS?
Other than the fact I won't have to grind the timing cover . . .

The only benefits IMO would be cost and no grinding.
.. the grinding is not bad at all.
The PD cars will make more power and torque throughout the curve. The peaks are held back from both types of blower based on the rest of the engine's internals so that's essentially a wash. You also don't need a converter with a PD blower if you're an auto where as the Centri style benefits greatly from one.

Does anyone know if there is a write up out there on the install on a '13? I don't know how different it will be cutting on the different front valence but I want to be as prepared as I can be for the install. Thanks in advance guys!

We just slapped one on our 2013 SEMA car

looks good with the carbon pieces
Ok thanks man! I just wasn't sure if there was more/less cutting.
Wow, that thing is sharp!
Couldn't help but notice that grill... I think one of those is in my near future.

Beefcake what do u think is the optimal gear for a auto Paxton car meant to drag on a circle d 3600 stall..is 3.73 to much ..
i am running a 3.55 with a 30" tall tire
if you have a 3.15 in the car, i would leave it for now and see how it does.
these seem to do well on the stock gear
i ran 10.8's outta the gate without a torque converter
