I prefer the sound of a good Vortec, or Procharger at high boost on an F-body.

Unless of coarse you have an F1 on your F-body like these. Then you can pretty much hear the blower over everything!

Surprisingly there doesn't seem to be too many people with the F1-R on their car. Not at least when compared to the D1SC, or the T-Trim. Therefore, you may have a hard time getting more video (let alone one with a thumpy cam). The two F1 vids I have ever seen, I already posted up.

Intimidation factor?? I would have to say F1 FTW...
Yes I do miss her already but she's in very good hands...we'll have to ask the new owner (Inspector12) which car is more intimidating since he almost finished with his TT SS.
This is a Mustang (loaded) Dyno 10-12% lower RWHP numbers compared to a Dynojet, for those who care, with slipping clutch/tire issues.

Thats an old vid. Still pretty good though. Anyone seen or have a link to the Turbo LT1 convertable that hunts down and spanks a Ford GT?

Screw the sound, my brother owns an 03 Cobra running 454rwhp and 473rwtq...I look forward to smoting him tomorrow after my tune !!! Ya it sounds good but who cares...it's a personal preference and my turbo sounds DAMN good spooling up (haven't actually gone into boost, but still sounds good!!). I'll go into boost tomorrow and I'll love it. That's ALL that matters!

The sound in this vide at exactly 18 seconds, the flutter sound (dont know what else to call it) is the only cool noise a turbo makes in my opinion. This is the best example i could find, but i know theres much better ones on streetfire.
