How to install a centrifugal supercharger in a 96-97 4.6L Thunderbird, part 4 (last parts & startup)

Part 4 of a series from BadShoe Productions on installing a centrifugal supercharger in a 96-97 4.6L Thunderbird. This part shows installing the relocated MAF sensor/air filter, newly modified coil bracket, all hot and cold air tubes. Also final parts assembly, tightening all clamps and bolts, adding coolant and starting the engine. Although I had trouble installing the drive belt in part 3, I found an easier method and it's detailed in this video. Although this kit is not intercooled, an air to air intercooler upgrade might be preformed later. Stay tuned for more videos from BadShoe Production.
Update; People have been asking what ET my Vortech TBird project produced. I broke four pistons right off before even running at the strip. I believe I set too much timing at the beginning of the boost buildup. So, I put in a spare short block and this time with a very conservative tune. Today, I ran one run at VMP at 12.87, 105.99 mph. I shredded the drive belt which ended the day but that is fixable. The last time I race it (on motor), it went 14.70 at 94 mph. I was pleasantly surprised.
