IT'S ALIVE!!!
It's pouring rain in Georgia so I am stuck in my garage with not much room to work but it was killing me to be so close and not running yet.
I finished up all the Wire Harness modifications, Vacuum and EGR mods, filled the Radiator up with Coolant and loaded the JDM tune.
I turn the key and .... VROOOM ... starts right up and idles perfect. No codes, no crazy noises or smoke and Vacuum Gauge is reading 20 just like it should. After making sure all looked good a couple of taps on the gas peddle adds to boost and my WideBand numbers are looking good. Of course real test will be on the road on a drier day.
All I have left now is to hook up the Heat Exchanger hoses, finish wiring the Water Pump, and fill the Intercooler with Coolant!

Looks great! I love my Saleen Shaker!
Question....are you still using the CDC hood trim ring? My Saleen ring cracked after only a few months and the car sits in the garage 90% of the time. Saleen is "suppose" to warranty it this spring.
