Nick,

Maybe we should have a chat or meet sometime. I'm also looking at this so maybe they're do a discount for 2 units for the UK! Also i dont know any good fitting places. There's a specialist in Middlesex somewhere that used to do scoobys and evo's tuning!...

I'm hearing a lot of conflicting posts about which kit is best however someone pointed out above there are pros/cons with each kit. I've had a quote allready and the price was $4,500 (very nice on the exchange rate )

Thanks,

TG

I am certainly being attracted to the twin screw - the more I read (and I have read alot as I knew nothing before this so a steep learning curve!) I am leaning towards the Saleen product - Don, like yourself this is my 'daily driver' and so reliability is a huge issue for me, the Saleen seems the best fit as far as I can tell for this car - thats if you are happy with the less HP......

Anyone know of other twin screw type SC's coming out soon?

UKStang - I know nobody in the UK who can do a good install - I will ask around as there has to be someone, I dont care where I have to drive either as long as I get a good job done - what products are you looking at getting??

Other than Whipple and Kenne Bell, I don't know of any others for the '05.

I shoould recieve the Saleen within the next 10 days. Once installed, I will let all know what happens. Simply put, I went with Saleen becouse it gives a little more "Street Power" without too much harm to the motor.

Did you decide on who is going to do your install? Not that I will be lining up right behind you or anything ( something about a lack of $$ ) but hopefully it will be something I can swing by the end of the year.

I will contact you when it arrives for phone numbers of the guys you reccomended. I obviously want to get it running asap! FYI for anyone in the Dallas area, I run a metal shop and we are getting a new laser at the end of this month. I will be able to scan and cut anything you might dream up from any material for free to Mustang Forum subscribers only.

No doubt. VERY generous! (secretly copying tons of pictures from the BRM web site to send to Troden to make! )

Shoot, I will just be happy to get a ride in the beast once the SC is installed
