This is coming standard on the 08 extreme. Just give Jim a call. He is an honest fellow and can tell you how much of a gain to expect.

What about in terms of stability and linear throttle movement?

I recently installed the JDM stage 2 kit on my SC convertible. So far, it seems very stable, but it takes some getting used to. With the JDM tune, its a completely different driving experience. Stock the SC wouldnt spin up until 3-4k RPM. With the JDM setup, the SC engages when I hit second gear, and keeps pulling until you let off of the accelerator some. Drivability is good once you get used to the big change in the superchargers powerband. Im not sure what you mean by 'linear throttle movement'. I do have some issues with performance when the car is cold. I'm getting some stuttering until the car warms up some. Also, if you have an aftermarket throttlebody, you may have problems with this setup. I had a BBK TB and it caused big problems until I switched back to the stock TB.

Hope that helps.

I have the Saleen Extreme intake and it seems to work very nice. The car is very street friendly and it runs very strong when you put your foot down.

Where did you get the CAI from? I'm looking for the newer one like this one, but I already have a sct tuner.

Hey Mike,
It's Jorge, I just did this install for one of JDM's customers and they emailed me the tune for the SCT. It ran like a raped ape !

Great to see you are still tunin'....

One of my main concerns would be that I already have a 98mm maf, and the saleen hard tube appears to be 95mm?

Can you staighten me out on this Jorge?

I have no prob downloading a new tune, I was hesitant to switch after
researching what little info is out there....next step was to call JDM.
