Cuttin' ? What do you mean "cuttin'"?
With the KB you need to cut the radiator support with a metal saw in order to get the intake tubing relocated behind the front bumper.

Anyway, as asked above, anyone with experience with both?(Centri and Twin srew) Do they feel/respond that much different behind the wheel? That Brenspeed video clip is pretty sick!

Yea...so...this is hardly a reason to write off one of the most, if not the most, efficient S/C kits on the market! JMHO

Believe me, I am well aware of the KB virtues, great power, no clearance issues, canned tune that's dead on, etc. Could I be talked into it, probably, but I prefer to leave the stock intake location, I mean, every other company did it!

BTW, you're putting down some nice numbers. What psi are you running?

The stock 8psi. Anything more and it would require more engine work and higher octane fuel.
I prefer the location of the air intake as it is taking in air directly from outside, rather from the already overheated engine bay. In that aspect I applaud KB for their engineering excellence. Keeps things just that much cooler.

I got the saleen with a 3.6' pulley. 9lbs at full boost. couldn't be happier
however keep in mind that going with a different pulley than the stock one from saleen (4') will require some additional things, like fuel upgrade, new MAF ... parts that can get close to an extra 1k if you don't get it from the beginning.
If you decide to go with saleen, get a kit from one of the sponsors here that have an upgraded setup

LOL I wondered why you would ask that when you have the saleen already but never checked the post dates
