RE: saleen s/c
first off I would get wider tires and CA's. The car was almost undriveable after I did the extreme 475HP kit and I live in the desert. in the rain I was having to feather the clutch as I would spin 1st and second, no traction at all with the stock 235 BFG's. Are you doing the install or paying someone?

RE: saleen s/c
well first, congrats.....i love the saleen VI and with the
550bhp kit coming out, it's almost a no brainer right now.....
-
second, $. well the kit is gonna cost ~ $5700 - $6200....
if a shop installs, labor = perhaps $800 - $1200
if you install personally, ~ $200 - $300 in tools (unless you have a good collection).
-
lastly, i would not drive it in the snow, period. end of discussion. lol
good luck and we'll keep a table reserved at the boost lounge for ya.

RE: saleen s/c
Love it....mine with install ran me $6000, that included 3.6 pulley and belt upgrade, gauges, gauge pillar, frrp cold plugs, 39lb injectors, saleen extreem intake boot, lightning 90mm maf...custom tune by vmp, ....my install was $800 from real speed racing in clearwater...it is a great s/c and to me a fun thing to have....I try not to drive mine in the rain...it does not like wet roads...but the good thing about a saleen or any twin screw is you could feather the gas and it will stay out of boost....which helps with traction on wet roads...as far as snow...one word..NO.....dont even attempt it....for more reasons besides the saleen ... by the way....welcome to motel Saleen VI.... we'll leave the light on for ya,,,,

Did your installer put in a fuel pump for you. I was running way lean on a conservative tune. The first thing i did was upgraded to the GT500 dual pumps to be safe. $800 extra for that.

RE: saleen s/c
oh I didn't see that you had a 3.6 pulley. that's why you are still good. I was in the low 12's with the tune and 3.4. Now that I have the pump I am going crazy and added headers, and am looking at going to a 3.0 now that I have margins.
