Soon... I'm eyeing Brenspeed's series 4 package right now. Can't decide between that or their hellion kit.

800 for the whole S/C installation which according to the manual the use takes 12 hours? That's cheap man! I was thinking 12-13 bills at least.

They charged me 8 hours labor @ $100/hr.
They do TONS of cars though, I went over and checked it out a day after I had dropped it off, and it looked like everything was installed and they were just waiting for the PCM to come back from Saleen.

My 3 year old son thinks its a car show every time we go to Galpin Autosports because they usually have about 10 really cool looking custom Mustangs being shown off in the front of the building + Fusions and F150s. They've got a pretty cool showroom inside as well that he loves to wander and look through. They do Aston Martins, Jags, and all sorts of vehicles there too.

Pretty neat place, and even given their "Pimp My Ride" association have some really nice and friendly people.

Sweet! You will have a smile plastered on your face. I went the Saleen route because the car is brand new (3 months/3000 miles) and there is enough on the warrantee left to make the drivetrain warrantee worth something to me. Plus everything looks and feels very OEM (I guess that makes sense, since it IS OEM on the S281 SC). But if you want to make TONS of power, and for cheaper then you have lots of options of course.

That Hellion Turbo package on Brenspeed's site looks pretty sweet .

Best of luck!

They charged me $800 for install. A bit pricey compared to what some are paying, but they were convenient and they do quality work. They are also a Saleen dealership, so I can have warrantee related work done there.

I'm pretty happy with it... so far . I'll let you guys know if that changes to a [:@]
Thanks for the install info. I think 800 is quite reasonable for a dealer. Brent does it for 650, but that's with buying the kit from him. Did you buy the blower from GAS as well, or elsewhere? I am definately looking at one of Brents kits for year end bonus time....

Thanks for the info,
Mike
