Default Saleen S/C ?'s

I think I have decided to go with the Saleen from Brenspeed, and would like opinions on that. I would have them install, as they are only 4 hours from my house, and they seem to be the #1 place for installs, and $650 sounds pretty reasonable. I guess I am looking for feebdack on the charger itself, and Brenspeed. Also, take a look at my mods, what stage am I going to need to make 450ish RWHP? Thanks for the opinions in advance!!

Oh, I would also like to know if the Saleen fits under the MWG plenum cover, I have heard that it does, with some minor tweaking. Also, will I be able to use the JLTII with the Saleen, or will I have to switch CAI's?? I would like to keep my underhood the way it looks now, it would be a total sleeper, lol!!

Stan, even if it does cover the blower, why would you want to hide it ? The Saleen is arguably the best looking blower of them all [&:]

excellent choice.

you're gonna want the stage III and most
will probably agree.

i however, would say go stage IV and just run
the 3.2 or 3.4 pulley, until the day you
forge (you might, you never know).

whatever you decide, good luck with the project

Dunno about the plenum cover.

Stage 3 should get you ~450 rwhp.

You might want to think about losing the 4.10's, 1st gear will be all but useless...

Dunno about the JLT, you might have to switch back to the factory tube.

You will be impressed with the saleen blower, I'm waiting on stage 3 very soon...hopefully and am going with 3.73's in the near future too. Be ready to all the time.

Really like your car, my buddy and I spotted the tires on your car and he went out and bought aset, Nittos right? The stage 3 should put you in the 420 to 440 range with no problem. Smaller pulley will give you a bit more. Tell Brent and Dave hi from Phil in Missouri.

Thanks for the props, and yeah, they are Nitto's!!!! Even with the long tube headers/delete plates it will take a Stage III to get to that level??? I was thinking about the stage 4 also, but without the smaller pulley. I want durability over everything else, is the GT500 fuel system really that much better than a BAP?? And even with good DR's and suspension 4.10's will be to much? I would hate to have to buy 3.73's, I mean I still have the stock 3.55's also.
