I had my kit installed by Brenspeed and I'm from Maryland. It will probably be a good 10-11 hr drive for you. They now offer hotel stay during your installation so that is good. Highly recommend if you can...great experience.

How long did it take you to drive it there? I have bought a few things from them are you are exactly right, awesome customer service. I want to get my SC installed there but I live in NJ.
Brenspeed's great, but JDM's like 50 miles from you.

Someone said your better with 4:10 gears for red light to red light here? But really tell me the difference between a supercharged vehicle to a standard vehicle? No hammers please. How much quicker to 0 to 60 times and quarter mile times. Obviously I don't know.

if I am reading this correctly you are asking that red light to red light a somewhat stock mustang with 4.10 gears is better than a supercharged mustang. I can tell you I have personally run a couple stags with CAI and 4:10 red light to red light and my car won every time without an issue with one exception when I could not get any traction when the road was wet. that time it was a tie.....the biggest challenge I have is traction....not enough of it..I have learned to pedal my car so to avoid total *** sideways traction breaking spinning.I am currently trying my best to resolve that but being that I am not a "DRAG RACER" per say, I am not investing $1,000's into the cause....I will not pretend to be an expert and say that the right geared car will not feel as fast as a supercharged car. The old saying was a good set of gears is the poor mans supercharger and the way a car responds to new gears over stock 3.31 gears I am sure it definitely feels like it. However after driving my buddies 06 gt with 4:10 then getting back in my car..it is defeinitely a feeling that is quickly changed...IMO, a supercharged car with 416lbs of torque feels different than just the gear change. However, that being said, the gear changecar almost seemed snappier and part of that I attribute to the fact that my car is sittng there spinning without traction at a rate to tear off the tires..whereas my buddies car seemed to grab quicker....that can be just he had a few more dollars invested in his suspension than I. thats changing for me now...sorry about the 0-60 times and quarter time differences...never been to a track so I cant tell ya..I can tell you red light to red light though....(Trident gum statement here) 4 out of 5 racers prefer superchargers over the leading gears...heck....one up it and do both....talk about traction loss...LOL...
