Default I'm committed to getting blown now!

I ordered my gauges today that will compliment my Saleen twin screw supercharger which will hopefully be installed by the end of May. I'm going to drive down and have Brenspeed do the install and chill in their guest house. They're only like a 2 hour drive from me which is sweet.

I think I'm going for the stage 3 setup while running a stage 2 3.6 pulley, that way I can upgrade easily to more power later on if I want with a simple pulley/tune swap. If I can hit 11's with the 3.6 pulley I will be happy with that.

Anyone know how much they will charge to install the 3 gauges for me as well? I got an Innovate Wideband A/F kit, a 30PSI Boost/vacuum gauge, and a 100PSI electric fuel pressure gauge.

Only thing that I'm wondering about is if I should be considering a clutch upgrade right now as well. Will the stock clutch be slipping a lot you think? My car has 30000 miles. I know it will have to be done eventually regardless.

While at Brenspeed, I will be taking some sweet HD video of their shop and hopefully some of the install & dyno pulls as well. Definitely the results will be captured in HD. Man I can't wait to be blown!

I'd invest in some lca's and relocation brackets if you haven't all ready. I'm sure you can hit 11's with the 3.6 pulley.

Brenspeed has a sweet setup. I wish someone was installing my blower while I chilled in their guest house.

Yeah I will definitely upgrade the LCA's at the least along with some nice fat DR's.

Did you install that Spec clutch along with the whipple or did you try using the stocker for a while? How did it hold out if you did?

What's the vacuum line kit that Brenspeed talks about in their Saleen packages? I haven't seen that product anywhere.

Don't half-*** the suspension or you will regret it. Just do it right while it's there.

In addition to LCA - get a good upper, a panhard bar, and some better shocks back there at the least.

The vacuum line is routed slightly differently than shown in the Saleen installation manual.

I installed my gauges about 6 weeks before the SC went in, so I had committed as well. I had a boost gauge that just never went over zero.
