Thanks for the reply dkersten. Yeah my overall solution on a very hot day is to simply not drive the car hard. I'm running 93 octane on a 91 tune that is rich to begin with, and seemingly well written from Brenspeed. I'm not sure I could have a safer tune setup in general than what I have now. With a 140 degree IAT, I'm sure I lose a good 30-40rwhp, but then again I've only ever seen it quite that high once with a 100 degree sunny day. It is usually in the 95-115 degree range. I never beat on the car anyway, so all of this is moot really.

I may added the aftercooler at some point, but its doubtful right now. Chances are I will sell the car next summer, so I may leave that to the next owner...

 

Guys, I have an offer on an edelbrock e-force kit #1580 new at 5100 shipped. Is this a good price? It is supposed to be a full and complete brand new kit. Alternative I can get saleen stage 3 at 5470 shipped. What do you recommend? Urgently please.

 

Self intall I would go with a TS like whipple, saleen or Kb

 

does that edlebrock kit come with the intercooler??

 

Yes it is IC. both sallen and edelbrock are.

 

who is giving you these prices?? both look pretty dang good, better than I have seen actually, if you get an intercooled SC kit thats a non centri that puts 410-425 to the tires for under $5500 bucks that is doing better than most

 

unless you were dead set on a techo or edelbrock i wouldnt buy an SC new. there are some very good deals on used SCs just got to be patient and shop around.

 

You can't go wrong with either kit, but that EB pricing is awesome as it is about $600 less than the normal price and I would jump on it in a heartbeat!!

 

If I was you, I would get the saleen s/c for an extra hundred bucks. I know there are plenty of good write ups on the installs and MANY people who actually have them and can help you out with any issues. Edelbrock seems nice, but I know people didn’t get the results that were advertised. Saleen FTW

 

I would say the Saleen or wait and try to find a used S/C.
