I s/c'ed my mustang at around 40k miles, I just rolled over 62k and still no problems. I did replace the clutch last fall, although it still had plenty life left (the TOB went out, so instead of just buying a TOB and closing it back up I replaced the clutch at the same time so I didn't have to do it later down the road)

I am buying a bike tomorrow! What kind of bike did you sell?

Anything about used kits I should look for? Or should I just get it new? Ive seen some used kits on here go for like 2k but then again I don't know how reliable they could be.. lol

Do it and don't look back. I love mine and get complements almost every day on how the car sounds. It really turns heads. I picked up my blower used for $800 and pieced the rest of the kit together as I got money. The blower had 5000 miles on it and I have put another 12,000 on it so far with no issues. Just make sure there isn't any shaft play or noise. Overall I am very happy with mine, but now I want more power which is the problem.

Thats a pretty handy link, I just bought all the parts now and ill keep an eye out for a head unit in the mean time. As far as a tuner goes should I just buy an unlocked one and they can put in my 3.73s and O/R Pipe into the tune as they do the SC at the same time? I got all on this year and over winter to install this puppy then get it to a dyno tune next spring.

Yes no need for a new tuner a used unlocked one will do the same thing. And diablo and sct has an option to change the rear end gear ratio. my old diablo had an option to turn off my rear o2's but i dont think my sct does but the tuner turned them off when he dyno tuned my car with it anyway even though I have hi flow cats in place. Locate the shop that is gonna tune your car and find out if they use diablo or sct and choose you handheld tuner from there.
