Depends more on how much 500 means to you. If you can save it up for "spending cash" within 1-2 months then yes id say do it. But if its somthing thats gonna take you 6 months to save, then (well id say still do it, but hell, thats because its one of the cheapest mods you can do to get some decent hp) I believe one of the intakes is used and recommended for the saleen S/C's so you may want to pick up that intake, and figure the most your going to "waste" is about $100 for the custom tune, since your going to need a tuner anyways.

If you are concerned about throwing away money, buy used. There are always guys on eBay or in the classified section of this forum selling perfectly good CAIs and Tuners because they are moving up to a SC. You can really get them for a steal sometimes. Just make sure the Tuner is unlocked. Of course you would then need to purchase a Tune but still you'd probably save a couple hundred bucks. Three to 4 years is a long time to wait using the stock system, CAI and Tune are the number one mods for a reason.

I would agree with buying used or just searching for a good deal. it all depends on if you want to play now and can afford it. I'd be the wrong person to ask as I'm pretty impatient. Even if you get a CAI that you can't use later you can always sell it and get some of your money back.

I would do it now as 3 or 4 yrs is quite aways down the road. Depending on what intake you go with the tuner is at least half the cost of the package and will be re-used when you get the supercharger. I say go for it and enjoy!
