I don't own an 05 or 06 but a $2K NONREFUNDABLE deposit?? Uhhmm... I would pass, especially since the turn around time is 30-40 days.

Yea, who the heck wants to pay interest on 2K till they ship the thing. Sounds like whipple is short on cash.

TURBO LAAAAAAG! 'nuff said.

Don't like the KB install. I don't like the way it's routed and the fact that you have to cut into the body of the car.
Saleen doesn't provide you with a programmer. You have to send your computer in for a canned tune.
That leaves nobody but Whipple.

Ahh whatever GT Premi... Cutting into the body for the KB not a big deal & does not take away any structural integrity... Easy work with a Dremel & I love the way it's routed. Very clean & orderly looking.
The only bad thing I can say about the KB is that they lock their tune. I want to go get some 4.10's & it's going to cost me $200 just to get it re-tuned so my speedo is correct, that's the big stinker of it... But a lot of people are getting custom tunes that fix this problem anyway.

Well you are going to want to do a dyno tune anyway so who cares if saleen doesnt have a programmer.

New turbo set up have very little or no lag at all anymore, they have changed alot in the last few years

Understandable.. But there is a saying "If you want to play, you got to pay!!"

We sold 3 Kits already today and no one that ordered seemed to mind. It's kind of like putting a deposit on a new vehichle that hasn't been released. You are ensured your place in line.

Let me know if there's anything we can help you with. Thanks, Jared@Lethal

If you get the right people to put your SC in, none of that is a problem. You don't need to send your computer for a canned tune. You get a custom dyno tune that is loaded into an SCT2--you buy your Saleen SC minus the tune and then an SCT2 to go with it. That in itself is a helluva lot more flexible because with the SCT2 you can change some stuff that is not SC related like gear ratio; automatic transmission shift points and firmness, etc.

In fact why not get a custom tune on a dyno after that much modification? A canned tune is going to be conservative anyway.

Now all of this is just my humble opinion, but I have a Saleen SC with a custom tune loaded onto an SCT2 tuner, and I am very happy with the way it runs.

In addtion, there is no way in hell I would up front $2000 that is not refundable for something that has been "going to be here in 2 weeks" for the last 6 months!

I didn't even consider Whipple because they are what we in the electronics business call "vaporware."

However, regardless of which one I picked, it would have gotten a custom tune loaded onto an SCT2 anyway!

JMHO.

Agree. Why would someone want a non-refundable deposit on a kit that at least several hundred enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting? I would think you could sell them as fast as you could manufacture them. What really bothers me is the huge price escalation from what they have been advertising on their website. Combine this with Ford Racing's "Coming Soon" supercharger advertising that appears to be stuck on hold and you have a real recipe for concern, IMHO.

I will personally wait to see some #'s and installs taking place before I place my order. I want to know of any snags in the system before hand.

LOL

I can relate with you there.

My take is, when FORD themselves actually starts marketing them and can get them. And a hundred or so kits get sold and tested without people turning their blocks inside out, I might bite.

Until then, I am sitting on the fence. The kits out there now are nice, but none really seem perfect. Some are close, but they all have their bugs.

I want something that has a little factory support.
