Saleen finally done!
Don't have pics yet, but we finally got done installing the supercharger! My brother and I both had to work in between, so it took us a while. Had to use the engine lowering mounts, because it was pushing against the hood. It sure is a different beast now! The tune firmed up the shifts. Now I chirp through almost all gears lol! Little more vibration do to the solid motor mounts, but no biggy. Sounds meaner too! I've never driven a supercharged car before. It drives normally, but once you get beyond 2000 rpm OH BOY!
Can't wait to get it to the track to find out what she does now!

RE: Saleen finally done!
BE CAREFUL!
My dealership told me to not "get on it" for 500 to 1000 miles after the install! They have installed 9 of them and had two come back with damage sue to improper break-in.
I am supposed to get mine back tomorrow, and I know it will be hard, but that's a lot of coin to waste due to improper break-in.
Just trying to help.
Enjoy,
Roy

Install wasn't too bad. Especially since my brother knows what he's doing. I was just there to help lol
Got away with leaving the hood on and we didn't need to remove the front fascia. We just used the existing bolts to mount the intercooler.

Oh, about the break in. Too late lol. I got into it a few times. No problems, but maybe I should take it easy. Couldn't help it, I had a couple different people try and race me.
