Saleen on the way...now who to install
Ok, bought the saleen Supercharger, now who the heck am I going to get to install. Local shop, Coastal Dyno will install for $1200 (YIKES) but to do a dyno tune they are diabolo. so they are a no for the dyno tune....so do i buy an email tune from JDM, that worries me....I am going to check with VMP tuning and see if he will do the install....and dyno tune..hope so...they are 90 miles away hoever, but I hear allot of good things about them....anyways, if anyone knows of an install shop in the tampa area that I can trust to do this install...it would be appreciated...I am going back and forth on whether I will order the new lower motor mounts..and I hope that my C+L (the aluminum one guess thats the street version) cold air intake will still fit....JDM says it will....

Are you getting the BaP or new fuel pumps? If you go with bigger injectors, I'm pretty sure you're going to need some upgrades to the fuel pump to handle the new demands.

i'd get the engine mounts. JDM says they are required, but some say they aren't. For me I'm going to get them because my car is lowered with a 1 piece driveshaft. What does that mean you ask? Well my transmission flange has a 3 degree downward angle and of course I need my pinion flange to have a 3 degree upward angle to match. None of that is a problem, the problem is that the driveshaft slopes downard about 3 degrees and you don't want the U-joints to have a zero degree operating angle 3-3 = 0. I ended up shimming my transmission mount on the crossmember with some washers to give it a 2 degree downward angle and adjusted my pinion angle to match, giving my ujoints a 1 degree continuous operating angle which is recommended, 1/2 to 1 degree angle is what i've read online.
If your car isn't lowered then it's probably not a big deal. I'll probably get the engine mounts so I can remove my shims which aren't the greatest fix.

I took my car 2 hours away to get the install, (can't argue with quality work!).
I am lowered with a 1 piece drive shaft, and I do not have new motor mounts. I also have a C+L and it fits.
I would get new injectors and a BAP.

Well it depends a lot on your lowering kit, plus your a vert so your rear is probably lower than mine anyway. I used the frpp springs. If you have a zero degree continous operating angle on your u-joints it's not going to let you know until they wear out. It won't make any more noise or vibration, they will just wear out prematurely.
I think he meant the C&L might not fit because of the lowered mounts.

My angle is adjusted by my adjustable LCAs...

You don't need a new fuel pump. Just the 39# injectors. Your fuel pump is good for around 460 hp. I installed the lowering mounts in my car and the supercharger and C&L racer intake tube still barely fit under hood. Your car may be different. In my case I needed them. I have JDM's tune and it runs great. I just told them the info they needed to know like if it's an auto etc. My air/fuel ratio with the tune is right in spec.
