Which S/C do you have? Any other thing you put on the car as far as exhaust should help rasie the HP/torque and really as long as the S/C and tune are correct for the car and she runs well already you should have no problems and no need for any other mods unless you are looking for more out of the S/C. As it stands right now you sound happy with things the way they are and keep up on the maintenance of the car and S/C alike and you should get decent longevity out of the motor and S/C. JMO

I just order the Saleen SC, it has not arrived yet, but from what I have been reading you can't go wrong. Just makesure you go to an experienced tuner even if you get an out of the box tune, you will need to run it on a dyno or at least should.

Got my saleen supercharger for $5200 installed at the irvine speedlab. Love it!! Their motto is true, Power in the hands of a Few. Took a Porsche Carrera S from a roll.

The 2 least expensive quotes I received were from JDM and THR. THR is doing that group buy in, but if you call them you can get a better price, same with JDM. Call them and ask about their unadvertised or summer specials. 5129.99 is the lowest advertised price, I got mine for $4995 with free shipping and no tax (I live in a differnet state),I am sure that you will here that people have found it for cheaper, and some for more. My install and tune is going to run between 900 and 1100 dollars, but I am having them do a few other things to the car while they have it. My goals are somewhat similiar to yours as far as HP goes and driveability, but I do go to the track at least twice a month.

a freind of mine has a computer program....forget what it was called...and it simulated a race with my car based on its current rwhp, torque...tranny setting...car weight etc..and I think it was at 12.35 112mph 1/4.....now I dont know how accurate that was....but like I said I could not give you an accurate quote ..as I never been to a track with it...sorry,,,I can tell you...its fast...and the torque is sweet....changing torque converters this sept...to a Precision industry with a 3000 stall.....that will definitely help as well....TJ
