I know Moosestang is in about the same boat as me as far as what he is looking for, so I float this idea to all, as a what if.

I'm sure Lethal performance can sell you the HO kit with the 8psi pulley. I'm just going to buy the 8psi pulley direct from whipple for $129.
I'm not really worried about blowing my motor. If my motor blew tomorrow I would simply buy my wife a new car and drive hers until I got a new block (which I still have the cash for by the way). This would actually be a good thing since I wouldn't have to hassle with trading her car, but I would be driving a PT cruiser for awhile[:'(]. I agree that it's the down time that is the real pain. I'd like to try and install a new forged block myself someday, but that's something I need to plan in advance, not something I can just do at the spur of the moment.
I don't know your situation, but my car only sees 30 miles round trip to work every day and the occasional cruise to the movies or whatever on my days off. If I had to drive this thing 100 miles a day i'd probably think twice about a SC. I'd probably have bought a different car if I drove that much though.

I probably drive about 70 miles a day to and from work. I also drive to see friends and family alot which are about 1.5-3 hours away.
This is my 2nd mustang and I couldnt see myself in anything else, except maybe a porsche someday.
I love to drive my car but I think it could use like 100 more hp to be a perfect street car for me.
I think the base saleen kit would probably be the best for me, but there are too many negatives with that kit. Hood clearance, fire-wall clearance, Hoses not run right in the directions, need for shop tools, added install complexity.
I wish I lived close to Brenspeed because for $650 I would just let them install it and be done.
I am banning myself from posting S/C questions until I get closer to the time of purchase. I appreciate everyones thought and time.
Moosestang I sent you a PM.
