I did my Saleen install myself, so if you're going to install that one, I can help if you have specific questions.


Weren't you the guy who mentioned in another SC thread how the extra power shredded your 3rd gear and you needed $1600 in tranny-strengthening mods to fix it......?
Yikes........!

I actually only live about 50 minutes away from JDM, but I don't like the idea of having to make frequent "pit stops" there (after first making frequent pit stops at my bank...) in order to patch up my car when I keep seriously abusing the go fast pedal because of the added rush I'd get from having boost......

I thought the only cars that needed ALOT of boost were ricers so they can make 150 horsepower lol

6.5psi and 430rwhp with a Saleen, if I push too much moreit will go boom. Personally I don't see the need for more than 12-14psi ever. At 14psi I would be about 640hp to the tires, if I really needed more power I would just get some spray.Just my opinion.

Are you sure? That seems very optimistic.

That would be one way to say it.
