Well you're always welcome to come down and have them installed at my work. I've only done coilovers but it looks pretty straight forward. And after doing a truck for SEMA in 2 days it shouldn't be a problem.

for the money .... i'd get a terminator engine or GT500 engine, even the termi engine is good for 850+ rwhp

ENJOY !!
I have called some shops around Arizona and they all said that the gt500 engine won't fit the Saleen blower that I already have. Basically the valley is wider and the blower won't fit. That was my first option too.

I am seriously thinking about the livernois shortblockmotor but just want some personal feedback fromn those that have that setup and any issues they encountered.
So the Saleen blower is stopping ya? uhmmmm i would sell all your engine including the SC or the entire car and start all over againsince you know whats your goal now, cuz the saleen is limited to around 15 psi, why would u want a badass engine that can handle easily 20+ psi if your blower cant? Either way, I would get a V6 stang and mod everything about it, thats what u're going to do in your GT anyway if you get into high PSI or RWHP #´s.... like all engine, trans, fuel delivery, rear end, suspension most likely, pretty much everything.
Or if u just want to stay around 13 psi in the saleen, then just forget everything I just wrote ! lol.

You can always get the built motor, and when it's not enough with the Saleen swap it for a KB.

That's exact;ly what I was thinking. Either way I am keeping the car, I have too much invested in the stereo body kit etc to not get my money back is just not good sense. I am looking at what ford fan boy has I guess, I think he has a 2.6L KB with a livernois setup. I just need a reputable shop that will do quality work with machining the heads and doing the swap and will stand by their work. Again I really want to build a somewhat reliable DD so I am not looking at 18-20PSI boost....yet. 10-12 is plenty for me with the right setup I should still be at 600RWHP with the Saleen.

Plus how can you go back on Saleen after their customer service helped out so much.

Exactly, I have met some pretty cool people in the past 2 weeks that work there. I will always stand by a company that stands by their product, they bent over backwards for me.

Hey Prime PM where you work, I really need/want to get those bags installed sooner than later.

We're finishing up an 08 Superduty right now that we started yesterday. 8 Lug Magazine was here taking pictures of the build. It'll be in the S&B intake booth at SEMA this year. Along with the Mustang in the DBA booth again.
