Well I bit the bullet, I think this site is to blame, actually with all the great posts on how much fun it is to own boosted S197 I'll find out for my 05 GT. This will be my winter project as the car is parked till spring. I picked upa base Saleen SC kit, 39lb injectors, 3.6 pulley, maf and intake for self install.

Why Saleen? Really I was stuck on a Whipple ho or Saleen andmy local performance shop got a great deal for me, saved me enough to push me to a Saleen and nice to support my local shop.Fyi, if anyone is looking for a whipple blownperformance had a great price. I tried to get a price from one of site sponsors but the boss never returned my call nor my email, I guess they must have had a lethal failure of their phones and computers?

Cheers!

Looking through the box today, not sure I can leave it till spring I might have to un-mothball the car if the snow stays away for a couple weeks yet and get after it!

hammeron

we wouldn't hold it against you, if
you bolted on the saleen s/c now

there's no way i could wait till spring!

Well not a winter project now, here's how far I got by myself today, 12 hours later I have to wire in the water pump, fill fluids, upload program from dyno shop, double check, put her back together.

Saleen instructions are pretty good not perfect but good, I'm glad I brought the car home some mice had gotten under the hood liner, in the airbox and under the intake, not inside as best I can tell!

PS that back bolt is a you know what!
