Threw a Saleen SC on my car!!!!!

RE: Threw a Saleen SC on my car!!!!!
I just finished installing my brenspeed stage one saleen today. I started monday. I averaged about three hours a night for the past five nights. I didnt have a lift or air tools, so I am pretty happy with my progress and result. I am running the canned tune Brent sent me. All I can say is wow ( and it hurts to say it becausemy constant smile has left the muscles in my face sore ). But it also leave we wanting more. Ive felt 470 to the flywheel and it was good so more has got to be better. Congrats man I am feeling your joy.

chadlet- I live south of Ann Arbor.
The problem was not adding too much time to the install. The problem was a week ago they had a car with I think 27,000 miles on it and 2 of the spark plugs broke off. Only Ford dealerships have the tool to get the broke spark plug out, Dave says it takes about 1 1/2 hours per broke plug, the worst part is they have to trailer the car to Fort Wayne and it would add another 1-2 days to the install time. Dave said he couldn't get the tool needed to remove the broke plug. So,being that I could not be without a car I did not want to risk it.
So, that's why Dave suggested that I get the Stage 2 and then have the parts for the Stage 3 shipped to me after I recover from my surgery and have a Ford dealership change the plugs, that was if they break one off, it is there problem! Then, I can just install the new pulley and fuel pump myself. Then Brent said he would email me an updated tune as well.
I think 411 RWHP is pretty good. Dave said anywhere from 380-425 is what they have seen with the stage 2 package, so I am happy to be right around the middle. I am hoping with the Stage 3 I will get 440 RWHP or so. Right now I am getting about 515 flywheel HP.
So, besides new drag radials what other parts should I get for the car? Any more suspension upgrades besides the LCA's? My birthday is coming up so, I need some ideas!
Thanks,
Nick

Congratulations on the blower. The LCA's are fine to start off with. If you don't mind some more drivetrain noise, then an UCA could be added later. Other than that, you're fine.
