Isn't Techco the company that was started by ex-saleen (including Steve Saleen) employees after Saleen was bought out?

As for switching from a Saleen to Techco, why didn't you go with the Whipple 3.4?

Probably because he likes brenspeed and they don't sell or service the whipple. He bought his car from brenspeed and has been a customer of theirs for a while now.

looks like a nice unit.. a little pricy though.. hmm.. stock engine.. saleen stage 3 or a techo 7psi?

i'm thinking the techo supporting 700rwhp is about as high as he would need to go anyway..

I went with the techco cause I bought there motor and thought it would be a good idea to run there blower with it. And I loved my saleen I just needed something to produce 700rwhp. And the guys at techco and brenspeed are really great to work with, they actually return phone calls and answer questions unlike other companies I was going to buy a product from. 700rwhp or bust!

Did you get the techo yet? When are you putting it in?

I can't decide whether I want to go again on august 7th for the street legals or wait until september and go on a bracket racing day when it's cool in the morning.

I could list more than one of those shops as well that will never get any more of my business for that very reason!! Too bad some of those shops just don't understand the concept of customer service

So who is doing the install??
