Im not to interested in changing my exhaust note plus the added extra cost of install and part really isn't worth the 15 added horses. I really like how my car is set up now. I think a driveshaft is on order, plus a new hood sometime. I'd like to then paint the car with silver stripes. Or if my motor takes a **** then a B302 will be going in.

So those r the future plans as oc now. Oh and maybe shocks

I am not sure, but I think it adds more the more boost one is running.. not 100% but thats what I read.

I don't blame you.. it's a costly set up, which would be good as an initial first mod but because of how the install is done it may be more work with all that stuff on there (supercharger).

The driveshaft would do you some good though, especially with all that new found power

outcelj, you're running 10 psi?

I am thinking about the Saleen now as well.. no cams, no other mods (other than a high stall torque converter and driveshaft)

I have JBA shorty headers already, so that's a plus.

I want to either do the 10 psi stage 3 kit or possibly go with the stage 2 and keep it that way for a very very very long time...

I really like the whine of the Saleen and don't want loud exhaust notes to cover it up or a cam to take away from it.

I may end up getting cams still. I REALLY like the lope it makes..

Yea i will tell you this that when I first got the saleen (stage2) you could not hear the whine. But after installing the torque convertor it really brought the whine to life and since adding the stage3 its about the same. Its a fun set up and I get many compliments. Just stinks now i have to wait another 5 months before the track opens and then I have to hope mother nature cooperates.

Im hoping brenspeed will have some nice deals on driveshafts for black friday

Cams won't cover up the whine! Go for it.
