i'm at 525 rwhp at 6200rpm. procharger at 12-13 psi boost. very happy with the equipment. only advice is to make sure the folks installing it know what the h#ll they are doing. I've had lot's of problems after the install. again, I thinks it's with the quality of the install and not with the equipment itself.
regarding the warranty, the chances of a drive train busting on a stock GT are pretty slim. if you wait until the warranty expires until you s/c, and the drive train breaks, then you are in the same spot as if you s/c it right now.
something to think about.

I got a Saleen SC installed in the last 3 weeks. I love it. It also only uses 4psi boost and I am dynoing 373HP at the wheels now.
It goes like a bat outta hell when you punch it. Otherwise, it drives normal if you're easy on the go pedal!
I posted a poll way back and asked which SC I should get. The answer: Saleen by several votes.
Whoever does the install is critical as well. I recommend coming to Lewisville TX and get HPP to do the install and tune. They do damn good work!
Hope this helps.

Yep, you have! Lord do I love the way this thing is running when it goes!
I gotta give Manny a call. I don't think they re-gapped my existing plugs. I got some serious mis-fire today at WOT! I was thinking WTF, then I remembered the gap on those plugs needed to be 0.030" and since they didn't install my colder plugs, I bet they forgot to re-gap the old ones!
I discovered this little problem when I was out testing my new forced cold air to the CAI system!

RE: 05/06 GT Supercharged
When y'all took your GTs in for supercharger install by the dealership was it the same dealer you had bought the car from? Is it mandatory that it is? It sounds like a good idea to have it dealer installed but I now live across the country from where I bought it. Also, are the dealers much more expensive than a regular shop? Or are the parts about the same price as anywhere?? Thanks for the insight.

I had the Saleen SC installed by High Powered Performance (HPP) in Lewisville, TX--they know their chit! The Saleen SC unit I got cost $5100 from HPP.
Hope this helps.

.Actually, I probably need to have my tune adjusted to accomodate this new crappy gas we are being forced to use. But...on the bright side, since the 90/10 implementation, I don't seem to get P0172 and P0175 codes anymore.

A freind on a local forum just put his Roush with a Vortech and put down 448 rwhp and 429 ft/lbs at a local speed shop for "Dyno Days"The shop owner installed the Vortech.His is holding back about going over 500 hp because he had a 3-valve at 530hp throw a rod right out the block
