Ponies on The Run (Again)
I know you've been doing your homework, so the big questions..
Which SC are you going with?
Who will do the install?
If the Whipple, have you considered running the FRPP tune (can save you a considerable amount of $$$)?
What gauges are you planning on running?

Nice Brian! I hope it all goes as planned for you.
I know you've been doing your homework, so the big questions..

Install = Me
I'll run the stock tune and not press it, ala Tom, and shortly afterwards take it to GTR, RET, ST... somebody and have it Dyno tuned as well as gauges installed so that I can keep track of the system. The gauges are the main reason but afterwards I know I'll want to get it dyno'd. If I can get 425-430 at the wheels I'll be very happy. Even with the stock tune this should be a goal I can surpass, with a dyno tune ????
Of course included in this is it will make my car a Garage Queen I'll get some beat-up POS to flogg to work and running around on the weekends. Primary reasoning... longevity. If I'm not beating the car every day, with a blower how could I not, it'll be a little less likely to ventilate the block.
whew.... sorry for the War & Peace.

Don't know about Bill but I've always used 5-20
Jeez I used to use 20-50 in my 429, the times have changed.
I like the Whipple HO too, but does that system use that tank where you have to put ice or seperate coolant in it?
If ice, that my sway me away from it.
My other cosideration (for ease of the shaker scoop adaptability) would be the Saleen system. This system put out about the same power while utilizing the shaker throttle body mounting points.
When it's my turn, I'm considering getting it installed.. if the price is right.
If I get it installed, any install and tune issues are their problem.
I know I can do it, but I hate running into problems of this complexity. My switch panel was enough stress!!

Interesting point bill....I'm saving up now for the shaker hood and already looking into the future (way deep into the future) for a blower.
What have you found so far to look/work best with a shaker?
by the way....thanks to you... I have the mod bug

Bill, just FYI using the CDC shaker with the Saleen blower is basically impossible unless you lower the motor about 2" or fabricate a completely new shroud for the scoop to sit on. The mounting point at the throttle body is the same, but the Saleen sits much higher compared to the factory intake- and there is not enough room between it and the hood.

In preparation...
I like how you guys are getting mentally ready for your blower. I did the same thing; thinking about it thinking about it. Then the next step before buying it I purchased little things like the gauges, the pod an aluminum radiator. Your well on your way to blowerisum after that!
I can safely say that once you get it your going to wonder why you took so long to do it.

2 things I didn't personally install on my car... the gears and window tint, and maybe the blower!
I know the centri's a perfect match, but I'm looking to mount that massive chunk of aluminum on top of my manifold.
Sorry you caught the bug Luis. This rare bug is known to drain your savings and plummet you into debt.

I was hoping the JDM Prothanes (-0.5") would do the trick with the Saleen blower.. Ughh!
What to do..

You SOB! I was just about to do that.
Brian-Hope your S/C dreams pan out sooner rather than later.
Jed-Awesome find on the filters.
As for me I think a S/C will probably never happen. By the time I get the money the car will have to many miles IMO. As it stands now I think it has to many. Maybe my next stang.
