GOT BLOWN TODAY... thanks to JDM Engineering!
I picked up my car this afternoon from JDM.. teamjdm.com They were great to deal with. I got the Stage 2 kit with the Saleen Fuel system. The install was fast and smooth. I dropped my car off on Wednesday afternoon and picked it up today at 1:00. Jim's customer service skills and attention to detail is second to none. He called me to update me on the status of my install.....they came in on Saturday to dyno tune it for me. I highly recommend them! They even WASHED MY CAR before I picked it up. It got kinda salty from the ride up to them.. The technician took a bunch of pics of the install for me. I'll post them up tomorrow.
The car is a monster! I haven't even been able to really get on it yet because my wife was following me home and the last thing I needed to hear was her whining over the whining of the blower!
The weird thing is normal driveability has not been affected. If I just drive normally, I don't feel any boost......but about 1/3 pedal...the thing just takes off.
I couldn't believe it. I left JDM and was pulling up to a light on route 33. A frickin E39 M5 pulls up next to me!! I felt helpless.....my adrenalin told me to NAIL IT!......but I looked in my rearview and saw my wife shaking her head.......... Oh well....another time. But anyway here are a few pics and dyno run. I have a really "conservative" winter tune for the time being. Jim wanted me to get used to the car before he "turned it up!" I laughed when I heard conservative and 441 RWHP in the same sentence.
HATS OFF TO THE JIM"S for another job well done!

They tuned mine on the dyno. I don't know if they used a base tune and tweaked it.....or started from scratch. It's much easier to dial in a car when it's in front of them. Jim said he could have put me at 475+, but he wants me to bring it back in the spring for that.

Looks awesome dude! Can't wait to see it in person in 2 weeks. Greg wants to see it as well. Now your making me want my supercharger even more now that I see that setup. 
Stupid mortgage and car payment. I need that system in my car!!! After you telling me on the phone how good JDM was with the install, and how good they are, I think thats the system I will eventually go with.

Man I envy you!!!(in a healthy way 
)
Congrats!!!
I had the same Idea, just take he car to the fellas from JDM and get it done, I would have to drive the car over there.
If you dont mind, maybe PM if you prefer, tell me how much it was total, and how safe your whole set up is, what did they told you about life expectancy with 441 hps?
I am a newby with this.
where was JDM located?
man I love that S/C.
did they have to lower your motor?
it looks awesome, and I bet if feels even better!!!!
Enjoy your amazing Mustang!!!

HiRoller, did JDM mention anything about the engine's longevity at 441 rwhp? I'm thinking about going the same S/C route as you, but my car's daily-driven, and I'm concerned about blowing the thing up (the bad "blown")! 
By the way, sweet car!
