I prefer the low-end torque advantage of the twin screw design, plus the high-end power capabilites at a relatively low boost level. I am sold on the ability to get 425-450rwhp and >400rwtq, with just 5 to 6psi boost. Nice, safe low boost levels for a daily driver... and great power and torque for a weekend track warrior!

Did you also order 39 lb injectors and a 90 MM Lightening MAF? You will need that along with a smaller pulley to make that kind of power with the Saleen. I have been researching superchargers I am leaning towards the Vortech non-intercooled.

Also, are you manual guys that are boosted upgrading the clutch????

I haven't ordered anything - yet... that was Farley.

But when I do, yes, I will get the 39# injectors and a 90mm MAF. I am following JDM as they do their on-going R&D with fuel issues as well.

Yup that's typical. My local Ford dealer quoted me $5k, $7900 installed. The install price seemed steep, but they'll still honor the car's factory warranty if they do the install.

To keep on topic, congratulations Farley and have fun.

Go with street scene for sure. I wanted Saleen first too, but this just knocks the door off the S.

Congrats on the Saleen blower. Let us know how the low-end torque effects traction.
