S/C Installed.

Wow. Saleen S/C is finally installed. Took approx. 12 hours total... though still need to re-install front fascia tomorrow. It was around 25F today in my garage... everything is made by me, except my wife helped me lifting S/C between heads.

Everything works well. I idled my car for 20 minutes (for thermostat to open to see that fluids run ok), no weird sounds or anything alarming... need to datalog tomorrow that everything is ok.

Thanks to Jim III @JDM Engineering.

It was a joke. I guess nobody got it. I was using the terminology from your first post "my wife helped me"...? Beuller, Bueller?

I really should have my coffee before I post.

First impressions... foooooook! This things pulls... and it pulls hard. This Stallion is running on STEROIDS! Unbelievable, how smooth the power delivery is... you can drive it nice around the city or FOOT IT!

JDM knows how to S/C! Though slight tune update needs to be made.

No regrets of any kind. Every Mustang needs to have one, sell your house, rob a bank, just GET it BLOWED!
