It's been a long 4 1/2 weeks but my baby is finally back.
A few additions were made such as the Steeda Front Fascia, Saleen HID Lights, Magnaflow Catback Exhaust, and filling in the underhood cutout which was made to fit the Saleen Blower under the Steeda Race Hood.

Looking real nice thump! I dig the color combo. That's the first hood mod I've seen like that on a new stang.

Looks great! Your engine compartment looks amazingly clean - best Saleen install I have seen and certainly can't argue with the results! You have an 8-rib set-up too, right? I like your car a lot.

Not at 10psi with JDM Engineering Stage II and GI Joe 8Rib Kits it doesn't.

My warranty comes form the knowledge that over 400 others are running the same setup without issues.
In the 23 years I've been driving I've never once had an engine or transmission warranty claim.
I ran the car for 18,000miles with over 700 1/4 mile runs before installing the blower.
If there was a defect in it I would have already found it.

Um, my message wasn't a slam man. I was saying yer rig is nice and that the Saleen S/C is one of the best looking out there.

That's cool that you tweaked it and you know what yer doing. I am sure it will be fine.

If I go this route, I won't be doing that though. SOCAL smog and CARB provisions make sure of that.

sweet setup...really like that hood/color combo as well.

but what's up with that wing??

that's the second one i've seen on this board in the last few days and it just ruins a great looking ride...in my lowly opinion anyway
