Thanks for everyone's input here I appreciate it. And if you guys want to be blunt with me that's OK - I wore my big boy undies to work today.
Vapour I understand. I have read of people here who had a Saleen end up ruined after crap ended up in the blower from a wrecked engine. I realize it's rare, it's not likely.
Quick question regarding the 2007 GT500. Is that one to stay away from? How big of a deal is the 2nd gear issue?
The Saleen even with a 10# pulley would be safe for your stock engine, the x-factor will be the tuner... you need to go to a reputable place and get it dyno-tuned.
