07SGT4578 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 ...............still no car, but we at the Bash anyway. Hopefully the car will be done when we get back home. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_GT350 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Same here, Tasca had mine done in 10days, no issues. Not sure what would cause it to take this long. I like the fact Tasca includes a Dyno run before you leave as well, it gives you peice of mind that all is well. Dennis was great to deal with. No dyno run anymore. They get the tune direct from Ford now no need to tune it or check it on the dyno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springer Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I feel your pain Chris. Three 1/2 months for mine. I'll be leaving Thursday to pick it up in Vegas. Hopefully it won't be "staying in Vegas" much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springer Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I feel your pain Chris. Three 1/2 months for mine. I'll be leaving Thursday to pick it up in Vegas. Hopefully it won't be "staying in Vegas" much longer. Well, due to the weather, the car is still in Vegas, but it is done. It will be shipped back this week. It was raining so much Thursday when I was there, I didn't even get to drive it. But the engine, the FRPP Hot Rod 4.6L sounds like no other 4.6L. It is the only GT/SC with that engine installed by SAI. Chris, you could have yours back before me. Good luck. On a personal note, Roger Sorel and Gary Davis were very, very helpful with the conversion of my car to the GT/SC package and the installation of the 4.6L Hot Rod engine. It dynoed twice, once at 525 RWHP and the other time at 497. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Rodgers Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 No dyno run anymore. They get the tune direct from Ford now no need to tune it or check it on the dyno. I would still want a Dyno run, a few of us had issues after the install that a Dyno Run would have picked up. I personally had no issues, but I have read a few, one from SAI I think they had to ship the car back. Just my 2 cents Not to mention it is great to see on paper what the results were.

springer Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 The word I received was that there were approximately 100 SGT's that have been 'charged by SAI - to include Quantum and Tasca. Has anyone else out there heard any numbers on how many SGT's have been converted to GT/SC's by SAI and the authorized mod shops. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SGT/SC #1200 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I recently purchased 08SGT/SC #1200 from a very polite fellow in McMinnville Oregon. I was ecstatic to receive this car after having it shipped cross-country to my Pittsburgh home in November, and even more pleased knowing it was one of the 108 or so supercharged at SAI, this one at the Las Vegas location. The 108 number provided to a fellow owner / friend of mine who spoke with Roger Sorel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08SGT/SC #1200 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 It's the Ford Racing Whipple for 550 hp... and I'm in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. Driven through the Blue Mountain area many many times. I like the throttle response of the Whipple blower. I have a 1989 GT pushing 636 rwhp through a centrifugal blower, and am thrilled with that. This is my first experience with a whipple though, and can't wait to put the Shelby through it's paces a little and get a better feel for it. Few months to go yet!

William Rodgers Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Very Nice, I absolutely love this car, you will as well. I am looking forward to getting my Kicker System installed. At some point I will get the upgraded interior as well, I have a hard time passing up any mod for my car. It all started the day I met Roger and Adam, great cars they have.
