SGT3131 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Did the install myself (savings of over $7,000) and unlike others I have yet to have any issues, over 11K miles now. Understand my car is not is the reg as SC's however I can live without the headaces others have had and save 7K at the sametime. At the end of the day I just get a lot of satisfaction of doing it myslef and knowing I did it right the 1st time. For those that cannot do it themselves I fully understand having the install complete elsewhere. Kind of like plumbing in the house. I start with one leak and end up with 6 leaks (no joke guys). Therfore I call the plumer for house plumbing. O'h and I taught electronics / avionics at a tech school to make the 6K I needed for the whipple. For sure I will sure dont regret the SC install. Man as you know it is a ball to drive. Take Care Guys, -Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That designation is reserved for those who had Shelby American perform the GT/SC upgrade. Those who did have SA install it wanted the pedigre to follow the car and have documented history of Shelby American doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyburd33 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 some good stories for sure! I'm working on saving for mine right now. Fortunately i have a job that I can save some extra money. I'm waiting on my quote from Tasca and I'm expecting it to be around $15,000 total. I should have all the money together by summer. I am so excited and I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedyburd33 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 haha, that's right! I'm going with the driveshaft, clutch, and forged internals also. I'm really excited to hear back from Dennis and start planning for it seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007_Shelby_GT Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 If the official GT/SC designation is important to you, then save, save, save! If that's not important, then save a lot cash and do it yourself - I highly recommend the Edelbrock E-Force kit! (So easy a caveman can do it!)

jwestercamp Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Dude its America all you have to do is swipe a card. This country forgot about saving money back in the 1970's. Dont worry with the high fuel prices none of us will be driving anywhere so that should save some dough and that should help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
