Default SD Concept Engineering (sdce) anyone use them?

Since Dez is booked for the next 2 months or so, i've started looking for othe performanc shops to do my project, assuming i get my heads sometime this year, lol.

Has anyone used SDCE in West Warwick, RI? I know lots of people have used his procharger bracket etc. It seems from talking to him that he does alot of Mustang projects. Any thoughts or experiences would be great.

LOL, I've been told that a few times. Every dealer is having problems getting them. The funny thing is next year everybody will have them in stock but nobody to buy them

Why didn't you order the 225 to start off with? Are you reinstalling the SC on the new motor

good friggin question. I was talked into the ET heads. I just cancelled my order for the ET heads and ordered the AFR's.

I'm not putting this supercharger back on, but, I am eventually putting something on. Probably a F-1C Procharger.

I brought my 94 Z/28 down to them and had them install their spring loaded tensioner on the car. I could have shipped them the parts but I was pretty pissed at the car and they were too close so I had Scott do it.

The job was done on time as quoted and costs were reasonable.

I'd definatly recommend them, now on the other hand put some lighter fluid on the truck and set a match to it before you go to Quest Racing in Worcester as they will pork you hard and take forever to finish it and it will never run right when they are done anyway!

P.S. Hope I don't get banned

Then engine is a 408 built by LME. 9:1cr

i guess i'm gonna run n/a till i can afford to put another blower on. no idea how long that will be because i have NO overtime available anymore. damn it. I'm just waiting for CVS, Walmart, Walgreens or any other pharmacy chain to offer me that $25,000 sign on bonus and it's bye bye Brooks.

Everyone I have spoken to have recommended SDCE's 8-rib tensioner kit. I personally have one waiting to go on. Any boost over 12-14 #'s, the SDCE tensioner is a must. Eliminates belt slip totally. People who have/had the tensioner whom you can ask:

Na$ty-TA - Kyle ran it back when
Frcefed98 - Jeremy ran it back when
Mopar NOS - I bought my kit off Javier
KP - Kevin's running 14#'s, 9.7x ET with it currently

Good luck, definitely worth the money. Call Wendy at SDCE, she'll give you all the info you need.

well, supposedly my ET heads are shipping out to LME by Friday at the latest. Then it's just a matter of assembly, who knows how long that will take, then I'll call SDCE to schedule a time to have it installed. I can't friggin wait.

OR maybe $$$$ to not leave my job? holy ****!!! yup, it's true. game on!!! got that offer today. 2 year retention bonus. Kick ***!!! and the beauty of it is, they want me to work in Durham. Yeah, where UNH is. That's right, where UNH chicks are. OH MY GOD!!! Are they insane? I guess they don't know me very well. lol

At least that bonus after taxes will about half pay off my credit card debt. Taxes suck.
