Default New ride coming

While its not exactly a TB SS. I have coming to me next week a 2008 Saab 9-7x Aero that I bought from a Saab dealer in MI. The Saab angle is how I convinced the wife to get a TB SS family SUV!

As a result I will soon be putting up for sale my too much money spent on mods, 01 Whipple 3.4 powered Lightning that took 1 year to break in motor because it rarely leaves the garage.

If I do any mods on the Saab, it will have to be stealth ones that the wife will not notice when she is in the vehicle.

Which fans did you get? LS1, corvette, or the spals. I have the LS1's and they do the job. It could be better though, a/c suffers in town a bit. I know a set of spals move a lot of air, but the are pricey. The saab's are hard to find in this area. I bet most people never will realize what your packing under the hood.

I bought the LS1 fans with a PCMforless wiring kit. Good to know about the a/c thanks as it will be the daily driver. I like the idea of people not knowing what hit them. My wife doesn't even know. She thinks it just a Saab w/ a V8. If I told her it was a engine that came in the Vette, she might not have been so receptive!

I love it, and I like it that much more, because you never see them around.

Thanks guys. That's why I like it to. I wish I discovered it earlier.
As far as tune, I'm not sure which way to go yet. I'll probably do a fwi also. I used to using a handheld tuner for ever other car and having the tuner just email me the new tunes. Among the tbss tuners that does seem to popular.
