That sounds like the older blower for the 96-98 4.6's. And its a heck of a lot more then $1000. More like $2500 and then another $500 for the install kit. I am not sure what FMS has for the 99+ GT's, but because of the way better heads it should lay down at least 80HP+ and a hell of a lot of torque.
I know you can get the FMS and I think the Saleen installed by a authorized dealer and it should be fine with your warranty.
But if you get any blower installed by anyone else and you have engine or tranny problems, they are going to blame it on the blower and not honor your warranty. But remember, the dealer has to prove whatever aftermarket part you installed directly caused the problem.
