Ok, Ill be home from afghan in like 4 days!!! Thank GOD and finally. Anyways, i was wondering, do i need to call brenspeed, or american muscle, and have them email me a tune after i put my hot rod cams in, and gears? or are those parts like plug and play for the most part? I know in my tuner i can set the idle and stuff, but does it make a difference if i put a new tune it, and if i cant get to it right off, can i still drive my car?

 

I know the anticipation of finally getting home and driving and modding your car is killing you. I know I couldn't wait to drive my car when I got back from deployment. Anyway, you will need a tune for the hotrod cams. Either American Muscle or Brenspeed will be able to hook you up. I bought Comp NSR stage 2 cams from brenspeed but my tunes are from American Muscle, as I am a American Muscle/Bama free tunes for life customer.

 

yeah, i will have to email american muscle to get my tunes, i have free ones too, but i have a whole room of stuff to put on, from new GT embrodiered head rest to saleen supercharger lol, so ill email american muscle, they should hook it up. Thanks for that..yeah it has been a long long long year. hahah

 

**** a year! 6-7 mths is bad enough. You must be in the Army.

 

If you are sure you are going to go F/I, why not get cams designed for superchargers? Sure hotrods will work, in fact a friend of mine has them on his car that has a saleen s/c but it may not optimal.

 

yeah you are right, it isnt optimal, and yes i am in the Army, but.....i had already bought the hot rod ones, and honestly when you above 450 on a daily driver, im not worried about really optimal ya know, and i love the way they sound man

 

With that set-up you may want to spend the extra money and get it dyno tuned. My friend with the saleen s/c and hotrods got a dyno tune and was putting down 493 RWHP on a mustang dyno.

 

yeah, the email tune is just to hold me over until i get it to a real dyno, do you know what psi he was at, and what other mods he had?

 

I can ask what PSI he is at but I believe it's 11-12. For mods he has L/T, O/RX, magnapacks and 4.10s. He still needs a stall converter.

 

yeah i am going to be at 10psi, with long tubes, 8 rib conversion, afco heat extractor, JD custom CAI for the saleen, Catted H, Mag exhaust, 3:73 gears, 30lb injectors, Hurst Short throw, Hot Rod Cams, and i think thats about it. I dont know what ill be at on a decently safe tune, but i was told with that set up, should be right under 500, but if your friend is running 11-12 psi, i dont know. I hope so though, cause my goal was 500, but with a safe tune, i am pushing everything i can to get it to there. So, until i build my bottem end. The guy i bought it from was running 16psi and putting down 650wrhp, so i know the Saleen can def. do it. It is just up to me to fork out the dough..and i dont wanna!!!!

 

He was at 493 at the wheel also he has an auto so that takes away a little hp compared to manual. Since you are getting a hurst shifter, you may also want to get a CHE-K member brace with tq limiters. This will make the car fill stiffer and will help tremendously with shifting. I have the same shifter and at the track I would sometimes miss shifts, especially in hot weather. One trip at the track out of 7 runs, I miss shifted 3 or 4 times. Since I added the CHE-K member I haven't miss shifted in over 10 runs. You can get it from brenspeed for $160

 

WELCOME HOME BROTHER !!!!

our son is overseas for 2 years, so we are modding his GT/CS while he is gone.......................

 

Thank you, it feels really good, i am actually out of Afghan now, stuck in another country for 3 days, then ill be back at Fort Lewis, WA. I cant wait...I wish my parents would have modded my car for me haha while i was gone or my wife! But i havent lived down in texas with my parents since i was 18, and that was 8 years ago lol.

 

Thank you for your service d bone!!! The US will welcome you home and especially us here in Washington will be glad to have you home. Sounds like you'll be busy with your car for awhile.
DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER!!!

 

I am so excited to put on all the parts and drive it again after a whole year!
