Last final mod - really...
Well the last... (thats what I tell my wife anyway)... major mod is on its way, the Saleen Blower arrives on my door step june 1st - I decided to get it installed at Brads June 5th-7th.

This is worse than waiting for christmas when I was a kid....

JDM engineering is doing the tune - the goal is 450rwhp

I will have to find a reputable dyno in the northend to insure everything is good afterwards..

now if JEGS ever ships those rims I ordered....

I have to figure out what to do with the C&L intake, Predator tuner and Ford racing Strut tower brace..

My wife doesnt like me doing any mods at all

It fails the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor).

"Honey, can I please buy and install a blower - it's only like $80 and some change".

Again Congrat's on the blower...Sell your left over parts right here, on the Marketplace thread. I sold all my left over parts from the Saleen in about 10 hours...

WAF...now that's funny...LOL

As far as last mod.... We have just begun to scatch the surface my friend...

You should be able to use the C&L intake with the Saleen blower. I've seen it done before.

Even though I am dropping the motor 1/2 inch I decided to go with the saleen CAI from JDM engineering. I want to make sure the S/C isnt rubbing against the hood insulation like the C&L does. The C&L rubs against the insulation just enough to leave a slight indentation in it.

My C&L does not rub, sounds like an adjustment is needed.


Enjoy the Blower!

Ah what a crappy day...

Engine hoist got knocked over onto my car and tore the drivers door up pretty bad...and put a ding in the upper crease line of the door. Several long scratches 1/4 inch wide

The s/c install has turned into a fix & repaint the door episode....I feel sick

Sorry to hear it! I hope the rest of the install goes smoothly!
Alright, who tipped the hoist over?

Dude, it sounds like you're having a real bad trip so far.

But it the end, you'll have a kick *** car - so brighten up

Things could be worse - like being the head of Al-Queda in Iraq.
