Yeah, your right it's not lowered. I like how some cars turn out when lowered but it's not the look I'm going for. I like the "old-school" stance she has now. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img] Plus we have killer speed bump's out here.

So you lose traction when stomping it from 65....that's what I like to hear [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img] Tell me does this change your top speed? I would imagine you could get the car to 180+ with that kind of power....

She fired right up on the FIRST TRY!!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img] (I was a little nervous...)
It's been a week of wrenching, waiting and a lot of hard work and it was well worth it! This is my first supercharged Pony and all I can say is WOW... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eek.gif[/img] It is absolutely unbelievable. By Friday all the rest of my parts from JDM arrived and I went right to work finishing her up. The Saleen and C&L intake cleared my hood with no problem but I had a little trouble with the air box as it hit the air outlet on the underside of the hood. I had to do some trimming to make it all work. I spent a lot of time re-routing wires and cleaning up the engine bay and I think it came out well. Now for the fun stuff!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]
Driving impressions:
1. It is like a whole different car, a real night and day difference!!
2. On Idle it has a very distinct and quite loud blower whine sound, that is awesome!!
3. The overall exhaust sounds the same but much more forced and louder. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]
4. On acceleration the whine gets a lot louder and becomes a fighter jet taking off sound when boost hits (I am reaching a full 9 Ibs of boost at WOT)
5. Cruising at 65 mph on the freeway and stomping on the gas results in a complete loss of traction... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]
6. Stomping on the gas in all most any situation results in immediate traction loss... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]
7. Stomping on the gas is fun... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]
I can't say enough good things about Jim Jr. at JDM Engineering. All of their parts are top notch and the customer service and support are the best I have ever dealt with. I probably called Jim a dozen times and he always took the time to answer all my questions and explain how and why things work. If you are thinking about adding a Saleen S/C'er they are the ones to order from as you get a great package and customer service... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]
Now the Number's....
Dyno-Jet Dyno, all Numbers are SAE corrected...
<span style="color:#FF0000">465.8 RWHP / 417 RWTQ </span>
The best part is the torque is 400 and above from about 2,900 RPM's all the way through to 6k and is a very flat line...The A/F is a little high at 13.4 so I will have Jim add a little fuel but all and all I think they did a great job on the tune for the mod's I have. It feel's very solid and well tuned and I have driven on alot of different tunes in the past...The first run I had them stop at 5,800 RPM's because I wanted to start off easy on her and double check everything.

Do you have spacers for those wheels? Or did the yfix that sizing problem they've had with deepdish bullits?
