Yes they are..... not sure I'm sold on the looks yet though. LOL plus knowing Saleen, it will be $$$$$$ for the first year or so.

Yep, pretty much the same feeling here. How it translates into numbers, well won't know until May.

Yep, I think it will look pretty cool- I plan on striping it to match the car. www.stage3motorsports.com has them for like $248 painted and shipped.

Thanks man, you've been a big influence in my decision to make this swap. Like I think you've said, both systems are great and I was very happy with the Vortech/Paxton system but overall I'm glad I made the change.

Its a custom tune by Brent White at Brenspeed. Pretty conservative, nothing radical.

Hey Tom!!

I just stopped by the site to see if the same guys were still around. Looks like you are still having fun with your set up. Any vids of the car?

Justin

Terminator is doing very well! Haven't lost yet.

I have only put $1200 in the car and have over 450/450 at the tires. You just can't beat the power that these cars make with very little mods.

Glad to see that you are doing well and still having fun.

Here are a few pics.

Thanks, and once and a while I miss the looks of the Roush with the Steeda Cowl. I must say that the Roush got more looks!

Can you believe that I didn't even get an offer on the car.

Car looks great Justin! I'd be willing to bet that it sounds killer too...... hard to beat the sound of those blown 32v 4.6s.

thanks Tom. I ran the car last Oct. at the track. The D/A out here is about 2400ft and the car went 12.2 @ 118 mph. So I am very happy.

Problem is I am getting the itch for a Fox Body.... I love the sound of the 5.0 with a great cam and blower. Not too mention the plethera of parts available and simplicity of the engine.

Great time! I have a '92 GT vert that I don't think I'll ever sell..... truth be told I'd love to have a '92 or 93 GT to go along with it.
