Going in this week as we speak:

-Saleen water pump pulley
-Saleen upgraded heat exchanger (double the cooling capacity of the stock Saleen unit)
-Saleen Extreme inlet pipe
-Steeda cold air filter and shroud
-complete GT500 fuel system

And I'm likely swapping my hood and (what's left of my) shaker for a '07 hood from a donor car. Either a Cervini's hood or a 3d Carbon scoop will come in the spring.

Hoping for 450 rwhp / 450 rwtq, but we'll see.

Alex,
Are you saying your first set of Prothane motor mounts failed you some how?? Or you are just getting the milled down set to lower the engine?

Hey Alex! Where did you get all that cool stuff?


Nice meeting you at Ryan's on SuperBowl Sunday. I wish you had backed me out of the driveway.

Next mod BSM Matte Black LeMans stripes. Scared as heck to do this because I'll probably just get aggravated a few hours into it and just rip 'em off anyway.

Probably, but the torque will make up for it I think.

Great list man! Can I ask why you're doing the 8 rib kit? Seems overkill for that pulley ? No offense or anything, I'm just wondering.

I have Prothane mounts installed currently, and they raised my engine about 1/4". It may still work with the Saleen inlet pipe; if not I'll probably go back to stock motor mounts.

It will be a little bit for me but next on the agenda is either painted calipers, drilled and slotted rotors, driveshaft, or maybe nitrous. If I dont do any of these ill probably just save up until I have money for ported heads and cams.

My next mod is to get my car out of storage and drive it up here to VA Beach, ha! Had to store it while on cruise (sucked). But I'm closing on my house in a week, and I'll have to fly down to P'cola to get it. I really miss it. Or dare I say 'her'?

For me, the GT/CS rear bumper, and a new dyno tune, to see what the power I am pushing out of the car with L/Ts really is.

A 2008 Bullitt steering wheel. My wife is giving it to me for our anniversary (I ordered it). I'll be getting "possession" of it March 17th.
