NEED HELP!!...SC S281
HELLO EVERYONE. IM NEW TO THE MUSTANG V8 WORLD, HOWEVER THAT DID NOT STOP ME FROM PURCHASING MY FIRST PONNY. I PICKED UP MY 1999 SC SALEEN S281 ABOUT A WEEK AGO. ITS COMPLETLY STOCK FROM TOP TO BOTTOM ; ). NOW AFTER DOING A FULL INSPECTION ON THE CAR, SMOG AND REGISTRATION IM READY TO START MODDING IT. IM NOT SURE ON WERE TO START SINCE ITS SUPERCHARGED. SO IM LOOKING FOR THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
NOTE: I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THE COMPRESSION ON THE 99 S281MODELS ARE 9:0:1 WITH 3.55 GEARS BUT IDK HOW MUCH BOOST THESE ARE RUNNING STOCK.

Honestly the best mod is to swap out the blower for a KB. The 2.1 is a perfect combo and smog legal in CA. The series 1 and 2 saleen blowers are very weak and are a waste of time trying to up the boost. All the other mods won't be noticable compared to the blower swap. I had a 1.7 KB before the built motor and 2.6 KB and it was a completely different car even with the little 1.7KB.

Congratulations on your "New" Saleen!
A Kenne Bell is a great recommendation, but the question is where do you want to go and how much coin are you willing to spend to get there?
SimiSaleen has a Kenne Bell and is a great resource here in Southern California. Where are you located?

@SALEEN556: IM DEFINETLY GOING WITH THE KB SC UPGRADE, SINCE THATS PRETTY MUCH WHAT EVERYONE OUT HERE IS SUGGESTING ME TO DO. WHAT IS MY BEST OPTION KB 1.7 OR 2.1 SC? WHATS THE DIFFERENCE IN BOTH? I KNOW THAT I CANT JUST SWAP OUT THE SERIES I AND INSTALL THE KB SC. WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO LOOK FOR TO MAKE THIS SWAP WORK? WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO USE MY SERPENTINE BELT (117")? WHAT SIZE PULLEY SHOULD I GO WITH? SINCE 2.7 IS THE MOST COMMON PULLEY IVE SEEN WITH KB SC.
@JIM.D: THANKS MY MAN. IM MORE THAN HAPPY WITH MY NEW TOY!
BUT MONEY IS REALLY NOT AN ISSUE AS LONG AS IM GETTING MY MONEYS WORTH!
