Default thoughts on a 2006 saleen mustang s281 sc

hey everyone,
i am new to this forum and just picked up a 06 saleen s281 sc. i wanted some of your input on what are some good mods for it. im really happy with it but it could always be faster. i was also wondering if anyone has encountered any major problems with theirs.

Congratulations on your new Saleen!

If you are able to attend Fabulous Fords Forever! at Knott's on Sunday, April 21, you can talk with a lot of guys there about mods... pulleys, tunes, etc.

http://www.fabulousfordsforever.org and let me know you're coming so we can keep you posted on other events that weekend.

this may be a stupid question, but how do you tell what # sallen you have? is it the number on the bumper? or is it written somewhere else?

I think you can get a dash plaque ordered if you give Saleen your vin. Pretty sure it's number will be on that. Did it not come with any of it's documents?

The # will be on the engine plaque, dash plaque & bumper. As far as mods, get yourself a tuner & get rid off the Saleen tune. It's pretty conservative. Then you can look at a pulley change.
