Saleen Install on my 06GT
I purchased a NIB Saleen 475hp kit from a guy on the forums. Pretty good deal and finally got it all installed. I am an aircraft mechanic so I am pretty comfortable working on most anything. The install was very straight forward. The only real hickup was that my inter-cooler coolant pump did not turn on. Well after checking for power I realized that wiring 101 you always make sure you have a good ground. Turns out my ground to the frame was painted better than it looked and there was no contact. Easy fix.
I also installed the Air Oil separator. I still need to paint the bracket I made for that.
I figured this should be a pretty safe setup for the stock bottom end. Later I will probably work over the bottom end, but for now it should be more fun.
Other mods: Hurst Billet Shifter, Steeda Ultralight springs, BMR adj panhard bar, Shelby polished grill, and a GT500 spoiler.
Ah also need to wash and detail the engine bay BAD. Now I just need to find some other Stang guys here in Atlanta to hang out with.

Where ya at Eric. Me & a few others are just North of Woodstock, GA and get together pretty much every weekend to do something. This weekend I'll be going out of town, but on Sat, 18-Oct, there's going to be a cruise-in (last one this season) right around the corner that I know we'll all be going to.
