RE: Saleen Blower ?
The tune on the new S281sc's is pretty conservative. It's probably just running a little rich in 3rd. One way to change the tune effectivly is to put a slightly smaller pulley on the blower. Maybe only .05 to .1 inches smaller. It would (slightly)help the car's performance without any tuning headaches.

I think a lot of the problems after seeing what is involved in the Roush install is people screw around with the install as per the roush says not cai in their kit they supply everything to build the air kit. Why would some one us underdrive pulleyon s/c system. I had a k&n filter on mine and xcal2 tuner and it is comming off with the install. too many people out there think they know what they are doing and they don't I have sent my pcm for flashing and i have more trust in Roush engineers then some of these so called tuner experts. ( my rant of the day)

Birdieman I already have the JDM program with the smaller pulley. The problem is better but the car is still flat in 3rd. Maybe a 50 shot would fix the problem. The car is quick on a downshift to third but shifting from 2-3 it feels like a stocker.

I couldn't figure out how to check the oil level. It sounds like to me that the wastegate is fluttering. I put the smaller pulley on last night an didn't have time to change the belt. I think it was slipping . I changed to the smaller belt tonight but I'm still getting the sound. More so when its cold. The JDM program is a 100% improvement but the car is still weak at the 2-3 shift do you think gears will solve this problem.

When your car gets spanked at the track by n/a cars, you'll quickly know why you need a 'custom' tune. And take a look at Roush's performance on their own s/c car and tell me again why you would want their tune?

Try a PM to 'SMP' I'm pretty sure he dealt with a similiar problem.

Hahaha +1
I think that SMP is using the Diablo for his tuner and his car is manual. If Hubcity is using JDM he has an Xcal2. Since your car is an automatic then send your PM to MSgt46270 he has an automatic with an Xcal2 and was using the JDM tune.

Big talk stepup from your list of mods all show and no go. Cat back, back is right way the hell back lol. I'll get the tune right and show you a number. The track is opening this weekend maybe you could make the trip over to MS and you and I get next to each other. I think you guys are right it does feel like timing. Although the charger doesn't feel like its pulling like it should in 3rd it almost feels like the wastegate is opening and closing. Could timing cause this? I also think the noise I'm hearing has somithing to do with the wastegate.
