Default Saleen SC plus other mods installed. I love my car.

Saleen Series VI supercharger, 90 mm Lightning MAF, 39 lb injectors, HT0 plugs, KB BAP, Steeda bumpsteer kit, Steeda Castor/Camber plates, FRPP Handling pack, (front and rear sways, springs, struts, and shocks), BMR lower control arms, BMR relocation brackets, BMR panhard bar, BMR panhard support bar, Powerhouse aluminum driveshaft, Saleen HIDs, clear corners with Stealth bulbs, Pro 5.0 shifter, SOS pillar pod, Nexus boost/vac and fuel pressure guage, all with a SCT Xcal2 tuner and a dyno tune. Work done by Dynospeed Racing in Memphis.

I kept the C+L, but lost the aftermarket TB and the heat shield, (I will be fabbing a new one).

The car sounds amazing. The little bit of drone is gone. The SC whine is sublte sometimes, but noticeable at other times. Not so much of a whine as a whooooooo sound. The car is so solid now. Drop the hammer, and it just plants and goes... and goes... so solid, so predictable.

I'm driving a whole new car now... I have to learn her all over again... lucky me!

Sweet.
You have more mods than I do, you must love it.
I know the SC on mine turned my Stang from "I like it" to "I love it".

How do you like the Saleen HIDs??

That was going to be my next mod.

I like the HIDs, I think they look sharp. I love the clear corners and Stealth bulbs.

Do they work better at night though?????

No clearance issues at all on my 06 GT vert hood, or on the firewall with my Saleen SC.

The HIDs work great at night.

The tires are Michellin Pilot Sport PS2 255/40 front and 295/35 rear. They come out to be an inch shorter than stock, so 1/2 inch shorter stance. That was an error on my part when I ordered the tires. I plan to go back to a stock height on the tires next go around. And the way this car squeels the rears, that will probably be tommorrow.
