Extreme Mods

S281 E · 12-28-2006, 03:03 PM

Just wanted to start a thread for all extreme owners. How many of you are planning to mod your extreme? What are you planning on doing? Anyone that doesn't even have an extreme what would you do?

If you're not concerned about keeping it original I'd do a full Griggs suspsnension and K memeber

If you want it to handle even better with a huge differnce in ride qlty, (better) get the PJ watts link

hmm he didn't say what year it was. I assumed it was a SN95 [

I second that. The PJ Saleen Watt's Link setup makes a big difference to the feel of the car - more planted. This is the answer to IRS for the S197 in my opinion.

Mine is a bit older than your S281E and other new ones.

But, early spring I would like to go with an upgraded intercooler and a quarter-inch smaller pulley with a tune. After drivingmine in the summer for any significant amount of time,my intercooler temp goes up to 160....I can't help but thinkhow that's hurting the amount of air getting into the piston's kill zone, so to speak[>:].

Pulley is a no brainer for me, though I haven't researched in detail....I do know a safe tune will need to accompany it.

Also,

SAR will know more about it, but isn't there a new tune that Saleen can do to make the E 600+HP? Better keep up with the 08 Viper and the supercharged Z06!

I am sure SAR wouldknow for sure, but Saleen is supposed to beworking on a couple diffent HP kits for the E cars.

P.S. PJ suspension going on sale soon.

The car is an 06. Had the computer reflashed from Saleen to get the 07 tune. The two kits I am aware of will be a 575hp and 600hp kit. JDM has put together a little kit that pushes the car up to 650hp but don't want to do it yet since it will void the warranty. The kit is $2200 though. How much will the PJ suspension be? What would be better the PJ suspension or full Griggs suspsnension and K memeber? SAR, any plans on putting the PJ suspension on the extremes in the future? SAR, I'm sure Saleen has some prototypes they have been playing with. How much power do you forsee the extreme motor handling?

Well, I have been speaking with one of the experts at JDM and these are the modes he listed out for me:

SCT xcal 2 programmer
JDM cold air kit
C&L intake pipe
JDM motor mounts
SCT 2400 mass air/harness
60# injectors with harnesses
Ford Racing Spark plugs
ATI 6 Rib Crank pulley
Gates Belt
Kooks Long tube headers and X pipe

Should put me around 550 to the wheels. What does everyone think? Good idea?
Never dealt with JDM before, but I have only seen very happy customers.
