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 [:o]

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!

Chuck

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.

That's a whole lot of lovin'......throw some good traction in the mix so you can pull the front wheels off the ground at least once:D.

On a serious note.....have you pondered on the warranty issue more? I wonder what the driveability (if that's a word) difference will be. That's adding what........about 100 horses to the rear wheels.

If you do decide to do it, get it dynoed beforehand(if you haven't already) and afterwards....that way you'll know exactly where you stand before and after.

I recently ordered the JDM Stage 2 Kit (http://www.teamjdm.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=213) and love it. I'll be pushing 475 RWHP on stock internals. JDM has sold over 500 of these kits running at that HP on stock internals, and there hasn't been one report of a blown motor. JDM is highly recommended!

Thanks guys! I will keep you all informed of what I do. The warranty on the car is only one year so I might just upgrade the air inlet tube, throttle body, and CAI all from JDM. When warranty expires in August would do the rest. I have been informed that the saleen blower should get me 650 to the wheels. Anything more I would need a different blower or do a turbo setup. So goal is to get to 650 RWHP. We'll see where the car ends up. I will definitely get it dynoed before doing ANYTHING to the car. The should dyno at 450 to the wheels.

Has anyone tried the JLT CAI? How does it compare to the C&L intake pipe and JDM cold air kit?

The JLT won an air intake shootout (for S197's), its simple and effective.

Day dark, mine blew, but i also had meth injection and a sct big air maf now i'm trying to get the car through warranty, (hope it works), but the jdm kit really works you'll love it, ahh also what size are the tires you are using and what wheels are you using, good luck. thanks.

I have HRE 545R flat black on the stock Saleen tires. So 20 x 9 in the front and 20 x 10 in the back. 275/35/20 in the front and 275/40/20 in the back. Polkthug, I know you run a lot of JDM stuff would you prefer the JLT kit or would you rather have the JDM cold air kit, C&L Inlet tube, and SCT-2 (All from JDM). Do you need the JDM motor mounts to fit the C&L inlet tube?I figured Iwould also get a throttle bodywhen I get everything else above. What would you recommend?

The C&L tube may fit under the Saleen SC hood, I'm not sure. I'm currently using the original JDM solution which uses the stock air tube, however, I have my eye on the Extreme tube.

I'm not sold on the aftermarket throttlebodies yet. The tests I've seen have compared an untuned car versus a throttle body plus tune, which proves nothing. I'd have to see a comparison with a car that was precision tuned to start with.

dont touch ur extreme drive it buddy its ready to go

"Extreme Tube"? What is this? I know I should leave the car alone, but I just want to do a couple of mods to add a little more power. Around where I live you have a couple of 700hp evo's and STI's. Just want to show what some american muscle can do.

The tube that comes stock on the Exteme, duh! ;) :D

To become faster you can decrease your rotating mass (driveshaft, flywheel, wheels), or do other weight reductions such as replacing the factory heavy seats.

Now you got me lost. The extreme comes with the same inlet and air filter as the s/c.

There is another higher flow tube that is just coming out for the extremes and the other SC kits from Saleen

the extreme has its own custom inlet and air box i wouldnt touch it you wont see much diff if you replace it .Saleen has done custom tune and if your gone replace it to get more air the computer is gone act up ,ive never been happy with intakes unless ur planiing on getting a tune .Why dont you get the extreme 600 hp upgrade kit

When will the extreme tube be available? How much will it be?

Ditto, and will a newtune be necessary or advisable?

i dont think you guys get it, extreme already has a custom tube and that s it .there is no new tube i talked to carlos at saleen he always keeps me updated on new stuff and there is no new tube

Tubalicious!
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/PolkThug/tubes.jpg

Talk to carlos again, there is a new tube coming out for all the blowers not just the E (works great NA also) The tube will have a new program, should be shipping the beg. of Feb

Thanks, SAR.

It would also be great to have a link, orother source of moreinfo, whenever available.

Thanks Polkthug. I never really took the time to look at the tube and notice the difference until now. SAR how much will the tube and tune be?

so what good is it to spend all that money on ur Extreme and beef it up when it just sits in the garage. i dont know bout you but real men dont baby their cars they drive their cars. [8D]

how you like them sour apples!!!!!!!!! just playing guys s281E is my cousin.

He's lying boys [:@]

Get Em

P.S. I think your in the wrong forum 1 Bad Bullitt.
This section is for the real stangs (Saleen). Bullitts can go to the civic section. That would be under the killed list in the street/drag section.

:D

hey s281E whats up cousin just wanted to drop by and let you know that i changed my user name from 1 bad bullit to pwr n da handsof few. id think you would like that one better well c yea

You know what that means.......

You have to buy a Saleen or we'll have to take the name back. ;)
