Default "Saleen" engine ?? Stock mods??

I was in a conversation with a authority on Saleens today (owns 0) and he said the stock mustang GT engine in my 97 S281 is MODIFIED by SALEEN. I said I did not think the engine or drivetrain had been touched just suspension and body mods.

Anyone want to shed some light on this ??

Well - to be technical they touched the engine but not the drive line. The 281 engine recieved a couple bolt on mods but I don't have my book handy. Pretty sure it recieved a hi-flow filter (not a true CAI) higher flowing cat backs, and I THINK higher performance plugs or wires.

Pretty much what I thought.

You know how it is when you have owned several and some "expert" knows more then you.

Thanks all
