    He got the tuner kit, so I'm not sure of what he already had in terms of parts. Hopefully when I see the dyno sheet it will have the boost curve on it. I do know it was a 3.1 upper and 7 3/4 lower like on the 03-04 Cobra. It was on 93 Octane. Some certified SCT tuner tuned it in OH. Way too much...

    Gearbanger 101...just an FYI. Got a call from a bud of mine today who sprung for the Tork Tech kit. He called today to brag. It made 435 rwhp and 455 rwt. I told him to turn around and go back to his tuner and tone it down. It won't last at those numbers. Base lined at 238 rwhp. Almost like...

    I think I would sell the 04 and just get like a GT500 or 500KR as my starting platform. It would take less time to do all the upgrades. Besides, you don't need to do any engine work, it can handle it. Why invest another 20-30K in an 04?

    So is this thing installed yet? What are all these "extra upgrades" going to cost?

    mail order tunes??

    First of all, make sure when you buy a used one, it has been returned to stock. Otherwise it will be VIN locked to the vehicle it was on, and of no use to you. Some "people" are using them to build a tune for their cars, and then selling them on Ebay. No good to anybody. As far as mail order...

    Just got slicks, where to launch?!?!

    Best ET is always launch 3-400 RPM shy of peak torque, and shift 2-300 RPM after peak power. Torque gets you moving, HP pulls you out the top end of the track. No need to spin it to the moon, since anything beyond peak HP is all down hill anyway.

    I know KB is pretty clear on their web site about re-tuning. As it states, they "lock their tunes whenever possible" so you can't mess with them. To re-tune you will need to send your ECU back to them for re-calibration, otherwise all bets are off. Here is a qoute from their site: "Now, if a...

    97 GT Needs New Engine...Build Up Advice

    If memory serves, NPI were 9.2 and PI were 9.5. Not a major difference.

    Just as a suggestion, you may too look at the Scaler in the tune. It looks like "Time Delay to Open Loop ECT"is set at 4 or 5 . Should be at Zero. Also check "Time Delay to Open Loop RPM" in the Scaler. That's probably why it is holding AFR at 14 plus.

    97 GT Needs New Engine...Build Up Advice

    Several companies, like Fox Lake, make Stage II cams and heads that with the parts you already have, a good tune should make close to 330-340. Good Eagle rods and Mahle pistons should go in. That way if you ever decide to got N2O or S/C you're set. That would get you up around 490-500, but then...

    Saleen new inlet/intake for Series II

    You would be better off buying the new TTI intake tabe, and just porting the blower. You would probably see better results since the OEM Saleen inlet is so small.

    Saleen new inlet/intake for Series II

    To clarify...that Saleen had a ported M90, ported by Magnum Powers. The blower and the intake tube. He also had cams and ported heads, tuning. He then pulled the M90 kit off, except for the front mount heat exchanger, intercooler reservoir and inter cooler pump. He then installed the TTI M112...

    Saleen new inlet/intake for Series II

    1999 Saleen still with the M90. This guy stepped up to the Tork Tech M112, lowered his boost and picked up roughly 100 HP. So an M90 (ported BTW can also make some nice power. http://j.mustangcars.com/J/stang/svtsnake/vidz-08/99Saleen.wmv

    Saleen new inlet/intake for Series II

    JDM Engineering is testing the TTI setup on the 12th of August and doing a re-tune on the car, since the airflow has increased drastically. Chris at JDM is running the project.

    major blower heat soak! cant seem to figure it out?

    I hope you found a solution, and get it solved. One other option is to replace the intake manifold with an air/water intercooler and ad some more cooling capacity. (Like on the positive displacement blowers) Every 10 degrees of cooling is worth 5-10 HP depending on who you ask.

    Getting Blown Finally!

    Just for future reference, the company has been around since 1988, but decided to release the product under a new company name, since it made more sense for the product.

    major blower heat soak! cant seem to figure it out?

    Its possible that by adding a "chin spoiler" to direct the air into the heat exchanger would help. I would suggest that if you do that, also ad a baffle on the top of the heat exchanger to direct the air straight in and through.

    major blower heat soak! cant seem to figure it out?

    After looking at the dyno sheet, the tune looks great. 11.90 pretty much across the board. Nice straight line. No weird spikes. MAF counts look good. Nowhere near saturation. 60 pond injectors and the cobra pumps will easily support the power. What thermostat is in the car?

    major blower heat soak! cant seem to figure it out?

    Lean creates the heat. Its like on the new GT500's. If the exhaust starts running hot, instead of pulling timing, they dump extra fuel to cool things down. Trust me, its a lean condition caused by lack of fuel. What type of fuel delivery system do you have and what size injectors? It is possible...

    major blower heat soak! cant seem to figure it out?

    I think you said that you believe the car is running rich. It actually sounds very lean. Back in the day on carbureted applications, you always knew which cylinder was running lean. Just aim a pyrometer at the primary tubes and the one that was the hottest was the leanest. If lean enough the...
