    need help with strange front wheel position

    I don't know Mustangs well yet, but were the lower control arms removed during the swap? Can they, or could they be installed on the wrong sides? I'll go get my fire suit.

    saleen supercharger, will it fit??

    My 99 Saleen SC intake is aluminum and says Saleen on it. I can't tell you anymore than that. Isn't yours plastic? You may need a matching Saleen intake but I'm not sure.

    My 99 S281 wheels are 18x9 and 18x10 according to the window sticker. The word Saleen is in raised lettering on the outside of the rim.

    Beat on the Saleen last night.

    The FFFW is coming up in Phoenix and I figured I may as well try to launch this car. Its a 99 with the factory blower and 3.73 gears. Any attempt to floor it in 1st blows the back tires out from under it. The tach hits 6500 and when you hit 2nd the backend fishtails like no other. I try to roll...

    Good tuner in Az. Hopefully Tucson?

    I want to change a few things on the car, but am hesitant to do so until I know of a good dyno shop to tune it afterwards. I'll go to Phoenix if I have to, but hoped there might be someone in Tucson.

    Roush Speedo question!

    I changed my 3.08 gears in my 99 Saleen to 3.73s 2 days ago. The speedometer seems to read the same. I called the dealer to have them correct the computor for the gears.The service tech said my speedo sensor reads axle speed, on the ring gear, not the driveshaft. So no changes were required...

    Fan control for a 99GT?

    As best I can tell, none of the handheld programmers will adjust the fan setpoints on this year. Anybody had any succes with this, besides wiring a bypass switch? I've looked at Predator, SCT, and Hypertech. :(

    PCM, Recalibrate and Remap?

    I've been reading the new issue of Mustang Enthusiast and they talk about modes that require reprogramming. Like removing the catalytic converters, or bigger injectors and throttle bodies, etc. Can the average guy get a Hypertech or similar piece and reprogram themselves or must it go to a dyno...

    Radiator Fan T-stat?

    I have a 99 and wondered if there was a sensor to swap out to turn the fan on sooner. It doesn't help much to have a cooler T-stat if the fan won't come on untill 195-200 degrees. Any cool tricks I should know about besides wiring in a manual fan switch?

    Steeda, Roush, Saleen?

    I think that Roush cars look awesome but their a bit of a pain with the ground effects being so low at the side pipes. Looks great, but every time you get out of the car your shoes want to scuff the ground effects. Sounds minor but it was a pain in the a$$ for me. (I'm 6'4") Just getting in and...

    Saleen, Drive it or park it?

    I'm glad everyone says drive it. I've never owned such an awesome car, and I didn't want any regrets for modifying it.

    Saleen, Drive it or park it?

    Its an optional Saleen hood. It has functional air reliefs in the 2 vents to let out the hot air. I wasn't sure I liked the blacked out hood, but it looks great in real life. Here's a shot of the motor. Thanks for the compliments.

    Saleen, Drive it or park it?

    Guys, I've got a 99 S-281 with a factory supercharger. It has 20,800 miles on it. I plan on adding gears, headers, blower pulley etc. I want this thing to fly. Also it will get 3k-5k miles a year added to it the way my car situation is now. Will i get stones thrown at me for this? I look at it...

    Best gear for Saleen supercharged car?

    It has an X pipe with no cats. I want to put a smaller blower pulley on it soon. Right now, in 1st gear, from a roll, if I nail it boost goes to 7pds and it blows the back tires out from under it. They're Kumho 295/35x18s. I know the lower gears are going to make this worse but I want better...

    Roush Blown vs N/A production numbers?

    Anyone know if there is a breakdown between these on any given year? Mine is a 99 S-281, if it matters.
