Roush Motor's at the shop...

Hey all,

Well, I finally got moved, sort of. We are in Ohio now. Missed being on the board. Had a lot going on. BTW, does anyone want to know what is between Amarillo TX and OakCity? NOTHING! The drive from Phoenix to Ohio sucked.

The good news is, I bought that 03 crate motor off of eBay. I was going to get the PI swap kit, but the new crate motor cost me about as much as the kit would have. I sent the motor to Modular Depot in Cincinnati OH. I'm having them add Comp Cam's XE270AH cams, valve springs, UD pulleys, long tube's, x-pipe, and 373's in the car. The guy there says that those mods combined with the custom tune will get me 300-305 rwhp and around 310ftlbs of torque. I'll post the dyno numbers when I get it done. Hopefully the numbers will be close to that. I'm also looking for a TKO or T-56 while I'm at it, but if I don't find it in time I'll do that later.

Hopefully all will go smoothly. I'm pretty tired of the lack of power in my '96. I wanted to maintain the stock look, so we'll see how it goes. I wanted to try the N/A route first. If I don't like it, maybe a charger or NOS will be in my future

Yep, they'll do the cam's, headers, etc while the engine is out. They said it will only take them 2-3 days to swap the motor's in the car. I can do w/o it that long. I'm looking forward to having more HP. The 96-98 Saleens were definately not powerhouses...

Yea, yea, Pony, don't remind me. Hey, I figure it is a lousy investment anyways. I don't like the performance as it is. It looks fast, which causes every TD&H to want to race. I figure I might as well have fun with it. Besides, I may keep the stock motor just in case...
