It seems all saleen blowers (Gen I, II, III, IV and even V...) have a very smooth power delivery.
Try a KB if you have a chance, you'll feel that Kick instantly that you are missing...

I have an 04 281SC and I gotta say it's quick (stock just yet). At 60-70mph and nailing it in 3rd is awesome. Seems you have an issue my friend. It's under warranty, go have it checked out.

Secondly, I gotta say that I drove another 281SC prior to buying mine and it pulled like a normal Mustang. The dealer was trying to make excuses saying it was all there but I knew better and bought the one I did.

Good Luck!

You need to explain better your problems, Knowone can understand what your trying to say. Sounds like you just have a case of the " want more hp club"

Is it making a piniging sound under WOT?

Bad gas perhaps? The SC's hate cheap gas.

91 octane is cheap gas. You are supposed to use 92-93 octane ONLY. Anything else is hurting your motor.

Saleen flashes the CA models for 91 octane since that is the standard here. We get lower quality gas and pay a lot more.

I run both my S351's on 91 octane "cheap gas" as well. Don't have any problems with mine. California went to 91 octane in the mid 90's as our premium grade. If I want to run a tank of 101 octane, a local unocal 76 has it available at about $5.00 per gallon..........
