Saleen pre-turbo run...

[Saleen S281]

Well, about two years ago, I ran a 13.22@106 on my car, 06 Saleen S281 n/a. I had a cai, hpipe, and nitto drag radials on the 20in. Saleen wheels on the stock clutch and hit a 1.82 short time with 3.73s. Pretty decent for my first time out a a drag strip. I'm getting ready to install my GMS turbo kit, its getting a remote tune and running about 8#s. I'm thinking I'll be around 11.4-11.8 @ 118-120.

Suspension setup?

I would choose a more drag friendly tire than those Mich supersports. A drag radial at least. Torque is gonna come on strong after every shift. But considering the 60' you cut N/A, high 11s should be a starting point.

Thee is more in your na setup since we have practically the same car. I plan on going turbo soon also.

 

[Saleen S281]

Yeah, I think I could cut a high 12 now with a drag radial again, these Michelins I got are for all around good performance, so I might get some dedicated lightweight wheels/tires w nitto nt05r. I was running the stock clutch and it was starting to slip when I ran the 13.2, now I have the RST and grabs really good. My suspension is stock Saleen bilstein shocks, Saleen sway bars, springs. I dont get wheelhop at all.

And I nailed a 12.94 on invo's last time out.

After I get it running right, I'll probably get longer gears, Ive heard it's better for turbos. I'm just looking for a quick street car to tcob on dbags.

 

[char259]

you got this running 1/4 with the new setup yet?

 

[Saleen S281]

Nope, i wish, I've been working allot and haven't had a chance to install it. Its all torn down and i still need to order more parts, gauge pod, boost controller, small stuff. Ill get my 7 days off in two weeks so i hope to get it all done then.
