Thanks guys, had a but if a hiccup today. Cel p0340 came up, cleared it up and hasn't come back yet. Apparently its a sign that the alternator is on is way out. The car seems fine, drives fine, looks like things are starting to crap out, which is normal for a 7-8 year old car. I'll post more vids as I get them. Btw, this happened to my wife as she was shopping in Houston (90 miles away) so getting a call about a cel isn't fun, lucky, I've taught her well and as soon as she got it, she got off the throttle and pulled over safely. I still have my xcal in there so i walked her through to get the code and clear it. Drove fine all the way home. I can see why there's great interest in just getting a new five-oh... Not gonna do it though, pulling for my 3v brothers!!

Btw, I had to ask..."Did you go into boost on your way there?" Her response..."well...i might have...ok I did, couldn't help it.." Don't blame her one bit...

You should roll it out one evening when we are both off, and we can have the RUK guys make some vids. 2 sweet black turbo 3v's!

Sounds good, should be some good runs. Just need to datalog it and get my final tune on 8#. I'm off Monday so I can do the log then.

 

[Saleen S281]

Well, tried to do a log this morning, got the laptop and Livelink to play nice with each other, and it started raining... I will say this, the boost controller works very nice. With the dial turned up about half way, it shoots straight up to 8 psi and stays there. The Prosport gauges have a peak future that will recall the highest it's been. My wife says she's ready fur the final tune@ 8.5-9 psi, lol

Supposed to be beautiful this weekend! And cold...Woosh Woosh!

 

[Saleen S281]

I hope so, I'm off this weekend coming up, you're working days aren't you? Hopefully my tune is ready for a few runs.

 

[Turbostangs90]

Well, I Figured I'd Give An Update On My Build. Everything Is Still Running Good, No Issues. I Went To The Track To Do Some Datalog Pulls For Lito. One Thing, Michelin Pilot SPort Are Great Street Tires, But They Definitely Aren't Made For The Drag Strip. I Have To EasE It Out Of The Hole To Avoid Crazy WheelSpin. If I Go Wot In Second, It Breaks THem Loose Again, So I Have To Pedal It. Third Feels Good, But By THe End Of Third, I'm At The End Of The Track. Best Run Was A 12.7 @ 115. With A Crappy 2.2 60Ft Time. This Was Not My Final Tune And Running @9# Of BoOst. I've Been Able To Get 1.82 60Ft Times On The STock Clutch, N/a On 555R Tires On The Factory 20' Heavy Saleen Chrome Wheels, So I Know I Can Cut At Least That With Better Tires. The Car Is In The Shop Right Now GettIng A New Paint JoB. Whe I Get The Car Back, I'll Have AN Adjustsble PanHardBar And A Set Of Cortex LCA & Relocation Brackets To Install. My Next Step Is To Get A Few More Logs For Lito So I CaN Get My Final Tune.
I Was Going To Get A Wotbox But It's Useless Right Now Till I Get Better Tires/Wheels.

Here's My Gopro Vid, RaCing My Buddy In His Saleen S281sc, He Has More Hp Than I Do, Which Explains His Top End Pull.
Btw, I Forgot That I Turned The Boost Controller Down To 7Psi Because Of How Hot The Weather Had Been, I Usually Run 9Psi, Oops, lol

You should get these. http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=105291
and a set of Hoosier QTPs and call it good. Cheap drag setup that will cut 1.6 or better 60'. It is fun watching a stock 18" wheel come off the ground in a 430~hp car.

 

[Saleen S281]

Damn, That'sCheap. Thanks
