Got a chance to check out my 2002 Saleen tonight on the dyno.
Found the boost controller is not working so only made 11 pounds of boost on the waste gate springs.

Still knocked out good power and torque. More boost and bigger numbers coming soon.

Caleb tweaked the tune a little and gave me better driveability as well.
Thanks Fastlane Motorsports!

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-2][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-2]Found some issues today when I started tracing my boost controller lines. One of them was not connected to the wastegate properly.
So I am going to redo all the lines and send my AMS500 off to NLR to get tested.

Here's a quick video from today when I was chasing down some squeaks and working on the boost lines.

Goddam! BaddAss Brotha! How much was the total with finishing the 98 TT Saleen?

To tell you the truth, I've lost count along the way. I've owned the black 98 for over 10 years and made changes to it just about every year since I bought it. It was stock with bolt ons, then heads/cams/headers/vortech sq-trim, then stroker kit with vortech t-trim, then twin 57mm turbos, then new 5.4/4 valve/twin 67's/T56, then 4R70W swap......that is how it currently sits.
I don't want to know how much I've spent on that thing over the years! I'd probably be sick to my stomach! Haha.

The red 2002 is a pretty nice car. It needs new paint (clear coat is popping off), but hard to tell in the pictures.
It was driven hard and put up wet before I got it, so I've had to fix some little things along the way.
I just got the NLR AMS500 boost controller back today and installed it tonight. No chance to drive it yet.

I expect to get it from 11 pounds of boost to around 18 pounds on pump gas and try to squeeze 700rwhp out of it.
I call the red one "Little Brother" to the black one. Hahaha.

Sooo if I am ever in north carolina can I meet you and shake your hand? or something? Because you seriously have some of the most badass cars I have ever seen, and they're saleens, any Saleen Mustang is a dream car to me, so the fact you have two twin turbo really fast one Saleens is amazing, not to mention the GT500, sooo awesome!!
