Went to the track last night

[fastregalwe2]

Got a new best for this car of 12.47 @ 112 1.86 60' I added some MT DR's and a W/B. What I noticed was I lost 3 mph. Last time out on street tires I was trapping 115. Did I lose MPH because the car wasnt spinning? The W/B also showed my AFR at 10.9 @ WOT. Seems too rich. That was with abot 6 gallons of 91 and 4.5 gallons of 110.

What's a the difference between a w/b and a regular a/f meter? other than $200?

Great times. I think with your set up you should be almost into the 11's. I have a friend here with very similar set-up and he is running 12.1.

regular a/f meter gives an approximate reading of the a/f ratio. A w/b gives the actual reading, so accurate in fact it can be used to tune the car with.

I should pick up a tenth or two with a slightly leaner tune. I need to be about 12.0 or so. 10.9 is quite fat.

Im being told that its the Saleen airbox choking out the engine

[HotRodHarry]

Good time!!

Maybe it was just the weather/temp/humidity/engine temp difference. Kills these cars if all is not just right.

The stock Saleen Ultimate Air kit with their huge mass air works great on my car.

[fastregalwe2]

I ordered the Saleen Extreme cold air kit today. Should have it next week.

[HotRodHarry]

That should help abit..I had that one before the Ultimate Saleen Intake. If you can save up the money....go with my setup in time. Well worth it.

[Jeepngli]

OP, what are your mods? Nice time!

What is the Ultimate?

[HotRodHarry]

Here is a pic of my setup...comes with a 95mm mass air meter too. Paired with 60 lb injectors..stock throttlebody still. It is what came on the Sterling cars I think.

[fastregalwe2]

thats what I ordered, it has 100mm MAF now. I cant wait to see how much it helps, if any. Maybe my car was just built on a Monday

[HotRodHarry]

I couldnt remember if the Ultimate has a 100 or 95. Need Jimmy III's in here.

Ha Ha on the Monday comment ;)

is that a mosaleen idler I see on your car? silver tensioner on the driver side? Also, what is the silver box on the pass side of the firewall near the battery?

[HotRodHarry]

I do have a Roush Tensioner on my car..but cant see that in the pic....you can see the alternator that is smaller than stock. My stock one died and we used one out of some new Ford Ranger Truck that has more amps and is smaller also.

The box on the firewall is an overflow catch can for the automatic transmission. When you up the pressure in the lines in the tune for the firmer shifts in these cars, the stock overflow tube just puts it all over the ground. My setup saves the fluid and it drains back in the trans. Its very important to keep the auto trans full of fluid in these modded cars.

You were right, 95mm housing. The electronics in the housing are whats the big difference over stock. They will support up to 800 RWHP!! Plus the tuning and driveability with the ultimate air kit is awesome

[HotRodHarry]

Thanks buddy......and yes...my car drives a million times better than stock. Amazes me every time I take her out.

I just keep calling until someone answers the phone. I cant remember what I paid for my JDM tune but I think it was just over $100.
I have both Brenspeed and JDM tunes, race and street and I can tell you I ran the same number at the track on both, the same night

[HotRodHarry]

i didnt even think they had a message. Call Jim Jr or Sr during business hours and tell them I sentya. They do go to racing events alot too

and as far as the www.TeamJDM.com tune.....its worth it.

How many 13 lbs of boosted Saleen Supercharged 4.6 SOHC 3V(just 3.0 upper..stock lower) with original stock engine,stock original 5 speed Automatic,Stock Torque Converter, Stock original front and rear suspension,stock rear with 4.10s and full weight...are turning 10.70's at 128mph on Drag Radials?

[fastregalwe2]

Are any, ANY, of the cars out of JDM running a stock Saleen, not Ultimate or Extreme, AIRBOX and making decent power? My car has had a 3.2 pulley on it with a JDM tune for awhile and the power it is making is quite disappointing, to say the least
