Well guys as some of you know I purchased ’99 S-351 #37 about a year ago. I bought the vehicle and was told all the car would need was a tune. After picking up the car from Dallas and bringing it back home to Houston I decided to do a compression test. Three cylinders had really low compression and every cylinder gave me a complete different reading. I decided to hold off on pulling the motor and doing a complete over haul on it at the time because I was in the process of doing the turbo swap on the Sloleen.
About a week ago I decided I would go ahead and remove the Trickflow Box R intake setup and order a Trickflow R intake to be able to clear the stock oem heat extractor hood. With the R intake I would be able ditch the huge cowl hood that came with the car when I purchased it and run an oem style hood. I went ahead and placed the order on the Trickflow R intake earlier this week and after getting it in the mail I decided I would go ahead and just pull the motor and have it gone through to see what was wrong with it.
I will be posting pictures and updates as I make them. Enjoy!

2003 Ford Mustang Convertible Saleen
The SA-20 Speedster, based on the Saleen S281, was available as a convertible only and is powered by a 375 HP, 4.6L V8 featuring a Saleen Series IV Screw Type Intercooled Supercharger and Saleen PowerflashTM performance calibration system. These limited-edition vehicles were factory-custom painted Pearl White with its Five Spoke 18” wheels painted to match. The SA-20 features Saleen’s brand-new, never before seen 20th anniversary Tonneau cover with integrated light-bar design. In addition, the vehicle features 20th anniversary black and yellow graphics, Saleen’s lightweight, vented, composite hood, S281 Extreme Wing and S281 Extreme Rear Fascia with center exhaust. The interior of the SA-20 features 20th anniversary special edition Saleen leather sport seating, console plaque, custom floor mats and custom door panels.
The Saleen SA-20 marks the third time Saleen celebrated one of its anniversaries with the release of a limited-edition vehicle. The company celebrated its 10th anniversary with the SA-10 and its 15th anniversary with the SA-15. As with the SA-20, each anniversary car was produced in limited quantities of ten. These cars are extremely rare and highly sought after. The most notable external difference on the SA-20’s was the introduction of the new 20th Anniversary Tonneau Cover with an integrated light-bar design, S-281E Spoiler Wing, and center exhaust. And again, the SA-20 was introduced as a Speedster/Convertible only. This vehicle is number 05 of 10, Saleen Serial No. 03-0007

Ken Pollock Performance Auto
Launched during the LA Auto Show in autumn 2013 to celebrate Saleen Automotives 30 years of manufacturing, this pearl white and yellow 30th anniversary appearance package was made available for 302 Mustang, 570 Challenger and 620 Camaro models. Final build was capped to thirty cars total (ten editions in each vehicle series) at a base cost of $95,000.00.
The Saleen Anniversary 30 (SA-30) offered custom Tire Smoke White Pearl exterior paint, color match wheels, custom yellow-silver-white exterior graphics and unique charcoal/white two-tone interior appointments. These commemorative editions were fashioned with Saleen Black Label series exterior and performance enhancements.
Our feature car is 302 Mustang 14-005SA and originally delivered to Ken Pollock Performance Auto in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania.
Number 005 started life as a redirected Race Red GT Premium that was destined to become a George Follmer Heritage Edition. Because of this, it is one of few SA-30 Mustangs to receive a color matching Tire Smoke White Pearl engine compartment. Most SA-30 editions were produced using factory black painted donor vehicles and retained their original black hue engine bay.

2007 SALEEN EXTREME MUSTANG
* SALEEN ENGINEERING CAR
* 5.0 SUPERCHARGED 620 HORSEPOWER
* 600 FT/LB TORQUE
* 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
* SHAKER HOOD (PROTOTYPE FOR DARK HORSE)
* EXTREMELY POWERFUL
* RARE 1 of 1 PIECE OF SALEEN HISTORY
This is an EXTREMELY unique mustang. The S302-E Came in a small handful of varieties in the years 2008-09. The Extreme models have a hand built, forged, 5.0 supercharged v8 that produced 620 horses and 600ft/lb torque. This was the car they used in 2007 as a prototype for this engine, shaker hood/supercharger combo, and their 2008 design. To my knowledge it is the only 2007 model that has this equipment. The other, still rare, 2007 Saleen Extreme cars have standard bore 4.6 GT engine and produce 550 horsepower. The sticker price on the 4.6 extremes was still over 70K, and you couldn’t get your hands on one of these very rare 5.0 Extremes for under 83k. Only the limited edition ‘Dark Horse’ model was equipped as well with the Shaker hood. This car blows away a GT500 in every aspect of performance, and rarity. At the very bottom of this page, the last picture shows information on the car when it was done with Saleen engineering and given to a Saleen dealer in Michigan for sale. This Extreme should be compared with the likes of a Super Snake prototype. The Saleen body & styling are the pinnacle of class and design. You won’t find another mustang example like this ever again. Put it in your collection ,or have one of the baddest drivers on the road.

1997 Saleen 281 Mustang convertible, red w/saddle roof & saddle interior. Saleen bought 5 Mustang convertibles from Ford in 1997 and converted them to the Saleen design, w/ special racing suspension system and drive train. This 1997 Saleen Mustang is the only red w/saddle roof & interior in existence worldwide. It was purchased by private auction in 1997 for a reported $60,000, and has been kept on display in a auto collector’s warehouse in Florida. The collector recently had serious heath issues forcing him to sell his inventory of over one hundred collector cars as stated by the dealer representing him. I am the second owner. To the best of my knowledge the car is in perfect condition. I had to buy a new battery for it, but otherwise it is perfect. The car is fitted with standard springs,for riding on the road, and has a second set of lower profile springs designed for racing. The Saleen mustang also has a specially fitted protective cover. This Saleen Mustang is beautiful and could be a high end collector’s car or the best gift a kid ever had from his dad.
The buyer is responsible for arranging for the car to be driven or shipped to its final destination from zip code 29687.
Payment of $2,000 is required via PayPal immediately upon purchase with the balance paid by cashier’s check five days before shipment.

Techco International was launched in 2008 as an engineering services and performance parts entity. Based in Anaheim, CA Techco was staffed with a collection of former Saleen Inc personnel from the previous company’s 25 years of existence. As per agreement, Techco was to supply engine, suspension and appearance items for serialized vehicles produced by SMS Limited (Steve Saleen’s SMS Supercars) while selling performance parts and services direct to customers under this new Techco brand.
For a brief period of time, Techco International was a full-service speed shop offering many items originally engineered for S197 Saleen Mustangs as well as improved versions of similar OE Saleen items.
Now lets take a look at 05-0683 S281 Supercharged, a 2005 Saleen that went through the Techco finishing school of high performance bliss.
Enjoy!

Results of dyno run from June 2013:
Went to the dyno today and have some updated numbers with proper SAE correction factor. Pretty pleased overall. I got third place with 561HP. A fox body race car made 673HP and there was a 1990 300ZX that put over 730HP down. Lots of other nice cars…2013 Viper (529HP) and a 911 (476HP).
Updates as of April 2014 include:
* CSF Radiator
* Upgraded to 2007+ cooling lines and crossover
* 170 deg thermostat
* Pioneer AVH-4000NEX Stereo (I can control volume, seek, source, and launch Siri right from my GT500 steering wheel)
* Ambient Lighting center console
* 65mm FRPP throttle body
* Cortex Watts Link
* Griggs Coilovers
* Welded and painted axle tubes
* Moser axles
* WMS Stealth Hood Pins
* Replaced exterior badges and horn badge
* Added factory weather strip to rear of hood where it meets cowl (allows you to get cold air from outside into the passenger compartment instead of sucking in hot engine air)
Results of dyno run from May 2014:
Went to a local car show today and they had a mobile dyno so I figured I would give it a shot since I added the throttle body and improved (but not eliminated) my belt slip. I was very happy with the results. 608 SAE Corrected HP at the wheels. Uncorrected it was 620RWHP. This was all on my street, 93 octane tune. Probably get 10 more HP with the 100 octane tune. Also saw Seethrough there with his sweet Barricade replica. Awesome car and workmanship!
