I've actually seen em and they didnt seem overpriced to me. I was actually schocked they werent charging more lol. They had a blue one I liked, not quite sonic blue, but still nice.
it wasnt for sale i dont think...had california tags on it and no dealer sticker....so it was ewye candy.....but if it was saleen performance in a focus package i would pay good money for it....not like the rousch stage 1 focus ...looks and no go....
the nitrous part is what keeps me away from Saleen. They have no qualms about warrentying a mustang with a blower added but they give the focus a complete nitrous kit and tell you not to hook it up or else. screw that, you keep the nitrous and give me a blower instead.
How "nitrous ready" can it be if they arent willing to cover it? oops, guess they forgot to retard the timing and add a J&S safeguard.

that depends on whether they are talking at the crank or at the wheels. (which they didnt mention) if the measured HP is at the crank, then we are talking a great improvment of 5hp over the stock pzev.
but even if it is 150 at the wheels, its not really that impressive. focus fanatic magazine got 150 at the wheels of a pzev with the basic bolt ons. (se the spring 04 issue for more info)
I need a hot key for typing my mods. Everytime I mention my dynos I get asked about mods. lol. here goes:
ram air intake, UDP, TB, adj. cam gear (-3), Stage 2 camshaft , EFP valvetrain, Custom oversized valves, Cylander head decked for 11:1 CR, triple angle valve job, valves bored out 1.2mm, Port and polish manifolds, port and polish head, retimed IMRC, Custom ECU flash (timing advanced for 91, EGR off, alternator off at WOT, Fuel tables rewritten) prototype DSIM (removed for now) ORP, straight pipe allt he way back, Escort GT headers, Spax adjustable struts/shocks, progress springs, energy suspension bushings kit, BDR short throw shifter, Quaife gears (zetec gears with 4.06 final drive) BF Goodrich G-Force Sport tires.
ok I think thats it, oh yeah - NX wet kit for the track.
quarter times are 14.9 NA and almost 13s with the nitrous and nitrous chip.
Id put it in my sig but I dont want to get into a pissing match with somebody about my numbers. Ive had it happen before. Some people scream for charts like I save the damn things or something. I mean really, Ive spent about 30 hours on the dyno making adjustments to the engine and the computer. I cant even count how many runs Ive made. So if I kept the charts Id have a freaking binder full. I guess I'll just have to take JBs advice. Or else stop telling people about it.
dont stop tellin people..be proud and piss on the non-believers...anyways...you have a discount to the dyno or have one yourself?...cause 30 hours would be very exspensive indeed...
I think I have the "platinum membership" now. lol. No, I just pay alot for the service. But I do get some freebie hours now and again for my continued bussiness. I also help the shop tune other EECVs in exchange for dyno time.
