newbie question on SLP package

[koopa]

:rolling: hey guys, greetings from scotland uk. And before anyone starts i dont look a damn thing like groundskeeper willie!!

I have a 2005 Saleen S281-3v just now but have been seriously impressed by the cobra and will be importing one from the states next month. I want to have the thing tuned to a minumum of 500rwhp before it is shipped over and wonder....

1) What do you guys think of SLP's 575fwhp performance pack? Is it a true power figure and can the engine run the power safely?
2) Would i be better just leaving the engine stock and having a kenne bell fitted in place of the eaton?

Thanks for the help guys :beer:

2) Would i be better just leaving the engine stock and having a kenne bell fitted in place of the eaton?KB requires substantial supporting mods unless you run really low boost, in which case it is a total waste of 3K$

unless you have good mechanical skills and sufficient access to local vendors willing to help you tune it and check a/f (or just get a wideband and check it yourself) I would leave it stock.

Like Postban said, the SLP exhaust is way loud. Maybe THE loudest out there. The package is okay, but personally I'd rather but together my own package so that I know (A) that the parts I choose are about the best quality available, and (B) I'm getting a proven package that will get me the power I'm looking for. I haven't heard of any dyno tests after the SLP package was installed. It would be interesting to see how it stacks up (price and power wise) against packages available through our authorized vendors, or packages our members put together on their own.

slp is reativly new to the mustang crowd, i would look into other better products and make your own package from better stock

Sure, but if a problem arises with the tune, which is all too common, what are you gonna do? May not even find out until something gets ****ed up from running lean.
I'd follow what Postban said.
