I can put 6 pts in mine, and its not to the top of the full line on the stick.

saleen doesnt make there cars in stages
the s281-E would be the "stage 3" and yes it comes with a fully built motor and a ported blower

but mine the s281 "stage 1

" stock oil pan lol ill take a picture of my little saleen sticker that tells me about the oil and post it up

I do go with it and use 5W20 for the most part. I just don't believe there's much of a difference between the two.

iv got a ford shop manual cd, and that engine DVD, it has just about anything you can think of for a mustang, from engine specs to wiper bolt torque specs lol

I cracked all 8 stock rod bearings.

Hey, Built. You didn't go back with stock bearings did you? If not what did you use? Thanks
