RE: Motor and pipe upgrade
There are about 200 different engines out there to choose from. It all depends on your budget and tuning ability. Give me an idea what price range you want to stay in, along with your skill level at engine tuning, and i will give you some recommendations as well as some links. Regarding pipes, I would recommend either the THS or RB Concepts one piece pipes. They are both great and cost 50, 90 respectfully.
Here is a link for the saleen body you want.
