I need some expert advice........So I have a Vapor 2008 GT that has a Saleen 475hp blower kit on it and that uses a stock box with a high flow air filter. This sucks because I also have a ram air hood that is freaking cool looking. But with this configuration, it is only ramming the top of the box and not the blower. So here is the reason I need your help......I want a CAI that will sit right where I need it, but with me eventually going to the 550HP kit am I going to have to retune again and then again? According to some of the CAI's out there, with a stock configuration, there is no tune necessary. So if the Blower requires, let say 80CFM and the CAI handles that then I would not need to tune. If I upgraded and the pulley and now required 120CFM, then I would have to sell the CAI or tune the blower down? right? Alternatively, if the CAI would supply 140CFM, I would be good with any case above because it would then become blower dependant and no matter what, the blower would restrict the flow. Is this making sense to anyone?

I'm trying to get these mods done before I rip the car apart for other mods.

Attached are a few pics to show you what I'm trying to explain.

Thanks and Cheers!

Not sure if this is what your looking for. My tuner Adam with ST Motorsports) is working on making a CAI system for cars with the saleen S/C. Here's the one he started working on the test car. I can't wait till he completes it. It'll look a lot better also. Give Adam a call also, but he's hard to get a hold of cause he's so busy.
Let him know Ed in San Diego sent you.

I would guess any CAI you put on a supercharger would need a tune.

+1 on that, but u wont get a better service-tuner anywhere else!

Sadly, a ram air hood does very little for performance. The CAI alone will help but the hood, not so much.

JDM has a CAI specifically for the Saleen SC -- it is on my car. I am also using the larger SCT MAF. They may also be willing to sell you a tune.

thanks for the information. this looks like a better option and they know and understand the saleen supercharger.
