is that the stock air intake hose?

yep, it's even got stock h pipe in her. but that is a 90mm Lightening MAF in front of the stock intake. I think another 40 horses is in the H-pipe, tune tweaking, and intake pipe. This is with only 6 psi!!!!nonsensez9 said::drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

A few questions for you, Chuckles:
I'm so jealous...this setup is what I'm shooting for! Nice job!
- What did the whole setup cost? Can you breakdown the prices?
- How long did it take to do the whole install?
- Anything particularly quirky or hokie with the install?
- Does the S/C whine; is it loud?
jiobao said:right there with loudog - completely envious of you. :nogrinner :green :grinroll:
I have one question - was the JDM tune made for the SC - did Saleen work with them on the tune?
The mechanical part I am not worried about, I used to perform 100 hours tear-downs of aircraft engines so that does not scare. I just need to know how to get the tune taken care of. And shesh, Saleen is only a few blocks away from my office.
Thanks much - and DAMN FINE JOB!!!!!! :worship :worship :worship
WillCarson said:I am debating a roots type( Ken Bell or Whipple) or one like yours. Did you think over that as well?
It looks great! I dont want to push a huge amount of boost in mine. But, to me, the KB looks like a nice clean install.
First off GREAT freakin Job !!!! :thumbsup & Thanks for all the helpful info. I'm right on the fence on the saleen S/c & this just about pushed me over.chuckles said:I spent many weeks researching the differences between Centrifugal (Vortech), and PD(Saleen, KB, Whipple). What sold me on the PD unit, is the driveabilty of them. The power curve of the PD unit is much lower. You have 400 RWTQ at 2000 RPM!! This is much more "Steetable" power, IMO. If you want to road race, and are always in teh high end of the RPM curve, then the CF units are a better deal. (lighter, cooler, potential for more peak power). But I built this car as a street killa. It looks completely stock on the outside, right down to factory tires. The debate between a PD and a CF blower is as old as time, with good reason, they really have different applications, imo.
Now as for the difference between a "Roots" PD unit and a "Lysholm" twin screw style. The twin screw beats the roots type hands down. Since they both are PD type blowers, their operating characteristics will be similar, but the twin screw is much more efficient.

It will be interesting to see what you come up with down the road to tweek it more. One question....since most of the other Superchargers (Vortec & Paxton to name a few) use an intercooler setup, I wonder why Saleen does not? Is there an option for one? Just curious.
Enjoy the added power!
