    from: http://www.saleen.com/supercharger.htm The shape of the intake "snorkel" between the throttle body and the supercharger rotors, has been flow bench calibrated for maximum air flow. Everything in this kit has been designed with expandability in mind, and constant flow without...

    Great #'s but YIKES look how close the belt is to the alt. that could cause some problems when the belt stretches. It look like it is resting on it. Could that be the delay problem? Vortech, Paxton, & Saleen all have a product on the market and in use. http://www.saleen.com/supercharger.htm

    It would help about .4 to .6 on 1/4 mile track. There is no way to compare the flat steady boost of a roots or screw supercharger to a centrifugal blower. You can compare a centrifugal and a turbo for power curve. for racing a turbo can produce more power and is much more efficient than any...

    Motors can hold up to some unbelievable power for a short time. Just today I saw a video of a turbo powered VW run a 10.3 second 1/4 with all stock pistons & crank, no cage, he got kicked off the track. (he ran it last sunday at the track in Ennius, TX) That kind of power will break something...

    Heck no, not on the motor. If it goes I will put everything back to stock then take it to dealer and roll the dice. I'll have on a dyno in a couple weeks. I want to make sure I get what was advertised.

    check out Motor Trend May 05 they test a o5 with a vortech and it ran 13.0 in the 1/4 mile (What a joke!) As far as the 5k for ONLY 100hp gain comment all I got to do is change the pully size (blower or Crank or both) and bada bing It could make another 100-200hp :D :D Of course that...

    That's one way to look at. I don't want to take the motor apart (yet) & put forged internals. Boost isn't always the indicator to look at to judge performace. You also have to consider adiabatic efficiency, mechnaical efficiency, & volumetric efficiency. If MM&FF would test each area it would...

    Yeah that's alot it you think about it too much or try to compare it to NOS. I have to have the powerband all the way through for my application so I would not buy a vortech or procharger for this application. Nothing wrong with them at all just not the fit I'm looking for. I will get the...

    I like the looks of the whipple & the KB . I like the technology of the saleen better. I was going to buy the first one that came to market and it was saleen (for the screw type) so that's why I went with them. KB always build great products with great numbers. I don't know mutch about the...

    just bought the saleen 3v supercharger!!

    must be since they are selling the cars like that.

    just bought the saleen 3v supercharger!!

    I got a little bit of both, my attitude is if breaks I build it with forged internals next time - or should I say when I break it. Saleen told me they have 12 cars with the supercharger on now out in public in CA. I bet they got a good package and reliability won't be an issue for a while.

    just bought the saleen 3v supercharger!!

    not sure yet, I'm waiting on a call back from the engineer. I'm guessing crank since its only 5lbs of boost. so if it would be rwhp that would be way cool.

    just bought the saleen 3v supercharger!!

    Yes you can get them now. they build them to order in 5 days (so I was told) & five days to ship. I'll keep all posted on if they come though & how the instal goes.
