2V Question: Kenne Bell 2.2L versus Saleen Series V (2.3L)

Hello,

I was wondering how the Saleen Series V supercharger compares to the Kenne Bell 2.2 L, for 2V Stangs.

They are both twin screws, and they are approximately the same size.

One thing I like about the Saleen Series V is that, theoretically, it seems like it should be 50-state legal for a 2V, because it is OEM equipment for the Saleen S-281-E, which is a 2V. The Kenne Bell 2.2, on the other hand, is not 50-state legal for a 2V. Does anyone know if the Series V is 50-state legal for a 2V?

I have heard that the 2V Saleen Series IV (1.6 L) was not as good as the KB 1.7, because of the restrictive intake. However, I was wondering if they fixed that issue in the Series V.

In other words, could the Series V, with the correct pulley, forged short block, etc, make as much horsepower, or almost as much horsepower, as the KB 2.2? Has anyone tried to make 600 or 700 rwhp using a Series V with a smaller pulley?

I've done lots of google searches, and I've searched the various Stang forums, but I've had a hard time finding info on the Series V.

Here is the Saleen ad, selling it for $7000 (you have to do a Search using keyword "series"):

Here is an ad, selling it for $6200:

I finally focused on the Saleen forums, and that helped, because I found out more info on the Saleen Series V blower.

Here's one guy who claims to have run it at 18 psi and 550 rwhp (scroll down to Birdieman4 reply):

In fact, the same guy believes that the Series V can do 650 rwhp:

Eventually, he wrecked his S-281-E, unfortunately.

He's the only person I've seen who actually tried to run the Series V at a high boost.

I'm trying to figure out how Birdieman4 got 550 rwhp out of the Series V.

Are you saying that it was because the S-281-E had headwork done, and because someone ported the Series V intake?

In other words, are you saying that the Series V intake manifold is exactly the same as the Series IV intake manifold?

By the way, I found out that Birdieman4 didn't wreck his S-281-E. A Ford dealer wrecked it:
