At this point I would think of the following things first before ramping up the boost via a pulley:
* Pro5.0 Shifter
* Aluminum Driveshaft
* Sub-frame connectors w/ cross braces
* CAI (Densecharger seems to work best per dyno results)
* 70mm TB from Ford
* High flow cat pipe (Magnaflow seems to be better than Bassani for durability)

I wouldn't advise more than 10 lbs of boost on a stock motor. Also, with a Series I blower, the horsepower gains are not at all proportional to the amount of boost you add due to the imense amount of heat generated by the blower.
You might be able to see the largest and safest gains by using methanol injection(this cools down your intake temp). That should be good for a large chunk of safe, additional horsepower.
My favorite upgrade wasn't just a single upgrade and most won't be until you start doing some custom tuning to make the most out of the mods you do perform. Anyhow, my favorite combination was a 66mm blower pulley to my Series II blower accompanied by and SVT Focus fuel pump and a SCT Custom tune (tuning was performed using dyno results). The end result was an additional 70RWT and 60RWHP.
Porting the blower, as in my case, gained me an additional 30 RWHP(cost was around $350).
Hope this helps and good luck!!

The 355s aren't all that much more gear than the stock 327s.I put the 373s in when I had my Series II blower and it woke the car up alot.Now that I have the KB it's even better.It will keep pulling all the way through the 1/4 without running out of gear.All you need is a chip to calibrate for the speedo or a computer reflash.I believe saleen will reflash the ecm for $50 to correct the speedo.If you plan on very many mods you are better off getting an sct chip or programmer.That way you can just get a retune on the dyno when needed.ximportdriver said:
Sorry I was thinking about the 1/4 mile track.I guess it depends on the speeds that you can do at your track.Just to give you an idea with the 3.73s my high shift points are around 60 in 2nd,90 in 3rd and around 120 in 4th.With the 5th gear overdrive it is very comfortable at 70-80 on the freeway.I can actually use 5th now.With the 3.27s I felt like I was lugging it below 70.I had those 3.08 in my 91 saleen and they were great for HIGH speed driving.Hope this helps.

The Hurst shifter that your Saleen came with is their "entry level" shifter. There is room for improvment in a couple key areas. First, the lack of "stops" will not prevent you from damaging the forks, and doing expensive damage when "banging gears". Second, the bushings leave much to be desired. With a better shifter you will shift faster, and thus your car will be faster.
Yes, your car should have had the 3.27s removed and replaced by 3.08s. I would stick with the 3.55s as well, especially with the Series I blown cars.
I yanked the Hurst out of our car and bolted in a Pro 5.0 with an MGW adjustable handle. It is a substantial improvement over Saleen’s OEM offering.
Congratulations on your acquisition, btw.
