ive been asking around about any info regarding install and performance about the supercharger im about to put on my 03gt, and all u guys have been very helpful. however 99% of the people on a "local" forum have nothing to say but a bunch of crap about how tis only gonna add 50hp and itll overheat and blow up the car.

i know eatons run hotter than, say vortechs, but is there any way to help them run cooler?

also how much rwhp could i expect to see with a series 2, 66mm pulley, 75mm TB, focus fuel pump, 36lb injectors, mac prochamber, and magnaflow exhaust with a good tune?

I had mine on for 2 years with the chicane 66mm pulley and Ripp kit and got 335rwhp and 355 tq.It's actually a decent blower for the street.For the price of a used one it is a pretty good buy.

Add Water Wetter to your intercooler. That dropped my charge temp by almost 30 degrees. With similar mods I was getting about 365rwhp & 405rwt.

How much water wetter should you add to the intercooler tank? Thats
a great idea never thought of it.

1 oz. of Water Wetter per quart of the cooling system. Greater than 15% but less than 50% antifreeeze/water mixture works best with the Water Wetter for street applications.

Billy would you know how much coolant the Saleen Intercooler Holds?
And the water wetter is made by Red Line Oil?

Not that this necessarily means anything but Saleen does not recommend using Water Wetter.

I forgot to add in my previous post; you can also add methanol injection which not only cools your charge temp, but adds a bunch of horsepower for free.

Are you going to dyno after going with the water and methanol?
I would like to see what your new numbers are.

This goes back a couple years and I believe it was discussed on the “other board”, where Saleen employees frequently contributed their knowledge. It was either John Spruill (sp?) or Billy Tally who chimed in on a thread discussing Water Wetter. If memory serves me correctly, Saleen stated that in their testing, intercooler efficiency was diminished due to deposits attributed to the Water Wetter in the system.

Take it for what it’s worth.
