TGJ, yeah I still stay in touch with Johnny and Kris thanks for the kind words about the cars of my past.
royb, you are saying you have an S197 with a Saleen blower? Yes, I would like to check that out, and I might have to swing out to the DFWStangs get together. However I think if you would look at a cross section of the Saleen blower you'd be surprised at what you see. And I'll tell you what if you can put your cars on the roller and show me 500HP to the rear wheels I'll pay for the run. I just don't think it's there, and the information that I have comes from some pretty high up true life "know it alls" in the industry. Regardless, as I said I'm interested in the Saleen blower and would like to see your setup, did you install it yourself?
PolkThug I have seen people with the JDM pullies up around 12.5 pounds of boost I haven't seen anyone over that, and those with those pullies are having bad belt slipage problems. I think anyone over 8-10 pounds of boost on a stock bottom end is just asking for a paperweight for a stock block. But only time will tell what these bottom ends will do, nobody has pushed them long enough to show longevity yet IMHO.

PS: Here are a few cars of my past just to say hi. I've lurked on these boards for years but don't ever say much.
RoyB, this one might look familar to you, I bought it off of one of the local DFWStangs guys
