I order the procharger as well. The performance shop I use is looking at an additional 120+ HP which includes the intercooling, while maintaining a safe margin for long-term use. He expects it to be delivered by the end of the month for a early May install. He needs a week with the care to install, test and tune.

Low price: $4,100

High Price (MSRP): $4,895

I ordered one. Should ship this week.

Tentative install date set for April 22, Dyno and custom tune the 23rd.

I suggest all of you getting one to find a shop with a dyno and a good tuner to get you set up properly.

The stock internals are handling 445 RWHP just fine. This is with intercooled procharger supercharger ONLY. No catback, no other mods other than custom tune.

I'm staying away from other mods until others test the new 4.6 until it breaks.

Good Luck all!

120+ hp is still well within the range of reliability. The 525+ hp number is more than 225+ hp and is well outside the reliability range for the internals.

If you are making more than 450 rwhp in a 05, you are playing with fire.

Birdieman:

I received an e-mail back from the guy on e-bay selling the Saleen Series VI sc. The question I posed was this: is the 400hp/420tq from your sc at the crank or at the wheels. His short response was at the crank. If this is true, then the motor is putting down about 330-340hp/350tq vs. putting down 400rwhp. This does not seem right to me. Could you clarify?

Thanks.

Greg
