The Saleenator
ok... so after a month of sitting in my living room, it goes in tomorrow.
I'm gonna drop it to SuttonHP and hopefully by Monday everything should be rockin'
Here's the setup I chose to go with:
Saleen S/C
3.60 pulley
KB Boost-a-pump
39# injectors
HTO spark plugs
Steeda Complete CAI (includes the hi-flow inlet elbow)
Custom tune by SuttonHP
So, what do you guys think my numbers should be?
I'm aiming for somewhere around 420-430 to the wheels. Do you guys think this is possible?
btw it's an auto

RE: The Saleenator
I have the Saleen with a 4lb pulley, long tube headers with Magnaflow cat backs and a CAI and the best I got was 395RWHP. For me, I don't need anything else! Once I got the 4:10s in the rear, it's hard to keep the thing on the road.

RE: The Saleenator
Hmm, Depends on the Dyno and tuner.... I'm at 445rw with the 3.2 pulley... LT Headers X-pipe... and manual... I think I'm getting 9.5 lbs of boost out of the 3.2 (due to the flow of the exhaust, less back pressure = less boost)
If I were to guess, I'd say somewhere between 400-420.... but there are so many variables....don't get too caught up in the dyno numbers game...
I had the 3.8 and I was at 400rw and then the 3.4 I was at 440ish (but a lot more torque and different dyno) then the 3.2 at 445rw
regarding the Saleen as a blower... I like it, but IF I were to do it again I would have gone with a Kenne Bell 2.6... only cause it can go higher with the boost...I think Saleen is only good up to 15-17 lbs where as the KB can go 20+... Of course Forged Internals would be necessary for either...I'm just thinking about the future and the possibility of doing a forged set up...
the Saleen is fine, it's a great looking install, and it is quiet compared to the other blowers...so it can kinda be kept a sleeper if ya want...

I'm serious. I have heard many times people have been disappointed with the saleen. But if you're dead set on it, that's fine.

I know that probably the whipple or KB would make more power, hell, I even considered getting the Hellion turbo kit from brenspeed... but for now... I think this should do it.
besides... I need to build that engine anyway if I ever consider that this won't be enough.
Perdi, I'm guessing yours isa manual?

I know what you mean it's just that I already got the saleen sc and selling it or waiting for it to sell while I drop 6k on a whipple would be a bad move don't ya think?
