I don't mean to pi$% on the parade but what about water injection? I know I don't take my Stang out in the rain and would love to add this to my car but if it happens to start pouring will I seize my motor??
Living in Michigan it may be sunny and dry in the morning but wait 10 minutes and we could have a monsoon! [&:]

RE: Saleen shaker super charger
Are you both clueless? This design is TOTALLY different than the CDC shaker or the Ford OEM on the Mach1. Look at the pictures!
The Saleen is a direct feed to the supercharger the CDC's are routed to a stock air box, then to the intake.Call me an *** but it appears to me that water will get directly into the Saleen Shaker/super charger.
Just asking a simple question.......

It's at least 600 horsepower. He basically has the E motor plus whatever horsepower the ShakerCharger adds.

That is Carlos from Saleen's car. 600bhp

RE: Saleen shaker super charger
i would worry alot about runnin a true ram air intake in the rain.your sucking in air threw the shaker in this design and water will go in just as easy.you will in a heavy down poor suck in alot of water. the stock air boxand most intakes still havealot of stuff blocking the air and water before it gets suckedin. the other thing your adding to the shaker now is atwinscrew and that is going tosuck in alot more air than a n/a car to begin with. with more air going in itthere will be morerain watergoing in as well.any one who thinks other wise buy one and try it out. i would love to be proved wrong 
ps in the pic from the link there is no visible screen or any thing to deal with water going in. nor does it show any place it can collect or drain.

RE: Saleen shaker super charger
What you are looking at is not the final model, I've seen the final version and it will be displayed at fabulous fords. The top (under the shaker) will look very similar to a the PJ set up. Yes, we have tested it in the rain and it's fine. Trust me it was one of the first things we talked about when we thought about any potential hang ups. Rest assured, as an OE manufacturer, we make sure our product can stand up to everything! The hole should be in the exact same spot as the CDC shaker.
Carlos' engine is a 302 SC Motor with a tremec T-56 trans, it has the shaker charger with a custom pulley. 600 is probably a conservative number but a dyno would not give a real accurate horse power number due to the nature of the shaker (keep in mind with this set up, the faster you go, the more PSI you can get and its cooling a hell of alot better). But, we should have some dyno numbers on that beast pretty soon!

2nd edit: I'm really jazzed about this product and I'm really looking forward to it's release. I probably won't be able to get one right off the bat but would definately like to upgrade my SC with this maybe in a year or so. Also, I think it's cool as hell to see someone from Saleen posting in this forum.
