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
All cars' hp ratings are at the crank. The typical difference in rwhp to crank hp is 15%. -But, that is the minimum the car should ever have vs its hp rating. If a car company puts out a car that is rated at 100 hp, it should make no less than 85 rwhp. Take the cobra fiasco a few years back. This is grounds for lemon lawing. But, often times cars make more rwhp than the 15% rule would dictate. Those cars are underrated, like the 05 gt. 300 hp advertised, but most dyno 270-280 rwhp. The new S281sc is rated at 400 hp, but it looks like they will be dynoing 350+ rwhp. This will be at 5 lbs of boost. Run 8 lbs, and all of a sudden the car makes around 50+ more rwhp.

I live in Olathe, Kansas and drive past ATI (Procharger) everyday on my way to work. I had a Procharger on my 2000 GT and even with Procharger being in my back yard practically we never got the tune right and it eventually blew the engine. I also had problems with the blower unit, and infact one tuner in the area thinks it was leaking oil into the motor witch caused to engine to blow.

They make great power up top, but horrible down below. For reliability and streetability I would suggest a twin screw...for maximum output and the dyno queen, go with the procharger. Just forge the internals or do not put it past 8lbs.

well. I just bought it yesterday!! So once i get it installed I'll definitely keep you guys posted. Unfortunately I can't talk about price, because of an agreement between the dealer and myself. But I will say that I got an amazing deal on it! Man I can't wait!![sm=happy046.gif]

KB has not put out any kits yet for the 05. They are working on it, but nothing is imminent. I e-mailed them almost a month ago and that was the information that was given to me. Go their website (www.kennebell.net) and find the e-mail address and ask again.

When I go with the twin screw, Saleen will be the way I go, at least as it stands now.
