Killer,
was that with the stock tune provided by KB or a custom tune by Adam??
birdie, agreed but it goes back to price, how much more you have to spend to get the saleen to do that
killer...one other thing, what about the placement of the air intake, i pulled the trigger on the KB but i'm still wondering if thats going to get wet down there or what??

Pulley up that Saleen blower with the same size pulley on the KB, and marvel at the #'s. It will make as much or more power than the KB.
BTW - the bone stock KB s/c GT put down 490 rwhp on the dyno last night. This car has NO mods at all other than the s/c kit for KB. Saleen what??????????

RE: WE'LL SEE WHAT THIS 3V CAN HANDLE
I don't know birdie, this is only the 8 psi kit. 490 is pretty impressive with 8psi. Of course the saleen will perform when you pulley up, I wish someone would have the ***** to do it so I could see the numbers. You always know what's going on, are there any links you can give showing anyone taking advantage of the Saleen power? I've looked but can't find anything above ordinary. I know the saleen potential, just haven't found anyone who's done it yet. I'm curious myself to see equal boost comparisons.

realize im not pro Saleen per se, I'm pro twin screw.

..chevykiller= I'm doing something like that. 2 days ago my tuner and I installed the KB bap and the HTO plugs.. next week we will install the maf extender and a smaller pully. We are going to try to set the max rpm to 6200-6400 and try to get more power at the lower rpms. I want to try to keep the power at 500-510rwhp and not more. I will reach that or blow
.. before we put on the smaller pully we will do a tune without it and see what the base kit can get.. I didnt get a bap when I first got my SC. Its up to us to prove ourselfs to birdieman and the rest of the world .aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

RE: WE'LL SEE WHAT THIS 3V CAN HANDLE
I'm with ya Lost Soul, but I have to take birdie's side on this one. yes, I'm over 500 rwhp, but it's taking me 13-14 psi to get it. The KB car is bone stock and making close to it with 8 psi. If the car had my other mods, it would be easily be beyond me with 8 psi. That's a whole lot less strain on the motor. I only wish they had ANY screw blowers when I built my car. I'm doing what I can with the Vortech, but I can only imagine the kind of power I could make with the saleen or KB. I would love to see those blowers pushing around 10 psi and making 550+ to the ground.
Perhaps we will see something in the next couple months. It is tough to say cause it wil have to be on a GT with a saleen s/c kit. I highly doubt anyone with a saleen car is going to push anything beyond the norm with their car. Not that I blame them, I just don't see it cause I wouldn't do it either. Too bad though, the screw guys don't even know what they're sitting on and most don't have the ***** to find out. It's comon sense, really - if the procharger and vortech cars are holding up with 9-10 psi average, why the heck would you be scared to set your saleen at 8 or 9 psi?
Hopefully birdie is right and we'll see something soon. In the meantime, I'm still pissed over the fuel issues but we'll at least be able to offer an awesome dual return system in a few weeks cause it's definitely needed. I know the pro guys have had to fab something up to make their cars work but there just not sharing yet.

I am not anti centrifugal. Hell, I have a Procharger on my 01. Both centrifugals and screws have their advantages and dis-advantages. Having used both types, the screw gives you more balance overall. And I do think Procharger's kit is the best centrifugal kit out there.
