Default Any 98 GT w/pi swap using SaleenIV blower?

Hi guys,

I am trying to decide on which S/C I want, and I need to know if any PI swap cars are running the Saleen blower, were there any fitment issues. I seem to remember something a bot the heat shield on hood rubbing or some thing.. I would also like some performance info as well.

Thanks

If your gonna spend that much money for the Saleen you should just get the Kenne Bell.

You are right, I may do that. I have to see where I am HP wise before I decide anything. I am not forging the bottom end so 380RWHP is the max I will go. So I have to get my heads , cams just right or I will be too low to compensate or too high to add s/c. Right now I am waiting on answers from a couple shops about s/c hp outputs, yadda, yadda. I think with slightly ported heads and blower cams the Bell would put me over 380. I think his numbers are conservative. But without them I would be at 350 or a little less. It's a hard decision and big money.

remember the compression issues if u aren't going to change pistons
the pi swap will up ur compression and make it harder to run a blower

Well if your now gonna consider a KB and 380hp is as far as you wan't to go then i wouldn't even do the heads. Get the 9psi KB kit with some blower cams and that should get you there.

i agree...you won't even have to touch your heads if you plan on doing a blower. Which ever blower you decide (Vortech, KB, Procharger, Novi), up the boost a little, throw in some blower cams, an intercooler to be safe and you should reach your goal...i agree with the guys, i wouldn't waste my money on the saleen blower.

i would do the intake and some custom grind cams...the heads won't be necessary to achieve your goal
