Default Anyone buying a supercharger

Don't buy a Saleen.They SUCK. I just wasted several thousand dollars on a series IV for my 04' GT. I can't even admit the brutal hp gains with this piece of **** !!!

I would have went with a KB personally but I heard that the saleens were not that bad... are you sure you had it tuned correctly.. maybe a different shop can get more out of it.

Maybe it your tune like shadowfoxx said. Get a good tune and if its still crap call saleen. Just cool off and think it out.

+1 the Saleen charger isnt a bad deal for the money......and its made by Whipple i believe which is not crap by any means.....how much psi are you running? maybe you need a re tune

I had it tuned by a Mustang tuner who came highly recommended.He does alot of race engines.And specializes
in Supercharged Mustangs.All I could get out of it was 297 RWHP. What a joke.

that is not right, the tuner either screwed up or there is something not installed right, the saleen charger is supposed to be one of the better sc's

Mustang Dyno or Dynojet?

What injector size are you running? What fuel pump? What PSI? Do you have a dynosheet?

Damn I was 40 seconds slow...[>:] The biggest question is the one at the top. Mustang Dynos generally show lower numbers than a Dynojet.
