its an eaton m90 blower roots style, thats all it is.its like the old thunderbird blowers, for what THR is charging i would deffinatly NOT buy it and for a couple hundred dollars more you can get your self a KENNE BELL big bore 2.7L blower, way better than the Saleen

First of all, that is the series IV which is made by Whipple and was standard equip on the last couple years of the new edge S281SC, prior to that the supercharger used was a roots type.....and for this application the Kenne Bell 2.1 would be the best choice, not the larger competition only blowers(that require a built motor,fuel upgrades etc)The two blowers are both good quality. If money is an issue, the Saleen series IV is a good choice

Its not an eaton style, its a screw style. I still would not go with it, as it comes with crappy (30 lb/hr) injectors and a big price tag. I would either stick with KB or if money is an issue a centri like a paxton/ati/vortech.

yea if i went twin screw/roots style id definitely just do it right and get a KB. with Saleen i think youre paying for "Saleen" and not getting as much for your money as you could.
