If you do the PI swap then yes the supercharger should fit.

my motor has 197k on it but runs strong, i want to do a rebuild but don't know it i should go forged or not
is it worth it if i go with this blower
can i get to 450-500rwhp with this setup
is it really hard to do this engine build by myself i have some experience and a friend that knows quite a bit

what is CAI
Cold Air Intake, i would suggest going forged if you're gonna run that high of horse power, just to be on the safe end.

you wont see anything around 400hp at the crank.I have a KB2.2L at 15psi with a buy engine and im only a mid 500rwhp car w/o nitrous. saleen superchargers are a M90(unefficient). depending on which type of saleen supercharger II is a piece of ****. the other one is a little better but still a waste of money. i think u should just rebuild it and do a PI swap on that thing and some minor bolt ons and you will be happy.
