Oh one more thing: did you have to change the engine mounts to fit the Saleen under the hood?

But that came with desireable side-effects (stiffer mounts act like torque-limiters and help with shifitng under load).

Awesome! Did you install the S/C yourself? Gotta get rid of that stock rubber and maybe get some LCA's and I think you would be a lot happier with the traction issues.

How does the SC sound? Does it whine? I heard the Magnacharger in a video and don't think i could deal with that whine. Does the Saleen tap into the engine oil or is it self lubricated like the Magnacharger?
Congrats on getting blown! =)

The SC is dead quiet. Too quiet actually. I had visions of being able to scare small children on the street with the SC noise, but you basically never know it is there until you throttle into it. Inside the car I can not hear it at all. Yesterday I went homw ith the top down and I could slightly hear it if I hammered the throttle. I wish it was louder. Right now it is totally stealth.
The Saleen does not enter the oil system. The blower has its own oil.

Thanks for the info! I love the way the Saleen looks under the hood. I'm thinking i want one sometime in the future. Either that or the PH turbo. Oh one more thing: did you have to change the engine mounts to fit the Saleen under the hood?

Nope. It fit fine. I was worried about it... as it is close, but it does not hit. I've got about 500 miles on it so far. No issues at all.

RE: Saleen SC install
Sorry to hijack the thread but...
I was wondering on the Saleen how often do you have to change the oil on it??? And is it a PITA??? I know I'm a long ways off from FI, but I'm in between the Saleen and the Powerhouse turbo...I like the way the Saleen install looks, and you can still use long tubes, which I kinda plan on doing before FI, if I go with the Saleen that is. Also, any one know how much you can turn the Saleen up?? I'm kinda shooting to (in a couple of years, most likely when I get out of college) hit the 500rwhp mark (yes, forged internals will go in) Can the saleen make that no problem?? I guess its just a pully swap and tune away right??

Ahh, thanks! That's good to know. I'd rather it was silent. The only thing I like to hear is the exhaust. I like to surprise people. =)
