will the stock tranny hold up with a saleen supercharger but i kno im gonna have to get a betterh clutch

there are plenty of people using a slaeen s/c with the stock clutch and works fine, it just depends all on how hard you are going to drive it really.

SikGT

Yes the stock clutch will work fine. Just expect to replace it sooner cause SC symptoms include a heavy foot, multiple speed contests and so on.

So far I have not had any problems but it has only been a couple of weeks, but you shouldreplace the clutch. Its best to replace the clutch before the SC is bolted down, it will save you some money on the clutch install.

My automatic tranny didn't hold up. The third gear clutch bands were worn to nothing. Cost me 1600 bucks to have it beefed up with aftermarket parts.

i wanted to have a supercharger that has an intercooler because im live in new york and ther is always traffic but i need something thats going to be a good dail driver but i guess that the saleen makes such low boost that u really dont need an intercooler.

The Saleen comes with an intercooler that is one reason why it can make such power with so little boost. I drive my car everyday without any problems.

a little advice...if you're going this route, pick up a decent shifter. I'm under 300rwhp and sent my second gear into oblivion via missing a bunch of second-gear shifts...the trans lasted 90 days and 3500 miles. I'd hate to think what REAL power would have done

I have a hurst love the way it looks, but not crazy about the feel, if you are going to change the shifter and race at the track I would look at a Pro 5.0 or MGW and not the hurst. I may be pulling mine out this week.

well i got injured on the job and getting about 10 grand so im either gonna finish up the payments on it or buy the supercharger and finish out the 5 year loan. but i was also gonna get a kooks longtubes with bassani catted x and corsa mufflers, and im still debating whether or not to get the mgw or the 5.0 shifter, i want to feel smooth when shifting, not rough.and was also gonna get the msd coil pack, and maybe the steeda delete plates but still debating.
