RE: Supercharger horsepower question
About 71/2 to 8 lately. I have seen 91/2 with this pulley though. I have the larger injectors, intercooler etc. I just had a AEM A/F gauge installed and it reads a little on the rich side when at WOT. I did chirp all the way through 3rd gear while racing someone with my Mickey Thompson's, so I quess I can't complain. I've heard of people running high 11's with a S/C. That would be nice.

RE: Supercharger horsepower question
Wally was your dyno on a Dyno jet or a mustang Dyno? Reason being is there is usually about a 10% difference between the 2. Example being if you pull 440RWHP on a Dynojet you will pull approx 400RWHP on a mustang jet. My numbers in my sigwere on a Dyno jet.

RE: Supercharger horsepower question
i think that is with about 10 - 11psiof
boost (or ~ 450 rwhp) and drag radials
if i'm not mistaken..... and i think that gets
your et to around 11.8 - 11.9

Remember that the parts work as a whole, if you are not experiencing fuel starvation or lean conditions at wot, then the fuel system is ok.
If you are expecting more power from your current setup, I think the only way to go is to get a custom dyno tune, it will tell you if your car is running rich or lean and how much power they can squeeze out of your engine as is.
Then if you want to go with more boost you'll have to ask Saleen what they recommend, but IMHO after 6 psi you'll want an intercooler, and after 8PSI probably new larger injectors and a new tune. After 10/12PSI you'll need a new rotating assembly, tune, maybe even larger injectors etc. it all depends on what you want to do, how far you can go, and how much you want to spend.

Sorry Cheftjpeck,at the time I posted, Wally39 hadnt said what type of Saleen supercharger or boost level he was talking about, and honestly Iam not familiar with every kit out there so I just stated facts that applyto every TS SC. I dont think that just assuming that a particular kit does not includethis or thatis a reason to upset someone, but for what is worth I apologize for my misconception.

RE: Supercharger horsepower question
A dyno is a TUNING TOOL!!!! Don't get caught up in the # game. There are to many variables. The best thing to do is stick with one dyno, keep data and the weather conditions of your runs. This way, it will helpanalyze power gains or loss.
