I think I am going to buy an 05 when I graduate in May.
I think this would be the first mod besides exaust.

If it were me i would wait for the kenne bell to come out. they have an '05 in their shop and should have their blower released soon :burnout:

I dunno. I'm a little pissed at Kenne Bell these days. I wanted to have my 93 Flip-Chip reprogrammed for a different fuel pressure, KB doesn't support 93 chips anymore. So I ask for specs on their 80mm MAF so I can get a aftermarket ECU and dump the Flip-Chip... KB can't do that either. SO now I have to buy a new MAF and an aftermarket ECU to get around their policy decisions. Buyer beware. I'm not familiar with Saleen's customer service policy, but it has to be better than KB.

Yeah, it took them 5 years to release a 2V blower. I wouldn't hold my breath on KB.

That's an awesome blower for sure!! :burnout: Availability of this type of blower is at a premium. I seem to remember an article on the GT500 that mentioned Ford/SVT's reasoning behind not using this type of blower. The blower was not available in the quantities needed for mass production i.e. 6000 or so GT500's.
That pic of the blower on the 3V leaves me with visions of another SVT specialty car.... a "BOSS" .......no stripes..... with a functioning hood scoop......air right into that blower......on a 3 valve motor...... .heavy duty auto or 6 speed......almost the same bang for alot less buck.
:burnout: :cool: Oooops, sorry.. got a bit carried away with the topic "nice blower." :beer:

Warning!!!! As a Saleen owner, I have dealt with Saleen several times about their superchargers, upgrades, etc. They have the WORST, and I repeat, WORST customer service of any manufacturer. I have complained to Steve's wife Liz several times, but she couldn't do anything. Their body kits are terrible at best. I just had a friend purchase one for his car, and it was total junk. There were pits in the front and rear fascias that a body shop would have to literally redo the pieces to make them look presentable. When he wanted to return them, they were going to charge him a 30% restocking fee. As far as blowers go, did you notice what kind of blower I have in my Saleen? Not a Saleen blower! I waited 2 months, as my car sat in a shop torn apart, waiting for Saleen to deliver their Series IV supercharger to me, which was promised in about a week. Needless to say, they gave me the runaround and I bought a KB. I hate to "slam" Saleen, but they have only given me headaches when trying to deal with them.
**One sidenote......Liz has helped me with small requests such as autographs which is very nice of her.

I have heard similar things from other saleen owners about their products and service. Most notably their improper fitting body kits.
Either way. In the end, you wound up with one spectacular looking car! And the Kenne bell definitely looks at home on there.
I have only seen pictures of your car, but cant wait to see it in person. :beer:

More and more blower cars are coming out and damn those heads are awsome!!!!
Shop down south aways:
MPH tunes an 05 supercharged car
All I can say is damnnnnnnnnnnnnn these 05's are bad to the bone.I tuned a Procharged 05 with 9 psi.
Diablo tuned it made 444rwhp and 407TQ..After we got done tuning it the car put down 495rwhp and 429tq..I pulled it down to 480rwhp just to get it away from 500rwhp.The car would have gone 500rwhp easily if I had fuel.We ran out @ 6300rpm and it was still pulling.
I have a Mongoose tune now for the 05's so you will see a Vortech/paxton kit shortly.
Don't ask timing,cause I'll never tell.
