you say it is super charged, where is it, not in the pics. I dont see it anywhere, maybe its set up under the plastic, I guess, not really understanding that tho, supercharger is usually up top up front. So not sure how there fitting it down lower. Same intake and everything, certainly doesnt look supercharged to me. But oh well.
Trust me, it's s/c'd it sits right over the engine. Saleen uses a twin screw s/c. It's smaller than the roots type s/c. Look closely @ the 2nd pic. It got red writing on it.

Personally, I think they should have just put a manifold cover on, and left it at that. The side covers look tacky IMO.

You say its supercharged but the intake runners are in clear view as is the throttle body and air filter setup.

You dont place a roots/whipple/screw supercharger below the intake runners, the top of the manifold is flat so no supercharger there.

There is no centrifugal supercharger either as evidenced by the intake plumbing from throttle body to airboz in clear view.

Also the alternator is in the stock location and hinders the belt location for the supercharger. You can also see the belt on the alternator and it doesnt appear to wrap around any supercharger drive.

Perhaps this is a show car w/o the supercharger.

It has to the lowest profile supercharger I've ever seen. We will just have to wait for better pictures from Saleen.

Thats the pic. It's right there, just above the oval for the intake runners.

Heres a pic of the s281 supercharged engine:s281 s/c

Does anyone know if the "unveiling" will be broadcast over the internet today? Can we see it from the webcams @ the show? Thanks.
