Very, nice. That may seriously affect the landscape of S197 forced induction.

Wow, those prices are not bad at all, especially considering the Saleen blowers' recent price hike. The kit looks complete too.

If the Saleen blower can add 100hp with 4 pounds, I wonder what a turbo could do with 9...

If I'm reading between the lines correctly, it looks like you could expect 450rwhp on pump gas at 9psi. That would be comparable to the twin screws. I know KB's blower made 445rwhp at 8psi on my tuner's car (with the KB-supplied tune). And I know several guys getting 440+ at 8psi with Saleen SCs. I'd like to see the hp/torque curves on it.

The KB's are awesome based on the info we have so far. I'm still convinced the Turbo can do more based on less drag to the engine, and less stress on lower end bearings. It will be interesting to watch this unfold.

Looks sweet

Ya know, I could test this out on my car if you guys are willing to pool some money together for me , that way we'd know for sure how good this setup really is.

I really don't want someone to spend their hard earned cash on this not knowing what it'll really produce

The kit isn't available yet, but the car has gone a best of 10.65 with minor and minor meaning MINOR mods. That's better than ANY dyno number to me! I can't wait to get out of the desert!!!!!

Nope, but thankfully because Mike did a turbo buildup, I got the headers

He does, he R&D'ed it this past race season and the V6 kit is amazing as well. Mike and Powerhouse is supposed to be in the an upcoming issue of Muscle Mustangs and fast fords. They are supposed to have the Baddest 05
