He used to work for ford and he noticed anyone needing a replacement SC for their Saleen the order went to Whipple not Saleen and even now I talked to a friend that works at a Saleen dealership and he says the SC is a whipple on the S197 SC Saleens...and my friend Tom (3 cobras) has two 2.4L KB and the older model Whipple...just curious how much HP will the new whipple make with the I/C kit at 10psi

Talk to Jared if interested. Go to Whipples site to get a better description of the kit. because it comes with a Ford Racing tuner and a GT500 fuel pump.
Sooo what part of the vid made you change your mind?
