    Talking Supercharged

    So I am finally supercharged!!!! I put a Saleen series II which is an eaton M90 with a few upgrades it made 356rwhp its 100 more rwhp than before. Cant wait to get it back Monday and start enjoying the car again. I took the car to B&D racing they seem like great guys and took the blower off my friends car to put his KB. Just thought I would share the news with you all.

    It has a chicane 66mm pulley, chicane cold air intake, SS intercooler lines from chicane and a SVT focus pump

    with a few other mods like tork tech intake, injectors, chicane intercooler, port, and LFP heatexchanger I can put it at 420rwhp easy but not sure if i will do that or just leave it as is and focus the $$ on something else like another project

    So I got my 02 Saleen back when I was still in high school I as an incentive to go straight to a four year instead of doing the community college thing first. I got my car and was in love as soon as I laid eyes on it. I slowly began to drive it here and there when the weather was nice since it has never seen rain it barely even sees sunlight. When I do take the car out I like to hit the canyons with it and put the Saleen suspension to work but after a few close calls and seeing what others have done to their cars I decided to start saving for modifications.

    First I did some exhaust work to make it louder and then I found out I was bit by the mod bug. I have been doing things to it ever since starting with the Baer brake setup in March which is a BIG improvement from the stock GT breaks that the car had. I was happy for about a month before I wanted more so I began to look for a new hood. I was looking for about four months and was going to settle for an 03/04 hood but a fellow Saleen owner turned me on to an extreme hood that was for sale and I jumped on it. After that I cooled off for about another four to five months then I bought a supercharger and now I am saving for the interior thinking of some Saleen Recaros or some corbeaus with some custom stitching.






    Before ^^

    And finally back

    Nice! I like your choice of enhancing the stopping power with the 6-piston Baers before building the rocket speed of the blower Do you have an pics of the Eaton install? I think you started a thread on the brakes that Marlon installed for you but, not sure... I'll go check.

    No I have no pics of the install. I have to go back and get some parts that I left there soon and I hope they did take pictures like they said and they give them to me. I did start a thread about my brakes and I have a ton of pictures of that install.

    Post 'em up in the first post you made in brake thread. That would make a good article.
