I am the specialty vehicle advisor for my dealership, and naturally I deal with 90% Saleen customers. All of them crave more power, and are dissatisfied with the 5lb twin screw setup that Saleen offers in their SC model. Almost all want to go with a 13lb KB kit, and when I advise them that they'll need to reinforce the motor, but they tell me that their shop is assuring them that the stock internals will handle it. Isn't that kind of boost going to net them at least 525 crank? They are being told the setup will net them 600+hp. Seems a little high. I'm pretty sure that they'll grenade sooner or later. From my education on this engine I am sure 450 crank is what the stock block will handle. Am I wrong? What will they need to be safe?
