If you buy it directly from Saleen; they are asking $5,699.99.

if you join team saleen for $75, you get 10% off all purchases. that makes the blower about $5200

I don't know if you've made your decision or not, but for what it's worth here goes:

I am contemplating the same thing and I just got off the phone with Tim from Steeda. They will be realeasing their blower in about 2-3 weeks. It is an Eaton 112 (i think) like the ones on the lightning.

You might want to give them a call just to find out before you purchase...

I am in no way affiliated with Steeda, but I do buy their parts (I have them on my '06 and my '04 Cobra) and I've never had a problem with anything from them...

I am looking for a little boost as well for an '06, how do this engines handle boost?? I won't fry it by putting 4-5psi will I?

4-5 is conservative. the saleen uses about 4 psi with its stock spuercharger. they need to be able to warranty the engine for 3/36. it has been proven reliable so far. some people that up the boost have had problems. most of them had over 430+ rwhp.

Would you happen to have any more info on this blower kit from Steeda? Are they developing their own kit in-house?

 

['02MysticBlue]

I don't have any more info. Call steeda and ask them. I had called about some other stuff and thats when they told me about it. It is supposed to be the Lightning S/C modified for use on the 05/06 engine. If it is anywhere as nice as the stock blower on my '04 Cobra, I will be really happy and buy it...

I do believe they are developing it inhouse with help from Ford (They have pretty good relations with Ford from what I understand.)

I have to call theem later today for some more suspension parts. I'll ask them again and post back what I learn...
