This might take off in a couple different directions here, but bare with me.....
I don't think it's a matter of Saleen engineers not being able to construct a better intake at this point. It likely because the 2V powered Mustang is 3-years gone now and it's not feasible for them to go back to the drawing board and knock out another design when the 3V engine is what’s making them all of the money at this point. Unless you absolutely had to keep the Saleen kit, I'd start from scratch with the entire Tork Tech unit from the get go and save myself the headache of all that custom work. Trust me, I've customized everything on my REV I Allen kit from one end to the other and it's still not making anywhere near the amount of power it should to justify the effort and additional cost.
The Tork Tech kits on the other hand are where it's at IMO and the absolute best choice right now for a 2V powered Mustang. The Eaton M112 Tork Tech kit seems every bit as capable as the kit utilizing the 2.1L Twin screw being put out by Kenne Bell (at least to the point where forged internals will need to be used), it comes with a better selection of supporting components as
standard equipment and is way...way better priced! I sat down and priced it out one day and after comparing the 9psi intercooled Tork Tech kit to the Kenne Bell 2.1L kit and the additional suporting components you'd need to buy for it for an equal comparison, there was something like an $1,800 difference between the two!!! Yeah, I’ve heard the arguments about Twin Screw efficiency over the Eaton but numbers don’t like. I’ve seen 9psi Kenne Bell kits barely able to crack 370rwhp and 14lb kits unable to break 440rwhp. The Tork Tech units are making those same numbers with the M112 and aren’t charging you an arm and a leg to do so. If big power is what you're after, the TVS blower swap is literally less than half the cost of the 2.6L blower swap for the Kenne Bell 2V kit and it seems every bit as capable.....and still clears the stock hood line!!!
You watch, once this Tork Tech kits catch on you're gonna see a lot of the other manufacturers drop their prices like a stone, just to keep up. If it were me, I’d be littering this kit on ever single issue of MM&FF and 5.0L & Super Fords until the cows came home. It’s advertising (or the lack of) that makes or breaks a company, not product. Do you guys honestly believe that a company like Kenne Bell puts out the superior product compared to the rest? Allen Engine Development was proof that a lack of advertising will kill a dream. Their REV II manifold and 5th Generation M90 design was probably one of the best out there for those looking for something in street level trim. It easily hung with the early Kenne Bell 1.7L and current 2.1L twin screw kits into the 400hp range, but their lack of motivation to push the product and make people know of it’s existence led to their demise (that and poor management as far as I’m concerened). Most people I know never even heard of the company?
I firmly believe if they would have sunk more money inter advertising, they could have been one of the leaders in 2V performance right now.
...end of rant.
I was leaning that route but I have a truck note that is kickin my ass for 3 years! so I kinda wanted to mod this motor and S2 charger till I can actually built a motor or buy a built shortblock and then really boost it up.
I started to price it all out--- still need a few things, fuel pump and injectors and MAF I think.

at the end of the day if I can get near 400rwhp from the S2 I would be happy for the S2 charger.
Sorry, im just trying to do my homework. You know...
