Tell the owner if you still can get in contact with them to look into the intercooler heatshield. These stock intercoolers are good up to about 450whp but they'll never make it unless the gaps around the IC in the manifold are blocked off and all the air is forced through it. A guy in the Saleen community makes them and they work very well. My car with the less efficient Series 2 Magnuson MP90 never sees over 130 degrees and thats down here in Florida. In fact my car is usually around 25-30 degrees at most over ambient while cruising, and never over 130 while at peak boost even after multiple back to back pulls. May be something he would want to invest in. Its $225 for it and I could put him in contact with the guy who makes them. That car could easily be at the 400whp+ mark with those mods. It beats spending $900 on an upgraded intercooler for that manifold if one can even be found. It's not too terrible of an install either.
@@videogazer801 I haven’t seen cars with the series 4 making 500. I’ve seen up to about 450 or so with them on E and all the bolt ones and some cooling system upgrades
@@904Saleen 450 isn’t too bad. I have that same car, but in auto, stock pulleys, stock exhaust, fully stock besides that blower. I’m assuming 270 rwhp since it’s an auto.
I went with a vortech supercharger on my 99 GT but it came with a 3.6 pulley and 36 lb injectors and I bought a 3.33 pulley and 42 lb injectors and I also had full length headers and off road h pipe and 3.73 gears. I installed a center force dual friction clutch and upper and lower control arms and sub frame connectors and a new tune on 93 octane. I went with nitto drag radials since I drive it to the track but it still spins like crazy but definitely lots of fun
My 22' GT 5.0 makes more than that while bone stock down to the air filter. It blows my mind that you think that's so impressive from your built F-body 🥴
@jaronhunt8229 He's talking about his built car making more than this older vehicle. Good to see you were too slow to pick up on the nuance. Take a hike, Arnie Grape
I've been considering buying a vlean F150 from 2008 or so with a 4.6L 2V and putting a blower on it. I saw one on a car lot once. I should have bought it.
@@krisjenkins4040 had the blower, lower boost, stock cams then also. The na 2v engines make 220ish stock on our dyno. Cammed and head work na typically make in the 270-280 area for reference.

Thanks for the info!! Ill pass that along to him. I believe he has purchased a new blower for the car though. Either way. Thank you for sharing!
Bradley, how much rwhp can that blower make? Can it make 500+ whp with a smaller pulley?

@@videogazer801 nah you should see way more than that ... i made 242 rwhp na with bolt ons and shortys

Blows my mind. He is less than 400hp with a twin screw. 🥴 my N/A Trans Am. Makes that.
Yes but he’s also done no engine work, there’s a guy on here with an 05 NA 4.6 making 500 whp before supercharger and beating the 10 spd new GTs.

_That would've been sweet way better than dealing with a 3v f150._
Surprising to see only 8-9 psi on a built bottom end 2v even on 93 why didn’t you go up in boost?
Blower is pretty close to max rpm.
@@ForceEngineering Kenne Bell 2.8 has been ordered, looking forward to seeing what it puts down next spring.
Very interested to see the power gains when the new blower is on 👍🏻
@@ForceEngineering when it made 320hp, was the blower installed with lower boost or was the 320hp while it was NA?

Sweet content. Nice gains 👏🏼💪🏼🔥
I have this same car layout. 01 ZY on Fr500s supercharged
Do the car have shorty headers or long tube headers or stock manifold?
Cool car.
Tires size? On the rear
What kinda kit is this which blower
Salween Series 4 kit.
Wow really low numbers 🤣 hopefully you guys get in the 400 range😂😂.. I broke 450rwhp with a stock 2V 4.6 and a KB 2.1L at 9PSI 🤣🤣🤣
Shoulda put that money into installing a 4v
That kinda looks like a 3 valve
Well they are both sohc 4.6 so I would expect them to look similar lol.
