Lemme get this straight: The owner has problems with the engine so he brings it back to Saleen. And someway or another, they decided the best thing to do was to boost up the turbo to make the engine produce 1000hp? Wouldn't that result in more engine problems?
Seems as if that guy took advantage of the warranty and somehow got an engine upgrade out of it, heh.

I am not sure were everyone thinks this is a 1000 hp car,it is not, it is 850 with the lemans aero package. Still stuipidly fast, and alot of down force
"We think we could get 1000bhp out of this engine, revving to 9500 or 10,000. You'd probably then be able to do 250-255mph, but it would be hard to meet the required emission standards, in order to be able to homologate such an engine."
Gordon Murray about the Mclaren F1
"The 787B was reported to have a redline around 9000rpm. However, interviews with Mazda's 787B race engineers revealed that the power of the quad-rotor increased dramatically above 9000rpm. One engineer stated that the car could develop more than 930hp with a redline around 10500rpm. They also discovered that all aspects of the engine were still in excellent condition and could have run another 24-hour race"

The 1000 hp looks the same, as it gets the Lemans Aero package

that's probably the worst excuse i ever heard to increase horsepower. wanna know something? you can actually go to a saleen dealer and actually get 1000hp from your s7tt yourself. motor trend acknowledged a while back. this is not a one make model. the downside is who the hell cares? you're already going wicked fast and you won't need 1000hp that you can't control unlike the veyron.

Because he doesn't know how to modulate the gas/ use a manual/ drive without ABS and traction control.

Saleen probably rebuilt the entire engine for him, and then the owner decided that since his car was already in the shop, maybe the 1000hp power package was a good idea.

Either way you or I look at it, albeit to say it looks this or that or even performs like this or that is one thing, but one things for shore we would absolutely love to say, "yes, after you're done rebuilding it could you put on the 1000hp package, too." But alas we can't, but regardless of all that, I love this machine in the way it performs and looks. It's America at it's best.......YEAH, BABY!!!

I think they increased the boost cuz it was only at 5.5psi before. but the problem was oil starvation. the last one that was just sold by my house said that it had dry sump as a new feature.
