even without the supercharger it has 620 HP... just IMAGINE if Saleen decided to supercharge it.... it would be an excessive amount of power... almost too much for anyone who would buy it to be able to handle... so im good without a s.c. on it for now haha

Just for comparison, the Z06's LS7 is a 2V and naturally aspirated... and that's good for 505hp... so it's definitely possible.

IT IS SUPERCHARGED

And it's a 3v stroked to a 302

You can see the pulley under the shaker in one of the pics. And if you look up the engine specs in google it says it's a supercharged 302. That engine would never make 620hp naturally aspirated. And the whole "Super Shaker" thing is Saleen's new way of feeding air to the supercharger. Instead of having a cold air intake looking thing like others.
