The Saleen didn't have the ultimate power potential of the KB or Whipple, so it was first off the list. I may never attempt to build a motor and run 20+ psi, but it's nice to know I can. I decided against the KB after seeing one in action at the drag strip. It performed great, but heat soaked terribly. The guy who owned it was waiting almost 45 minutes between runs and it was still hot to the touch. I also like that Whipple includes a dual fuel pump assembly in their kit rather than a boost-a-pump.
Thanks guys I really apprecirae all of the responses! And I know they are both great kits, but that over heating turns me off from the kb and I like the idea of the dual pumps from whipple. Also the whipple has a nice whine right?

I would go whipple for sure because of the dual pumps. I was thinking of selling the M90 i have now and going for a whipple.

I'm planning on a Kenne Bell but that's after I build the motor, trans and rear so it'll be a looooooooooong time! lol. All kits have great reviews and it's nice to know about the dual pump assembly that the whipple has. Making me re-think my future mods. Onederful100, those are some sexy pics my man!

I researched several forums and found nothing but good reviews on the Whipple kit. The reviews, power output, and fuel system were deciding factors for me. I'm very happy with my decision!
