So I am having a dilemma. I am wanting to take the next step and add a power adder to my setup. All of my sponsors like the idea and so do a few others I have talked to about becoming sponsored. So here it is...

The goal for my car is to make it a 10 second car at sea level, and be able to swap the wheels/tires and take it to a show....and win haha...

So here is what I have been told by American Muscle/JPC/Fastlane/etc..
I need 600+rwhp and a set of slicks. So working on that 600+ rwhp number. My options are:
Local Shop Speed Mafia
$4500 single rear mount turbo installed. Gauges, everything I need/want, fully upgraded.
or some type of procharger at the same price...

I cannot do the Hellion or Fastlane kit since I have ARH LTs, and I like them haha.

Kenne Bell 2.8 LC $6449
with 168 mm TB upgrade $799
8 rib kit $499
10 lb pulley free
$60 for 60 lb injectors
with a discount it comes to a total of $7026.30
I will still want my gauges, wideband, etc.. so a couple hundred more to that price for this one...And add a custom tune..

Kits for 700hp from Evolution are $7700 for a upgraded ford racing whipple.. no gauges etc... They say no one can beat their tune which comes with..

So yeah what do you guys think... I dont want Edelbrock/Saleen/Roush so dont mention them..

Money is an issue so lower price is better, but I want fast and reliable.. So if the money makes it that, so be it I will save up...

The shops so far have said.. Kenne Bell is $$$ but good as always, and rock solid... Roush/Saleen they think are hyped and garbage for the $$$.. Sorry if you like them.. And they think the best reliable setup is a whipple setup..

Let me hear it!!!!!!

I have to ask the question because you have no supporting evidence against the Edelbrock blower (nor is your complaint about the other two well founded), so why is it not an option? They make a rock solid unit and have fantastic customer service. That being said, I like the Whipple also. Magnuson also has a pretty sweet looking TVS supercharger for the new 5.0 that you might want to check out!

I was repeating the opinion from several shops on Roush/Saleen... Just that they are overpriced... I was told that the Edelbrock is limited to about 500 rwhp due to the intake size.. I am looking for 600+RWHP. I also dont like the look of it to be honest.. So it is out haha...

BIGPHIL

I seriously doubt the intake size is going to limit the e-force to 500rwhp. But as far as your reason for not wanting it, fair enough sir ;-) In that case, I would be looking at Whipple and KB.

My first choice is the KB of course, but the price of both of those units is $2500 more than a procharger I can get... It is a hard choice... No comments on the rear mount turbo yet haha... I cant wait for that...
