Default Saleen Supercharger?

I posted about a month ago about a Kenne Bell Supercharger. But my intelligent father reminded me that I have a Saleen Dealer very near me. So I was wondering what you guys though of those superchargers. I have a 10% off cupon for parts from the dealer and I would not have to pay shipping. So. . .

How are the Saleen Superchargers?

Anyone know a ballpark of expected hp/torque gains?

Anything else about it I should know that I'm not asking, and opinions about it. Preferably complaints, because if you cant talk me out of something, then it must not be bad. lol

One more thing, my car has a squeak in the rear. I replaced the shocks, quad shocks, struts(I know they are in the front), break pads, checked to make sure wheels are on tight, upper and lower CA''s, checked the exhaust hangers to make sure the pipes wernt bouncing around, and the driveshaft(I replaced the drive shaft for other reasons). Any other ideas what it could be?

The only thing I think it could be is the exhaust pipes. Since the bend that goes above the rear axle is very close to the body on the passenger side. I think maybe it rubs, that I would expect that to cause a thud not a squeak.

Thanks

ballpark hp and trq gains would be 360/375 to the crank with no mods at all

IDK there was that one guy on here with a Saleen supercharger running 12psi and he was only making 294rwhp. That just disgusted me, I would say if you want a positive displacement go with a Kenne Bell.

Well as it turns out the Saleen would cost me more money, and the dealer would just order it from Saleen. So Kenne Bell it is. Not if I only had a way to get the money faster. Does anyone want to give me money? Or how about a car I could sell. lol

What's his trap? That's far more than I've heard of on any other saleen supercharger on a 99-00 GT.

I check out Saleen before I bought my ProCharger. They cost a lot more to install and upgrade. To upgrade the pulley the dealer told me I would not only have to buy the 36 lbs fuel injectors in the kit, but an additional set of 42 lbs injectors and an additional pulley. They said to change the fuel injectors later they would have to pull the supercharger and you couldn't buy the kit without the 36 lbs injectors.

If I were going to buy a twin-screw supercharger I'd go Kenne Bell.
