If you are just cruising around and not going to be tracking the car......a twin screw probably would be the way to go if you want to spend the extra bucks. Out of your choices listed, I would go with the Whipple because not only does it put out a lot of power.....it is how a blower should look!

Tousley Ford has the Whipple for about $6300 shipped...best price I have seen so far.....but you can not go wrong with the Roush M90 for that price. You missed out on a sale AM had on the HO V2 Vortech (polished).....they had this kit for only about $3750. I came so close to buying it.....and I really figured out I want a Saleen Super Shaker.

Doing my research on it you'll go up from ~370 to around ~420 whp. Pretty cool, but it's also about the limit of what you can achieve with the M90. Not that you want to venture further anyway without forging.

Guess it would be possible to underpully a saleen or equivalent till you have money to forge your internals. But again, I don't know this to be possible.

Longtubes and cams will give you more as well.

I would say if u got a saleen or a similar setup u could upgrade and not be to worried about trying to grow. u may thing right now that your not gonna forge and then a month or two down the road you ride in a car that has 650hp. That may change your mind. I say keep yourself prepared for the notion of more power.

Don't ride in the car with 650hp.

Problem solved.

We have the same Whipple kit and I'm running 12 psi also. Thanks!
Unfortunately, that's the one thing a timeslip won't tell you. I have a G-tech, but I don't have 100% faith in its 0-60 estimates. All I can say for sure is that if you're on the right tires, you can easily pull 0-60 times below 4 seconds with our setups.
