Kenne Bell or Saleen
I apologise in advance. This could very well be on this forum, however the search is not working for me. I had pretty much decided on the Saleen, but today I was looking at KB's website and other articles and has got me debating again. Once again I apologise and I know I am only adding to the never ending supercharger posts.

RE: Kenne Bell or Saleen
i've read quite abit about both kits and
both are excellent. you will need to do a
little more research and decide on your
own which one will fit your current and
future plans for the car.
you'll be happy with either one.

RE: Kenne Bell or Saleen
i was in the same boat as you are right now, but honestly with JDM workingso muchwith saleen's and pushing awesome numbers to the wheels on a safe tune, i just couldnt pass that up. honestly i dont think you could go wrong with either one.

RE: Kenne Bell or Saleen
I would go with Saleen of those two, but now that I see more and more reviews about the Whipple, I would go with that. The Whipple seems to have thet best number's and they are very safe. A month ago I would not have suggested anything else besides the Saleen, but now I would highly suggest you take a look at the Whipple.

RE: Kenne Bell or Saleen
My choice was Whipple, they make OEM SC's for Ford including GT and GT500 so they should know Ford, at 10PSI it makes 475HP at the wheel at 5800rpm while KB has to increase the red line to 6200 or 6500 to make slightly less power at 11PSI, I am not 100% sure about this but I think I read it when I was reserching before buying mine. at any rate both manufacturers have dyno charts in their web pages. Also the whipple includes the GT500 pump which is worth about $900 alone but also makes the installation a little bit more complicated vs. KB boost a pump.
The Saleen looks good tho, but that's it IMHO.
