They are all good at what they do...........it is up to the individual what they want........that is why we all drive Ford's and others drive Chevy's it's like the same thing.

I voted for the saleen over the KB. I know the KB has more potential and it's easy to swap the pulley, but I just don't like the look of it and I hear it runs hotter than other twin screws. If I wanted to be the fastest then I'd vote kb.

There's nothing wrong with a paxton or vortech, but I didn't like some of the stories I read about previous models needing to be rebuilt after only a few thousand miles.

I also heard that the KB runs hotter. Heat = less efficiency.

I didn't vote since I don't own any of the S/Cs mentioned but for power, go KB or Procharger, for reliablity I lean more torward the Saleen or Whipple. The only beef I have with KB is everytime I hear of someone upping the boost on a KB they snap a tensioner or throw a belt. All the T/S blowers have done this but it seems like KB does it more than others.

Some of the new tensioners coming out seem to aleviate belt slippage but a lot of the T/S guys, at least to me, seem like they're giving in and accepting belt slip as a way of life.
