Can't go wrong with either one, for me it just came down to personal preferrence then price. Just remember there may be a few other things you need to get such as Dual fuel pump system, maybe a clutch if your a manual.

RE: shopping for supercharger
The Brenspeed Stage 2 is the way to go. I have the Stage 2 + bigger water pump pulley and the Saleen Extreme inlet tube. #'s are in my sig.
If you can, go to Brenspeed for the install. Hell, even if you can't, do it anyway. I drove 8 hours each way, and would have easily drove double that after knowing how good they are. Search for my thread about my install, they KICK ***!
And yes, since you own a Saleen, I'd DEFINITELY get the Saleen blower. No question in my mind. It'd just look silly any other way... MIGHT even devalue the car. Example - there was a guy selling a Saleen on ebay that had a centrifugal supercharger in it. He couldn't give that thing away! If you add a Whipple, peopl ewill know you did it to beat on it. If you add a Saleen, it looks like it belongs, so it COULD have been there when you bought it....

Dont bash Hammeron, he has a love for all forced induction. If I could I would have a turbo stang too, but I am not giving up the whipple. To me it has the best underhood presence.

Hammeron will never reccomend the whipple, I don't know what it is, but he will never reccomend what he has. I know he says it's the "mechanics choice" but it is a great unit. But I would say go with the Saleen.
