OK Mike, both kits are fine for what you want to do with it. I don't hink you'll be disappointed either way. But since no one else had the heart/guts to tell you, I will.

I really don't plan on going over 8 lbs of boost

So now I made up my mind and changed my order to the Whipple HO Kit but now they want to charge me $200 for shipping and handling while the Saleen 475 kit had free shipping and handling.

I wanted to support a forum sponsor but not at the expense of $200.

I thought I've seen the Whipple HO for sale with free shipping...

Make shipping costs as factor #7 on the list.

Yeah, the Whipple HO seems to be in the majority.

I talked to someone at Lethal Performance and they offered free shipping.

THR whom I ordered from states on their website that they will price match competitors.

shop around for the whipple, it can be had for different prices, some cheaper then some, there are allot of places that sell it with free shipping included. I would not pay 200 for shipping, as i didn't. If you want further info, pm me

just buy what you want and make your own decision on the supercharger rather than basing it on input from anonymous Internet people.

Just curious, but why would you make that statement?
A/T=Saleen SC
Manual= Whipple SC
