One question: If this blower puts out 475hp and 500lb/ft tourque, how are the connecting rods going to take it if the optimal for the stock connecting rods is in the 400-430 range?
Where are the stats on the Paxton. I can't find them. That's MSRP on the Whipple, so I don't it's going to cost that much.
Whipple Polished twin-screw SC with 8 psi is 475 hp and 500 ft-lbs for $6,095 (MSRP) Vortech V S-Trim Q High-output centrifugal SC (Polished) with 9-10 psi is 480 hp and 420 ft-lbs for $4,599 (Superchargersonline) Paxton Novi 1000? SC Kit (Polished) is ??? hp and ??? ft-lbs for $3,599 (Superchargersonline)
Isn't the Paxton a centrifugal?
Saleen lists their SC S281 as 400hp and 420 ft-lbs, but they're not listing the 2005 version for sale.
Has Eaton or Kenne Bell come out with a 2005 version yet?
Anyone have an opinion about these or any other SC for a 2005 Mustang?
It sure seems like it. But if the twin screw is what came out a long time ago, the whipple's were like $10K. They make so much more power (in an extreme application, that the NHRA had limitations on their use, so they wouldn't steal the show.
Of course, we aren't going for 3000hp, we know the block, etc. just won't take it long before that..

This supercharger is hardly worth what they are asking..
2005 4.6L Mustang
Black $5,495
Polished $6,095
Bottom line : IMHO, its extra dollars, for over kill that you can't tap into.

The hottest twin screw blower out for 05 is from Saleen. It uses a double heat exchanger system. It will be the most efficient positive displacement you can buy. I'm sure it will be expensive. Too bad, I wish Saleen made their stuff more affordable

We have spoken before on here and your suggestion for me was the twin screw whipple. With the new specs out for the whipple, does your nod still go to the whipple for the money? Also, what would I do to make sure that the car was reliable with the 475/500 from the whipple if the 400-430 was the ideal for the stock engine?

I would say the Whipple, for the $, will be a better deal. -Unless you decide to rebuild the bottom end of the motor. Then, I would say the Saleen would be worth it. But, we don't know the price of the Saleen unit yet. I really think that running 475-500 rwhp is pushing the boundairies of the stock 3v engine, even with a perfect tune. I really think the magic # is around 450 to be safe. So, if you only decide to run 450 hp, I say the Whipple is the way to go for the $.
