I have looked at whipple & i have been told by shops down here you don't get the power. But I like what they offer in the H.O. kit.
You get the 500+ crank hp they claim. 450rwhp is pretty standard for a whipple HO on a stock gt.

whipple HO SC,FRPP springs, Pypes mid mufflers, Che adj. LCA, hurst, 4.10's, 1 piece DS, spec stg 2 clutch. Accel coils 12.52@117.6mph so far with a 2.01 60 ft time(pre shaft, coils, clutch).
The two top choices for a blower would be a Kenne Bell or a Whimple. You can reach your performance goals easilly with either one of those twin-screws. Some of the Whimple buyers become gender confused after the installation and they join some alternative lifestyle thing they call the "Whimple Crew" but aside from that fact the supercharger itself is a very good kit. Turbos are another story and I can not profess to know the better options for that choice. Your shops down there are quite un-informed if they think they can not get the power from the Whimple. It is one of the best kits out there.
I went with the Saleen SC/475hp upgraded, IMO its the best and most effiecent SC on the market if you compare rwhp numbers, I am making as much HP as most the guys with Whimples and KB SC that are running 10psi of boost and I am only running 6.5psi.
With that being said if you ever plan on building a motor and running 20psi or more then you will need to go with something other than a Saleen SC currently they are only good for about 15psi, at least until the new Shacker hood setup comes out, but no one I know of has numbers on that yet.

Yeah Like I said I like the whipple or I was thinking Turbonetics. But still thinking.. & all that say don't go Whipple say pro charger. they also don't sell whipple.. But I am thinking if its good enough for Ford racing its good enough for my car

You may want to rethink your "if its good enough for ford racing", trust me take some time do some research for stock block applications, the Saleen is the way to go. I am not trying to knock the other SC on the market, but maybe you should be saying "if its good enough for Saleen" remember they do make the most powerful mustangs on the market, even more power than the super snake, check out the HC302SC or the new extreme, they are using the same SC I am.
Since you all ready have 4.10's go with a Saleen or whipple. If you want a linear powerband go with a centri. (paxton is a good choice). 4.10's are not a good gear for a turbo. I think procharger is a little overpriced compared to other centri s/c.

I say just go with a twin screw and a turbo. That would be bad a$$. I agree with Saleen not only being a very reliable but their customer service is topnotch. The only downfall is that if you want a lot more boost down the road you should switch to a Kenne Bell

No one but you believes that one. Even I know a KB will make more power than a whipple or saleen with the same sized pulley. I could easily say the whipple makes more boost with the same size pulley as a saleen. This is FUD at it's finest.
