so what do people think about the saleen blower? i've heard you can get more hp from it by just gettin a diff pulley and you can do other things too.. but what about whipple and vortech and kenne bell? i know you can do the same thing, but which gets the best hp without having to do that, and which is best costwise? also whats the difference between the roots/twin screw and the centrifugal? how do i know what to get? are they the same price range? i'm not lookin for a beastly race/track car.. i'm just lookin for the mid 4-5xx hp range.. its my daily driver so i'd like it to get somewhat good mileage too (of course not lookin for like 25-30 mpg) unless possible with all that power... i'm probably not going to get one too soon, lookin to get a body kit first.. depends if i can sell my other car for a good amount, and its up to my dad too.. thanks for the help in advance

if you do a search for superchargers or search the brand name you will get alot of info. i will help with some questions.
i love the saleen but i also have one. they all will make 400rwhp plus. vortech may be the cheapest. the twin screw will make make boost at a lower rpm then the centrifugal which builds boost. the "general" rule is the twin is good on the street because you get higher boost at lower rpms and the centtrifugal is good for the track. either one will be fun to drive. as long as you don't run the car hard you will get about the same gas mileage.

Id say do some searching and some research and come back with some questions that you couldnt find answers to. it really depends on what kind of power you want and where and what you use the car for and how you use it. Overall the Saleen kit is great, I love mine and wouldnt trade it for any others. Ease of install, toned down looks and the down low power band make it my favourite

No matter what you go with, to some extent you'll question your choice. I got a hell of a deal on a new Saleen SC($3200 shipped) a few months ago. I have been looking for upgrades before I have it installed but I'm either to late and miss a part I need or the part is used and I dont trust used stuff. I'm now going with Brenspeeds Stage 3 upgrade kit which is @ $1500. I'd like to get a GT500 fuel pump but the Brenspeed guys said I would be just fine with the KB BAP. My goal is @ 450-480 rwhp. So by the time I order the upgrade kit and have everything installed and dyno tuned I'm in for about $6300. Not bad at all to have a strong street car. I thought about Brenspeeds Hellion turbo kit but no matter what I didnt want to go over 500rwhp and have to get forged internal. You should have alot of fun with Saleen SC and from everything I've read go with Saleen, Whipple, or Kenne Bell. If you have big goals go turbo.

Based on your comments, get a Twin Screw, Saleen, KB or Whipple.
