Whats up guys im new to posting on here, but ive been reading this forum for about 6 months i just sold my 2000 gt mustang and bought a
2001 saleen s281.
Im looking to get a supercharger and i just wanted to know which one is the best for performance and relibility and i thought you guys were the best to ask.
Oh yeah is the x pipe on the saleen different from the x pipe on the stock gt should i keep it or just buy a bassani i was really happy with it on my old gt

Saleen uses a Roots style blower, like a eaton or the Kenne Bell...

The centrifugal style seems like the best bet, some year after I win the lottery, I'll but a nice vortech on my stang [Razz]

Vortech is the most reliable supercharger I know of for Mustang's...

Your GT came with an H pipe not an X...Your Saleen should have high flow cats...If you're going to add a supercharger then the less restrictions you have in your exhaust the better... [patriot]

I'd probably go with a vortech if it was me, the roots style blowers while adequate just don't scream enough on the top end like a centrifugal style can.

Get a Kenne Bell. It's a twin screw, über-effecient, and you don't have to wait for the boost to build.

KB's 8psi intercooled kit is good for 410rwhp with the right tune.
