I have an 07' Shelby GT and am looking to get a twin-screw pretty soon. Ive been looking at either the Kenne Bell stage 1 kit or the Whipple. I heard some bad stuff about KB's customer service but all good about their products. I haven't heard to much about the Whipple except good customer service and the fact that Ford puts them on so must be reliable. Just wondering what everyone else thinks? Thanks!

No, but it does come with better injectors and fuel rails. Whipple and KB send 39lb'ers with there kit where as the TVS kit has 52lb'ers. Also, as mentioned, the fuel rails they send with the kit are much better than factory.

What He said!I'm running 463 rwhp with the stock fuel pump but I've got a pretty good tune .. It can be done but it's only temporary for me. It shouldn't be permanent for anyone.

I meant one pump. Does anyone know of any good tuner shops in the Houston area. I went to Strictly Performance for my exhaust and had a really bad experience so anywhere but that.

Since I want only 400+rwhp, maybe a Whipple HO tuner kit would be best for me - point being I could save money by skipping the fuel pump or going with a less expensive boost-a-pump.
My blower is a piece of **** and I wish I never bought it!!! And Im serious. I hate Kenne Bell! I mostly hate their POS customer service and the fact they lied to me and ragged on my car. I have problems with the supercharger as well and it took 8 months to finally get it running right. I would go Whipple if I had to do it again.
I have decided that when the time comes to get my twin screw it is going to be either the KB or the Whipple. I can easily see how the OP came to this point. Their both around the same price range and similar in the performance range also. The two factors which, in my mind are the different deciding factors are; even though the KB may be harder to install, There are certain advantages to the way they set up the CAI which I really like. The other factor that is swaying me towards the Whipple is that 10 rib dedicated belt drive Steeda makes. That is the way we used to do it when we were kids. and you can always custom fab a CAI for the Whipple.
I'm thinking Whipple would be my choice, I've never run either one so I can't really tell you which one is better, just sharing my thought process on this subject 'cause it is a question that I have thought about for my own car and researched pretty thouroughly.

whipple ftw! i have no complaints about my HO kit. the gt500 fp is good to 550+ rwhp, so you can expand w/ this kit. heres something that might sway your opinion.

Check this out! This is the reason I am leaning toward the Whipple. Steeda Dedicated 10 Rib Belt Drive.

PSI in webster is a pretty damn good tuning shop. Also Dyno Joe is suppose to be pretty damn good. I just learned Dyno Joe is friends with the guys that tune my car, Triangle Speed Shop in Orange, TX............What problems did you have with Strictly?!? I have seen a few cars tuned from there that run pretty damn good.
