Why is the Whipple Supercharger kit so much more costly than the Roush Supercharger kits?
What are the pros and cons of these superchargers.

Not sure why the whipple costs more, it comes with less vehicle warranty if installed with their tune. 1/12 vs 3/36. Both make easy 10 second cars at sea level. I am not sure why people would go with the more expensive whipple honestly (unless they want the whine). I went with the cheaper of the two.

I guess because the whipple looks nicer BUT I would get the roush since I don't drive ith the hood open neither care how my engine bay looks as long as it's efficient.

Name!

But If choosing between the two I would go with Roush. I have been more impressed with the cars that are running it over whipple cars.

This. I watched a car with the very quiet stock exhaust and the TVS run 180 and change at the Texas Mile last weekend. You'd have never guessed if you saw/heard the car.

Any more info on this car?

I was going to get the Roush but I ran across the Whipple tuner kit for 5k even new at a ford dealership. Couldn't pass it up and with the extra stuff I planned on putting on it made it cheaper than the Roush.

Nice deal! I remember when (my 97 Cobra days) SCs used to be in the $3-$4k range. I'd hop all over than and put a blower on my car if that were still the case. I just can't justify forking out $7-$8k (blower plus install plus supporting mods/tune) for the extra power.

6k is a hefty chunk of change, but with no other changes (besides tires) you quickly get a 10 second car that is still plenty good for a daily driver and still gets 24mpg. Everything is more expensive these days, but the vehicles we get and the products we have been getting lately are more capable for sure.

Yeah Roush designed and manufactures the 5.0L kit. If you buy it from Roush, it comes with a 2.3L TVS that they make. If you buy it from FRPP, it comes with a 2.3L whipple blower.
