As if a gen 2 whipple 2.3 @ 21 psi and 10:1 compression aluminator wasn't enough, I pulled the trigger on a whipple 2.9 last Monday. Picked her up today @ Fed EX.

This will be a teaser thread I am sorry. I doubt I will get around to installing it until January, due to work / life constraints at the moment.

Will post more detailed pics in this thread later tonight. 800 plus rwhp here we come, once again, thanks to e85!
Here is a teaser cell phone shot to get the ball rolling. The snout is coming off later for wetsanding / polishing, like my old Gen 2 whipple!

And a highly wetsanded and polished RR 3.2 pulley to top her off.

Where are you guys buying the 2.9L from? And whats the avg price on these units? Is it true that Tousely sells the 2.3L for 3100?

Very nice Erik! What kind of boost will get with that pulley? Are boost levels vs. pulley sizes somewhat similar to the 2.3's?

When E-85 comes to the panhandle, I will attempt to be the 1st KB 2.2 Cobra drinking the E-85.

New shit is always fun. So enjoy being friggin crazy, at least you have money in your wallet lol! Thanks bro!

I want so bad. Nice!

well get yourself one! problem solved.

Sorry for the tease. I dont drag race. I cant drive my car to its full potential anyway. Don't ask me why I want more, its just too much fun working on my car!

Step up to the plate! Or you're going to be slow forever rofl.:lol1:

Haha:beer:

Go easy on him Brian!

How much was the 2.9 after shipping????

I got a good deal thru Lethal. I will leave it at that. I have done much business with them in the past, and they hooked me up with a much better price than what is advertised online. Out of respect for their business, I'll leave the cash talk out of this thread!

I really want one too lol

Whats the hold up man? :burnout:



Well, per my wife i`ll always be...

Possible to hit 800+ with a kenne bell 2.8lc and e85?

Yes.

Lethal Performance MAP is $3705. Yes that is the price from Tousley on the 2.3.

good question^^

answered see above

John,
I'm estimating 18-19 psi with 3.2 upper only. No, the boost / pulley does differ from the 2.3 based off of info I have read online about this blower.

Let me know how much you will sell your old Whipple for.

I would sell it, but its already gone!

When E-85 comes to the panhandle, I will attempt to be the 1st KB 2.2 Cobra drinking the E-85.

Gitterdun!
