Speaking of adding power, does anybody here follow Whipple's Instagram? They posted up a video yesterday of a GT350R with a Gen 2 (not Gen 3) 2.9 putting down 1,002WHP on the dyno. Revved it out to 8300. The thing was just nasty. Judging solely from how it sounded, that thing will be deadly on the street.
If it's the car I'm thinking of,....it's got A TON of money into it. Built by Will at Whipple Superchargers.
Was it a black GT350R?

Take a look at the thread over on the 'bullet about the 7.0L engine.

Post in there of a document calling out MY2020 7.3L gasser for SD and 5.2L SC for GT500, could it be real?
Yes there was a 7.3 gas engine on that 2020 oil chart, but unlike the GT500, GT350 and FGT, it didn't state a specific vehicle for it.
I was excited 6 months ago when there was talk of the 7l possibly coming in a mustang. Most likely will never happen. It must be a larger vehicle it's going in.

That supercharger design looks good, very unique vs the usual. I like the lines, Its got the triangle trinity symbol up top ;) with the Shelby cobra on it..
So far, looking better than I thought, especially the massive brakes...WOW

It’s in front there, they don’t show it. Also will be dual injection, direct and port.
Probably will flow real nice with no curvature to the plenum. Shoot it right in there.
