I swaped from a stock Eaton to a GEN1 2.3L Whipple and installed a Return Style Fuel System during winter and a 200A Alternator with Big 3 wire upgrade.
I´m doing a remote tune with a very well known men
My tuner send me a idle tune according to my modifications. It starts normally but after ~30...
Finally finished my 04 Mach 1 project, got it dyno tuned and numbers were 555hp and 474 ftlbs. Does the torque seem low? What could be causing it? On everyone else’s builds, hp and torque are relatively close. Just a curiosity post as the car pulls just fine for what I use it for.

Hey all. I currently am pushing 500rwhp with my 03 cobra on a stock Eaton. I have mhs cams ,headers ,exhaust, accufab throttle body ,CAI, smaller pulleys etc.. I am thinking of replacing the eaton with a 2.3 whipple super charger. I use it for the streets and do not want to be at 600rwhp. I am...
Anybody know if there's a way to confirm the bypass valve is closing completely? I've got a 2.3L with the solenoid bypassed running a 2.95 pulley. The lower blower nipple is routed directly to the bypass actuator. Issue is recently my boost has been dropping from about 17.5max to 15.5. I can...
I recently got my built Lighting back together and have been driving it around Texas without issue for a couple of months...but today when I was detailing the bay, I noticed this:
So...sucked out the oil and this is what it looks like. Around 7k miles since it was all installed...
I am looking to see if anyone has a 3.375" Pulley for a 2.3 Whipple they are willing to part with.
I had got a 3.375 recently from a person with a 2.9 Whipple, but it appeared that the offset was different and sat too far back on the snout and did not line up with the idlers. That being said, I...
I am in the middle of my blower swap and have deleted EGR. I realized there are a few plastic vacuum lines (red and green in color) and wanted to know if I can just leave them there or if I need to block them off somehow.
In addition to that, I was not wise and did not pay attention when I...
Trying to estimate belt size needed for my new setup:
3.375 Upper
2lb Metco lower (8in)
4 piece Billetflow Idler Set
3.0 Alternator Pulley
I am assuming I will need at least a 79" belt, possibly 80". Anyone have any input on this?
I will be running a Gen 2 2.3 Whipple at roughly 17psi of boost and would like some opinions on spark plugs and Gap.
On my Ported Eaton setup, I had NGK TR6 gapped at 0.32. Should I stick with the TR6 or go to the TR7?
Does a 0.25 Gap seem too tight for that setup?
Then a matter or Copper vs...
The time has come to swap my eaton for my Whipple blower.
I have the metal gasket for the blower to intake manifold and black RTV for the intercooler to blower.
Has anyone rescued the metal gasket?
My next question is in regards to the bolts. Do the VMP performance bolts that say they fit an...
So I purchased a gen 2 2.3 Whipple that came with an Accufab throttle body and am getting ready to take the car to the dyno in a few weeks for tuning. I have heard numerous stories about high idle issues and cruise control not working. I do take the car on the highway for longer stints and I...
So I've come to find that I will be upgrading to a Gen 2 2.3 Whipple. My question is what size upper pulley should I get? I wanted to shoot for 600WHP, but a friend told me that with the setup I have, I can expect to safely max out at 580WHP.
The mods to my car (engine/tuning related) are:

Hi,
Has anybody done an internal seal replacement on a 140AX gen2 blower? Is that something that can be done with basic tools at home?
Mine is eating up oil pretty fast. The outside seal was redone already.
Thanks!
Just 2 months ago i went to a whipple. After the tune i had a slight idle problem. after i punch it and let off fast the truck will run fine and preform fine until i return down to idle. it will just keep going down until it shuts off. i can turn the truck back on typically with no issues...
I just got installing my whipple about 3 week ago. i was at 103k when the eaton took a shit. I wanted to put up a thread for people to know what happened and in the event that they have any inquiry's here is were they can ask. i am running a 9in lower. 3.5 upper. Creating 15lbs after 3500 rpm...
Hello I am Bobby I live in Indiana. Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to have a 03/04 Cobra, Iv always loved fast cars since I was young. I currently drive an Impulse Blue 05 Pontiac GTO, but in my heart I would much rather be driving a Cobra. I would be willing to trade and if...
