Very nice. Solid baseline. What are you expecting from the whipple setup.

620-650rwhp I expect and what I’ll be happy with. Mainly a road-course car.

Yo, any reason not to go with the TVS from the 5.8 trinity? I thought that was the cheapest swap for all GT500s, pre 2013.

What’s your exhaust setup look like.

Mine made almost the same exact power with a cheap K&N.
3880 with 1/2 so I assume shaker 500 car?

Did you end up finding a complete ford racing whipple kit?

Commie Cali Carb laws, as crazy as it sounds the 13/14 OEM TVS doesn’t have a carb sticker for use as an aftermarket blower on older 500s. He’d probably get a way with it, however that’s a big risk in the land of fruits and nuts....

This is correct. You never know what a smog guy will let fly and what they wont. If there shop has ever been hit with not performing a full visual then chances they will turn you away if something doesn't look stock to them

I wanted an effortless CARB approved solution for this thing.

16lbs on a Gen3 Whipple 2.9 will meet the CARB requirement (on Whipples tune) and still bet me upwards of 650rwhp.

That’s the only reason.

It’s a Shaker 1000 car.

Yea, went through Beef Cake Racing and bought the full CARB Approved Whipple 2.9 Kit.

Wish I could swing a gt500 as a daily driver. I would do a blower swap in a heart beat. Whether tvs or whipple.
