[QUOTE="stangfreak, post: 16699967, member: 10655"] The 3.0L whipple will start to shine over the other blowers when its being pushed at its sweet spot. If you are going to keep the car on pump gas, I would go with a smaller blower unless you build the motor and want room in the future. I will take a guess here, that, if you run a 3.0L on pump gas, people will start to complain about loosing the low end grunt and the car will feel sluggish down low. Just how the people complained with the 3.4L whipple. 3.4 whipple + stock motor + pump gas do not belong in the same sentence. Running 18lbs of boost. I am assuming it will be the same with the gen 5 3L. I have spoken to a few guys who built there cobra's with the 3L and are racing them and they even confirmed it as well. They are all running 25lbs which is where the blower needs to be spun. These blowers need boost. Its the same principle that applied years ago when people were running 15lbs of boost with a 2.2L kenne bell and wondered why a ported eaton was door to door with them. Yea there peak hp numbers looked cool but, it did nothing. I bought my 2.9 whipple when it literally hit the market. I run MS100 on 22-23lbs of boost. My car with the 2.9 will never see 93 octane. E85 or race gas. There is no point in running big blowers on pump gas. If you have E85 on pump that is the way to go. Just being honest. I have done many twin screw swaps on my cobra. And its all the same. If you guys want to run pump, make decent power and have a strong running car, build the motor with more compression, cubic inches, increase the rev limiter or just buy a coyote mustang and that will solve all the problems. New technology. Just saying. Again its just my opinion and I could be totally wrong. Iv owned my cobra for 18 years and been down this road many many times. [/QUOTE]
