[QUOTE="cjgt500, post: 11712036, member: 127940"] It is not about limits of power. The cfm of air you will be moving with the 2.9L Whipple even at a moderate boost level you run out of fuel from 5000+ RPM. So unless you set your rev limiter to 5000rpm you will go lean at WOT in the higher RPM bands. Perfect recipe for a blown motor...you have to pay to play. 4cyl turbo vs. 32V V8 with a near 3 Liter air pump on top...apples and oranges. We are not all saying the same thing to say it can't be done. It is the experience on this board telling you if you don't take the path shown to you we all know where you are headed...another member of the BMC. You choose the path. Your choice/your motor. Good luck! I detected sarcasm dirtyo2000...LOL. [/QUOTE]
