[QUOTE="axo250, post: 16383815, member: 181540"] I’m looking for feedback from those that have personal experience with the Whipple 2.9 (Gen 3 or 4) and/or the VMP 2.65 Gen 3 on the GT500. Both are similarly priced and from what I can tell take a stock internal engine to the upper limits. I only use my car as a weekend driver and it never sees the race track (always on 93 octane); therefore seat of the pants feel, driveability, ability to deal with heat (live in Florida) and installation are my main areas of interest. I’m familiar with what it takes to install the VMP unit but don’t know if the Whipple still requires a dent in the firewall or a notch to the hood bracing as with the earlier units. Here are the car’s specs: 2011 GT-500 L&M NSR cams Kooks 1 7/8 headers with green catted H Cobra Jet twin 65 throttle body JLT 123mm intake Fuel Pump Booster iD1050x injectors (to be installed with supercharger, currently on 56#ers) 93 octane gas only *no plans to build the engine nor run race gas or e85* I live close-by to VMP and have had great support from those guys; however I would like to understand if there is something about the Whipple that would be better for my use. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated in my deliberation as I’ve never ridden in a car with either blower. [/QUOTE]
