Finally got the Whipple in.

Finally got it it, lil 2.3 Whipple. Although shes not pusing as much as she should (560 rwhp) Dyno tech says just bring in the lower pully and it should unlock a lot more. Only boosting at 17, but still stoked really.

put it on e85 and you'll unlock a whole lot more.

Nothing wrong with E85... Iv'e been running it for years now. But we have it local so no problems here. Congrats on the boost charger!!!

There is nothing wrong with E85 as long as you have access to it easily.

How do you like it compared to before?

 

[venomboysvt]

Yeah, E85 I haven't seen anything here with it in VA thus far. MAN! its a beast compared to before. Was at 487, now 560 so a bit of a difference, always hear it whistling. Just need to get that lower swapped, after my rims order of course. one thing at a time lol. Feel like a fighter pilot in it.

Congrats on the new power. Post up your Dyno sheet. I'm sure this hot\humid weather hurt you on the dyno. Not sure if you saw my threads, but I also just went to a 2.3 Whipple. If your seeing 17lbs I wouldn't suggest adding a lower unless your going to add Torco, unless your talking about a 2lb lower, in which case it wouldn't be worth it anyway because you can go down to a 2.75 upper and pick up 2lbs and stay with your stock lower. But 19lb is pushing it on straight 93. I personally wouldn't do it with mixing in a little something.

BTW - what brand pulley is that? It looks really good. I'm wanting to switch out to a polished one myself. I do have to say your snub idler pulley is taking away from that nice polished pulley on the Whipple though. Might want to swap it out for a Metco at some point. I think I've had every brand of aftermarket idler pulley at this point and the Metco's are definitely the best looking IMO.

Nice gains!!

Solid gains! Those Whipple blowers look so good, I wish they made a kit for the G8.

Man, good advice bro. What power were u making with the 2.8 upper? if its like at 600 ill be sold. Yeah its really humid here right now so could be adverse effects. Good question on the pulley, I am not even sure what brand it is. Got if off someone on this site. looks really good on it.

Yeah feels so much better man. 2.3 is like the c cup of blowers , big enough to get the job done.
