The car is an 03/04 car with a built motor. The guy has made a Whipple 3300AX blower on the car. It is basically a marine blower that they fabbed a lower and made it work. He rode in the car a few weeks ago and said it felt as fast as his 800rwhp turbo car. Well they had it dynoed today and the #'s showed. The car made 840rwhp and around 800rwtqwith no nitrous. They said that the car was only down 7rwhp@2000 RPM's compared to the old 2.4KB setup.

hitman#1 said:Looks like it can run with the turbo dogs to me. No to mention lower cost and not having to completely change everything around on the front end.
Turbo power, without having to get away from the essence of the car... > Changing everything from the intake to the front suspension to gain no power advantage...

I want a KB or whipple:coolman:
03InThe11s said:well, i want a whipple too, but turbos are generaly superior to superchargers. they are more complicated, and are harder to install, but those are the only drawbacks.

Have you not been paying attention to what the Turbo guys are saying? The car isn't nearly as much fun w/the turbo. Several big posters on here w/turbo cars sold theirs. I'm too lazy to search right now but one guy said that the biggest mistake he made with his car was to go Turbo.
Go twin-screw and keep the fun factor or go Turbo and get your 800rwhp dyno numbers and sell it a few months later. I say Whipple.
03InThe11s said:what am i talking about? the question is, what are you talking about? please tell me how they are less fun than a twin screw.
guys, im not talking about most fun. or the easiest. or whats best for your individual car what i am saying is that more power is made per lbs of boost, and they are more effecient. when you guys that just generaly like to disagree with me show some actual data (not what a "big poster" said) that is contrary to what i said, come back and say something. untill then, stop talking.

IamMike said:I'd like to hear more from Whipple owners on the sound factor. I've been reading and reading and doing more reading on the different SC's out there, and have settled into a twin screw as the logical choice, at least for me. From what I gather reading different things about the KB and WP looking at dyno's the power and boost from them won't be noticeable. Esp for someone running a stock engine looking for more power w/o having to do up the internals ect. Even then it would seem as someone mentioned, according to dyno sheets I've seen, it's gonna take quite a bit to tilt anything in WP's direction, and w/ the new "H" from KB that may be a moot point.
Whipple is coming in more expensive of the 2, but from what I read you get better customer service plus less hassle w/ oil issues. KB's website is much better and more informative as far as numbers and dyno sheets. Crappy support in finding authorized installers.
Whipple's website is pretty sucky. Of course as I type this I was trying to get on their site and its not loading.....
neither is cheap, but both seem to be the superior blower to Paxton's and other diff types of blowers.
I'm really interested in how much different whipple's sound. I wish I could listen to a comparision. I can't get on whipple's site yet, but IIRC don't they offer a longer warranty than the 1 yr from KB? that is def food for thought as well.
