[QUOTE="chrisJ, post: 7330567, member: 45033"] Im kinda in the same perdicament you are. 3.4 or 2.3 whipple? Im pretty sure anything over 20psi on the 3.4, your gonna need some beefing up for your internals. If you plan on building your engine to handle the 650+ HP for the 3.4 whipple then yes get the big blower. But if you only expect to have your car for a DD or even just a weekend driver, then the 2.3 is well enough to suit your needs. I was told that one of the weak parts of the shortblock on these cars especially with the big 3.4, is the piston rings under high boost/HP, that they will, over time under high heat expansion, pinch the tops of the piston and may eventually pop the tops off of the pistons. That may be only in extreme cases but who knows? [/QUOTE]
