New to the forum. I'm going to start the install of my Whipple 2.9 supercharger on my 12 GT in a few weeks. I've already done suspension, driveshaft and clutch upgrades to support the blower. Are the oil pump gears really needed with the Whipple? I understand if I was going to run the motor past 6800 rpm all the time but I haven't raised the rev limiter. It's mainly a weekend warrior that sees a few drag strip days a year. I'm in Colorado, so I'm thinking I'll be at 550-570 rwhp after the dyno tune, maybe a little lower because of the elevation. I've seen other Coyotes at sea level put down around 600. I'll be well below that. I plan on doing an aluminator short block in a couple of years that already had the forged pieces and lower compression. I'm thinking the gears will survive until then. Just looking to see everyone else's experiences.
