Whipple 2.3 stock throttle body newbie questions.

[DR_DOOM_SVT]

If I plan to go with a whipple 2.3 with the stock throttle body using a 3.5 pulley, what fuel upgrades do I need? Do I need other upgrades? What kind of hp numbers should I be seeing?
Thanks for the help guys!!

Are you set on the 2.3? I have the 4.0 and I love it but the 2.9 and 3.4 are great as well.

just a boost a pump has flowed enough to support mid 600's on many people's car..... IF you want to upgrade your fuel system I would just save alittle and do a return system.... Trust me, look at my sig and fuel mods and the cash that I have in it could have bought me a return system used of here easy...

It's going to be a daily driver. I don't know if I need the 2.9.

All I will need is a boost a pump? I thought about getting the lethal budget that they are offering.

yea if your going to be good running a 93 only tune and not race gas trying to push timing or anything a boost-a-pump will suffice. Alot will mention duty cycle and maxing it out blah blah blah..... many have done it with just a BAP. Its all in a good tune.... But if you want anymore power down the line its best just to go return..... I'm kicking myself in the ass right now for not going return despite recommendations of many.... :cuss:

Thanks Troy!! All we have here in my area is 91. It will be a conservative tune.
