On my 13gt I have a VMP gen II 2.3 on a built bottom end. Street car only, what would be the better head swap the Whipple gen 5 3.0 or the VMP gen III 2.65. I'll mainly run 93 octane but planning to do a fuel system to run E85 also.

I don’t think anybody can touch the performance of the 3.0.

VMP has the removable inlet, if that’s a deal breaker.

Honestly, it's because there are less of us 03/04 owners than there are of the newer cars. Still dumb, since our kit has less to it.

Wait for the holiday sales which should be going right now.

GenV should be 5600.

True
I doubt they are doing 20 or 25 % off but that would be nice.
Looking to do Polished like my 2.9
Maybe ill sell it and cut some cost.
My 2.9 is a beast at 20 lbs lol
Im sure the 3.0 is beast on steroids lol

The Whipple head unit should be a direct replacement to the VMP head correct?

I am waiting for the sales. If they do 25% off for whipple, I am getting the gen 5. But, I have to agree with the pricing. I can't believe how expensive the whipple is for the 03 cobra. Just the unit itself. Its ridiculous.

honestly, the pickup from e85 will be substantial, i would do the fuel system first, and see if your happy with the new found power on e85, before shelling out for an additional blower

let me know if i can help with a fuel system for the e85, we have some great sales going for black friday
