Uh-oh. You're trying to open a can of worms aren't ya? oke: LoL.

The whipple makes more boost at lower blower rpms than the KB. They make equal power at equal boost levels. The whipple is 600-1200 more than a KB, Whipple has a bolt on afterthought bracket for their case flex issues. KB is proven and has a longer track record. These aren't opinions but facts btw and I'm not bashing one or the other. I'd probably have a Whipple if they would have come out sooner but that is another thread in itself.

honestly no. I just got my L less than 2 weeks ago and was wondering

interesting. sorry to high jack but Im just interested in the difference between the two
what is the "after thought" bracket you are speaking of?

 

[2002_500HP]

Bob i turned the pats off b/c i believe the unit to have went bad b/c james said since there were no blown fuses anywhere the transponder for the key could have went bad also sct and ford told me the same thing and i'm really not looking to get it fixed if i buy another alarm it wil be something worth while for me to buy like a viper or something. hope you like the vids and pics.

 

[Fade 2 Black]

Dammit!! I can't see putfile from work. I'll look later.

I thought that might be the reason you turned it off, just makin' sure there wasn't some new trick I missed out on, he he.

Kryo, the bracket goes around the blower snout and sits atop the idler bracket and braces the front of the s/c to prevent flexing which will result in rotor to case contact, in turn damaging the unit. There are several cases of this already and this was whipples fix, even charging customers for it I think as well as not polishing ones sent to those with polished blowers.

 

[fuzzie]

The whipple made more power than the KB did on the dyno BUT hasn't really taken the e.t's to new levels. I think the whipple's look much better. Atleast thats what I've gotta keep telling myself to make myself believe it was worth it LOL......

Agreed, that being said, max rpm for both blowers is 18K at 18181 my KB made 19-20 psi. At 14484 my whipple was making 18 psi. basically, I am just shy of 1 or so PSI with a 10" diamter lower and a 3.375 upper than I was with the 10" lower and 2.7 upper. Now, Go to a 3" upper and compare power outputs at equal blower RPM. That being said. I have yet to have any of my whipple not have case contact at that speed and volume. #3 has had some upgrades, so we will see :burnout:

 

[boca ron]

I have only 1 bigtime question. What blower has set the bar with the quickest e.t.?

 

[BlownBolt]

Damn thats a tight fit with the fire wall. Looks sick

 

[2002_500HP]

yea it was a PITA getting it in there by my self as for what bob was saying that bracket is trash IMO...i'm still trying to get it to fit right looks like i'm gonna have to find some way to tie the radiator hose back alittle. just hope i don't get any of that cracking or breaking or contact. anyone like those vids?????

 

[SWThomas]

2002 500HP,

Like Fade 2 Black said, make sure you get the snout bracket or you'll be running the risk of flexing the case and your rotors making contact. The only reason I mention it is because I checked your pics and didn't see the bracket on the snout of your Whip.

 

[2002_500HP]

your right it's not on there and i'm trying to figure out how to get it to fit without hitting the idler pullies the damn radiator hose is all in the way.
