Whipple Cobra Question

[Laxpaint5]

A fellow cobra owner and myself are looking into going with a whipple kit. If we were looking to push between 16 and 18 psi max how much will the entire kit cost installed. I am just looking into a ball park figure. If I do it I want to do it all at once and right the first time. I am either doing this or getting a crotch rocket with the money.

Thanks in Advance

Most places would charge you around ~500 just to do the compressor installation/intake/injectors.

Of course, other supporting mods are necessary, and time varies by the tech's capabillity.

$500 sounds about right for a Whipple install although you could probably install the s/c, injecters & MAFia yourself. I'd go with a pro for the fuel pumps though. You'll need a dyno tune too ($150-$200).

A decent guess:

The kit about $3200
The install about $500
Bigger injectors about $500
BAP about $300
Dyno tuning about $250
Other little stuff another $250

Total: about $5000

This is what I realisticly think you need to expect to spend to run that level of boost.

Of course, with that level of power, you are going to have to start thinking about upgrading cooling and power train components. i.e. stronger clutch, 26 spline input shaft, 31 spline output shaft & yoke, IRS brace, level 5 halfshafts, bigger intercooler resevoir, bigger radiator, bigger heat exchanger, LDC cooling mod.

Believe me, the sky is the limit when it comes to mods. But if your choice is this or a crotch rocket.... do this. Its a lot safer.

Sounds about right. Not to hijack the thread, but esqeddy, good luck on trying to break the land speed record. (270mph right?)

crotch rocket or whipple

that's a toughie, i would have to say crotch rocket first, but then again i'm a little biased because both entertain me. bike doesnt eat gas like a whippled gas eating guzzler

 

[WOLFGANGSTA]

here's a list similar to above with some extras that you really need to do it right...

Whipple 3200
install whipple 500 (assuming you don't do it yourself)
MAF 250
sct x cal 400 (assuming they put tunes on it for you)
60lb injectors 500
jlt intake 200
heat exchanger 300
lfp tank 200
boost-a-pump 300

Almost $6,000.00 total.....and you're gonna need about another $1000.00 for a new clutch and components when the 600 HP eats it up!

There is $5000.00 in this pic (minus the dog, add $2000.00) that includes 6 months of custom tunes from RWTD
I still need
Accufab TB
LFP tank
LFP heat exchanger
26 spline input shaft

You can get things a little cheaper buy shopping around (RWTD).
Clutch came from LETHAL Performance

I know that ain't a CFDF clutch right? If it is I would quickly get rid of it and go with either the LM series or the DFX. Myself, along with others, have had major problems with the CFDF. It was smoked after 500 mile easy break in and another 500 miles of moderate use including some track time. I could not adjust it properly, I was missing shifts which I almost never do. It was also slipping a bit. I would never buy another CFDF again...EVER. I have the DFX now and the only thing I don't like is the chatter so far, but supposedly that goes away. Other then that it holds the power.

 

[Laxpaint5]

thanks guys. Hard decision. Gas is brutal now in my cobra with stock injectors.

That is an LM disk With a DF II pressure plate. Would that be OK :shrug:

270 mph?!?!?!

NO!!! Fortunately, the record in the C/PS class is 203 mph. First, I want the record in my pocket. Second, then I want to stretch it out into the 2 teens.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Just being a little sarcastic. Do you still have you N2O set up? PM with the details.

I have read that those are in between the CFDF and the DFX. I would think it is just fine. Like I said...I and many others have had issues with the CFDF. You should be good to go.. :rockon: :beer:

Nope. Had to pull it to comply with the rules.... up for sale.
