Timing/ Octane??????
Those are some HEALTHY numbers out of a 2.3. :rockon:
I'll say, that's quite high with 20 lbs. of boost.:uh oh:

Didn't you make a post a couple of months ago saying you regretted getting rid of your Whipple for the KB 2.8? I guess you must be back on the KB wagon this month since your new inlet has made you happy again. I have the Gen II whipple and I have no issues at all with IAT2's.
Congrats on the purchase!:thumbsup:
You can't go wrong with a Whipple, regardless of the generation. Here's a pic of mine beside my old polished Eaton...

Gosh. You guys makes me want to order one right now. Lol
You are going to have higher Iat's with a Gen 2, it makes 1.5-2psi more with the same pulley combo, more boost, more heat simple. I have spoke to Art Whipple about this, over 20psi go 3.4. Yes you can spin them at 21-22psi but you need good fuel and need to keepa eye on Iats.
Wow. . . that is def the most accurate way to compare them . . . :kaboom:
Great post bud. I wish all the people looking at my 7K mile W2300AX would read this. Vortech uses the same blower in their kits. What Whipple did was a cost cutting move and then marketed them (W140) as a huge improvement to boost sales. I really am debating the sale of mine but I want a set of TF Chicanes and have my first kid on the way so I have to chose one. :bash:
Not to mention the Lysholm W2300AX is the OEM blower on the Ford GT and they also supply Mercedes Benz with all of the blowers for their AMG cars including the Mclaren SLR.

To clarify as 04 -sonic said as he has datalogging from track day as he also dropped his gen 2 for a kb. and not to beat a dead horse over and over the gen 2s were hotter, and i had same exact mods as my friend except for the gen 1 and gen 2 how much more accurate can there be a comparison?:shrug: The iats didnt lie. Overa ll they are both great blowers, but the gen 1 seems to shine a lot better and as my friend has walked several other gen 2s thats all.

Gen1 to gen 2
2psi per same pulley. Period.
No difference between hp- both are great blowers.
No difference at same psi in iat's

Buddy with the little whipple even walked that bigger cooler KB also didn't he?
He gets himself in trouble in tech. :rolling:
Sometimes. I made a mistake, I didn't mean he got walked, but from hearing both the stories, they were side by side.
no the little buddy didnt since the other guy was running no coolant in his reservoir and they wer side by side with alot of traffic and the bigger blower didnt get into the sweet spot yet, but thanks for insight lol ::nono:

That final pull had 20* of timing with 100 octane. A/F 12.0. We pulled some timing for the street tune 93 octane.
Just got to keep you in check with reality. Your welcome.
