im not doubting you, it just seems far fetched to me.

LOL, Okay I dont see how. I honestly don't see the big hype on the whipple! Could be why they no longer offer it for our cars on there site! I had the basic set up and was running a 3.4. I wanted more power and at that time all I heard was OMG get a whipple! So I did!! I sold the car before I ever got to run it at the track. Also I never got on the pc to get onto forums. My x-hubby did and took credit for the car! And all of the other cars I OWNED! Thats why when I got my 07 I was like screw this! Im going to make sure they know its MY CAR! I didn't do ANY work on my 05'! Thats why im SO excited this time because im doing it all on my own!!!

its hard to tune for this platform i guess. look at how well they do on the cobra's. its not whipples fault it cant be tuned for the 3.8. but as far as roots styles blowers go, whipple and kenne bell take that cake and are MILES ahead of an eaton.

X2...pics of the car? Or maybe pics that your "X" took? I'm just saying also that they came from WBS with a 4.0" Pulley too. 3.5" was a option as they use different style pulley's than just the standard press-on from Eaton IIRC.

VERY NICE!! Too a point though...look at the new Eaton1900 Twin Stacked IC'ed Blower in the ZR1...if you look at a cross-section pic they are almost a twin-screw design, very quiet...very efficient.

Well, I think more than anything it just takes patience. Hell how about the Riviera those guys built with the 100mm FAST TB?!? Or 100mm MAF...I aint goin back though the long thread to find it but this thing rocks.

Knock yourself out...best 20+ page thread EVER

Eric's calling you out alex...heheh

Kenne Bell's though...not as much. They beat the Whipple to the mainstream market and sure do make great HP numbers but they are flawly designed and leak oil bad if they are pushed into spinning too high of RPM's. Every Cobra owner I've talked to just loves the power they make but hate having to perform as much maintenance on them as changing the oil in their car

Again, for the money...as long as you are staying Supercharged...you can't beat a Whipple. Bar None.

Trust me I talked to Paul @ PRJ about it enough to know

AND...the fact that GM is now intercooling their cars from the factory...Thanks for FINALLY listening to Ford. It only took them since 1989 with the IC'ed and Blown SuperCoupe T-Bird and XR-7 Cougar. IIRC they did put intercoolers on the SC'ed 'Balts too...not sure.

**blowfishRus6** · 05-01-2009

did the 3.8 supercoupe have the same supercharger as us??

**blueguy** · 05-01-2009

Yup...Eaton M90

There is no reason for me to post pictures! If you guys don't believe me yall dont believe me!!lol I could post pictures and you could say "O thats not your car" Im not in ANY of the pictures and I have NONE of my AR tags. Im not on here bragging about having a whipple. Just stated that all the work I had done to mine I was only putting out like 440ish 450 on dyno. IMO I would NEVER waste the money I did on the whole setup. I wanna go turbo! I don't see why its so far fetch....about 2+yrs ago the whipples was big..Its not like its a rare find! LOL. I don't want to start a bashing thread on if im lying or not. I have no reason to lie about it and I respect this site and everyone on it! Bio, and Blue you two both have been a big help to me. I didn't do my setup I paid someone to! Now im doing it and WOW I have learned SOO much! Im sorry if you guys find it far fetch.
