Questions about a Whipple Kit

[Slowpoke]

why would you say the turbo isn't so good? i've heard otherwise from a few people. and by the way, i love the sound of turbo. (i'm just trying to get different views)

Turbo is fine, rear mount are terribly inefficient

 

[stealthee]

STS turbos are horrid ideas. Enough said.

 

[stealthee]

Oh and 12's are not fast. 12's are normal for factory cars nowadays.

 

[blueguy]

I've priced out a Whipple build...and let me tell you...it isn't cheap.

i've talked to people who have the rearmount, and the damage form outside really isn't a factor. maybe a plus is since its in back, more room in the bay for mods?

Indeed.

However 14's are still faster than most vehicles on the road... :th_thumbsup-wink:

Go edumacate yourself on how a turbo system works.

You'll never want a rear mount after that.

Do research on why STS turbos suck. Room in the bay doesn't leave room for more mods, thats just stupid.

 

[Slowpoke]

That was my point, whipple a GTP...


BPU LS2 Goat...

That pretty much take the cost stand point out of the GP's corner there...now it's just down to preference. fwd/auto or rwd/manual? v6 or v8? I think the choice is easy.

 

[delta6force94]

so, supercharger and procharger are better ways to go in your opinion? i just love the sound.
oh, just wondering SLOWPOKE, what would you choose?

And for the love of God, don't take the FAQ page from the STS website as research.

No one said a supercharger or procharger is the way to go. We just said don't go rear mount turbo. Put the turbo in the engine bay.

couldn't have guessed that i love the svt's, beautiful! but mustangs are so common and goats are rare ( in their own way)

 

[matt5112]

If rarity is a concern... why aren't you buying a 964 turbo?

Not joking... goodluck finding one.

Make you **** your pants too.

:th_laugh-pointup::th_laugh-lol3::th_laugh-pointup:

 

[delta6force94]

not rare man, just not something you see everyday. go out and take a drive, you know exactly what i mean

 

[matt5112]

Technically any fifth gen camaro is the same car....

Same with the G8's.

 

[delta6force94]

yea, g8s are nice too. but really, i love the look of a cyclone grey metallic GTO.

 

[Explicit_Spade]

I see GTOs all the time. They're as rare as and SRT-4 or a Cobalt...

 

[redlinepontiac]

there were less G8s made then GTOs
