[DoctorV8]

Great discussion guys....hoping to have more Whipple owners crawl out of the woodwork and join the survey! :cheers

It sounds the guts of the new blower are may be the same as the Kenny Bell unit.

As for a 1000 HP (RWHP) on a GT with a blower on pump gas, it is not a wet dream, it is a GRENADE!!!

Even 1000HP (crank) with race gas would be a stretch. The heat generated from the blower would heat the air temps very high, very fast, without an upgraded intercooler system and or water injection.

Hey what the hell skip the caution and water injection, 1000 HP can be easily reach via nitrous cooling!

The boys from FRESNO will not be sitting on their hands... as a local I will be hopefully their beta FGT. I am excited:wink:lol:wink

800 rwhp with a Whipple really isn't that difficult. I have seen 782 at the tire on my car at 19 psi on 93 octane. I am sure a few more degrees of timing would get me there. The engine also only had 300 miles on it. A few more miles of break in would also net me some more power.

At the end of the day there is no sense in grenading a masterpiece of an engine for a few more ponies. Without traction there is no difference between 700 rwhp and 1000 rwhp anyway.

I have the 19 psi pulley, tuned for 91 octane, short throw shifter, tranny cooler. 713 rwhp, tuner says another 100hp easily there tuning for 93 octane and being a little more aggressive.

I get to toggle between those 2 points with the press of a button. Your dead on with your no traction assumption. But outside of that it's a whole other ballgame.:wink

I'm very pleased with my new Gen II Whipple. Made 731 rwhp through the stock manifolds and Heffner exhaust at 20 psi on 93 Octane.

My brother will be doing an article on the car soon at www.thetruthaboutcars.com.

Another buddy who also helped install Soroush's blower has done his own writeup here:

so we ironed out all of the chirping problems with the whipple and I had a chance to redyno the car with the 21lb pulley, the car made 770 rwhp and 729 tq on 93 octane, the tune is not agressive at all, the total timing past 4000 rpm is about 18deg, its a bit more below 4000rpm around 20, the air fuel is well below 12 across the board, and the car see 20 to 21 lbs of boost. 800 hp is next with some race gas and more timing.:wink
