whipple
Is a whipple a good supercharger? I know KB is, does a whipple compare with that?

KB's and Whipples are both great roots style blowers. Make amazing low end power. A centri tho will pull on a roots style in the top end.

RE: whipple

Thats a myth and has been proven wrong from KB and MPH...
does this car look like it can't pull on the top end?
