The new 2.9 whipple is going to be a beast of a blower for these coyote engines but in all honesty, every blower does very well on this platform. But, I like the OEM like quality of Roush/ VMP and Whipple.
I got my eye on the new 2.9 whipple, will consider in a year or two.

My old GHIG GT has a CPR (I think) single turbo running 9.4-9.5 @ around 150mph.

Turbo's are cool and all but I prefer a supercharger.

Been checking out the 2.9 Whipple. Looks nice but is there a list somewhere that would give me an idea of HP for the different amounts of boost vs pulley size?

So I forgot my camera at the shop. I did get one picture with my phone though.

ID1000s, VMP Gen 2, 2.5 pulley, MRT OR H, JLT Hydrocarbon CAI

C'mon big numbers? What are you expecting to see?

Just how low can you go on the roads you have to drive?

Springs....Sweet

As for me...What a frick'n day! One thing after another...Anyway, long story short I need to get an auxiliary pulley system for more belt tension...The belt was slipping and with that the numbers weren't where Dan and I expected....Right now looking at around 653/611....Should be around 680HP...I'm ordering the METCO Auxiliary Pulley and will take it back....Steve can fill you in on the "Work" we did....LOL

Started out this morning planning to install my new P springs. Ended up helping my Father in law install ductless A/C units in his house.
I did take him for a ride, he's a mustang guy from the sixties, he said he'd never ridden in anything like mine before.
