jerjan- if your not fast with a 150 shot of Nitrous already , you'll probably need to build for more boost than I'm running. To me torque is what makes a streetcar fun and in this respect any twinscrew will deliver the goods

Grabber - absolutely no drivabilty issues, it runs like stock, except on STEROIDS
I live in Nashville & have been to the Smokies around Gatlinburg since it was installed, about 800 mile round trip that weekend without issue & I'd not hesitate to leave for the West Coast today. That is why I chose Whipple, like I said, it has the blue oval on it and it is as close to factory as you can be without buying it from the factory or getting a Stage 3 Roush.

Horrific - They do have a Monster size comming and that is what I referred to in another thread that I called "Shock & Awe" Not quite a 4.0, but they could have that too, I know they are working on a larger unit for the GT500 that is gonna be bad ***

RE: Whipple Superchargers
Im also contemplating a Whipple S/C...the one question I have is: Will the whipple S/C be compatible with a CDC Shaker Hood System? I know there is no performance gains from the Shaker, but I love the look. If its not compatable, then I need to buy a new hood....or even look at other options, like Paxton or even turbo.

RE: Whipple Superchargers
Zcat, what did you end up paying for your setup? Is it that much better than other twin screw superchargers to make up for the price increase? I know other systems could be had for $1k or more less than the FRPP is advertised for.
