i just finished my whipple 550 hp kit tonight and test drove it for about 30 miles. only thing i can say about the kb is that i have heard lots of good things, and i went with the whipple for the dual fuel pumps and and the great customer service. i started the install on thursday night and finished about 4 hours ago everything went together perfect very easy kit to install and everything is the highest quality. The power is unreal didn't think it would be that big of a difference.

Congratulations Thats awesome! Im nervous to do the install but it should be fun to do with my dad. Do you have it running 550 hp? And do you have any other upgrades on your car?

If you want a deal on a whipple there's one for sale on S197forum on the cheap.

Did I mention that I have a Whipple! 10PSI no issues!!

I went back and forth between Whipple, Saleen and KB for months before I finally pulled the trigger on a Whipple. I sought out people who had them to get real world reviews and in-person impressions. First let me say, they are ALL excellent kits. You will be happy no matter which you choose. I ultimately chose the Whipple over the Saleen and KB. The Saleen didn't have the ultimate power potential of the KB or Whipple, so it was first off the list. I may never attempt to build a motor and run 20+ psi, but it's nice to know I can. I decided against the KB after seeing one in action at the drag strip. It performed great, but heat soaked terribly. The guy who owned it was waiting almost 45 minutes between runs and it was still hot to the touch. I also like that Whipple includes a dual fuel pump assembly in their kit rather than a boost-a-pump.

Whipple going strong for over 3 years, no problems at all.

Can't comment on Whipple but the KB kit was super easy to install. Also, I prefer the look of the KB and the whine.

Both kits are good. I went with the Whipple for the dual pumps. I've been very satisfied with it so far.
