yup, i had planned on selling it anyway to go to the 2.6l. I can get to 500 or so rwhp/tq but at around 540-560 it is about maxed out. I was going to sell it and get the 2.6l and up the boost to get to 600+, but like i said earlier, if i can do this whipple swap i prob will. Just dont know when this all will take place. The only thing i am lacking for the new engine is a set of heads and cams. I have the money and everything, just dont know what to go with. I had planned to hold off for the trick flow's, but i dont think i am going to pay $2,200 or so for a set of heads when i could do stage 2 heads and cams for like $1,800. once i get the heads and cams on the motor, then i will be looking to sell the blower for somthing bigger. like a giant 3.4l LOL!

Well they announced that the Trickflow heads are going to be $2000 assembled and then CMS blower cams are $569, so youre not gonna be spending a whole lot more than the equivelentl heads for a lot more potential. And the R heads are gonna be freakin amazing so i would buy those because your gonna be flowing more than some, if not most, 4v heads so i would find it to be a positive thing. 4v flow numbers at a little more than normal 2v prices. But i had pondered this idea a while ago but never did research on it. but i like the effort you put forth to do this swap. I would definitly go for the 3.4L Whipple!!!

LOL! Well i just sent lethalperformance a pm cuz i read a thread about the 3.4 and supposedly you have to spin the damn thing to 20psi for it to start making good power. Waiting on a response as to what he thinks about it. IDM the 20 psi ,but are the cobra guys running race gas at that boost level? I cant see them getting up there much more without it. but then again, the most i have run is 10psi so what do i know? LOL!!
when he messages me back and says that it would be worth the swap, great upgrade, ect.. then we are in business!

whipple does make a blower bigger than 3.4, they make a 4.5...

That thing is a freakin monster!
Also the cobra guys have a forged setup, as long as they pull enough timing they can run as mush boost as they want on pump i'd imagine.
