Zcat, even though you are relatively new to this forum, I know of your experience with both turbos and blowers and respect your opinions.
Nuff said.

Anyone know what size the Whipple is? I know the KB is 2.4L and the Saleen is 2.3L.

The Whipple is a 2.3L compressor.

Another Forums nooblar, welcome indeed. Read the entire post before your tiny brain actually decides to type in something; I am actually trying to help some people from listening to someone that doesn't really know about s/c's and recommending the worst s/c out there. Tell me something about s/c's that I haven't said before. Like I said before there is a reason why people swap out the whipples that come on their car for a KB or a Procharger set-up.

So can you tell us which cars come with the Whipple that everyone swaps out for a KB or Procharger?

I wondered the same thing. Cobras came with Eatons.

Guys, this Android guy knows better, he is just messing with us. Like I said before, he is actually a comic genius because nobody could come on a board like this and post comments as stupid as he has - shoot, they wouldn't even be able to operate a keyboard - LOL! They couldn't even get a driver's licience, let along pilot the car he claims to have in his sig. Like I said - comic genius, could give Kramer a run for the money. Oh, wait a minute, Kramer is looking pretty stupid too[]

Turbos > all

but **** that conversation

Our 03 cobra had a Kb, Wip, and a procharger.

I will never use anything belt driven again but they are all similar. Saying one is better is kind of pointless its all based on the car and user expectations. We just put a wipple on a 03 cobra motor thats in a 67 fast back that had a kb in it because the user wanted more power.

Any way. You should have went turbo for reliablity looks and overall greater power increases
