RE: Project BumbleBoost (Whipple S/C)
I don't have one, but will own this one someday. It comes in black also.

RE: Project BumbleBoost (Whipple S/C)
The intercooler is not needed unless you run higher boost, it is used to reduce the air intake temperature and help avoid detonation,but wont help withthe engine temperature.
So in my opinon if you are going 5 or 6 pounds an intercooler is basically useless, of course if you want to later upgrade to 10 psi you'll have the intercooler but you'll still need the double pump and possibly new injectors.
I bought the HO kit but didnt install it yet, however if Ford sells it I am quite sure the tume is conservative and wont harm your engine unless you constantly run at 6000 rpm, rpm is what kills your engine.

I would say that since your not shooting for 500+hp that no need at all to go with the whipple. Sounds like a good route for the HP numbers your going for is the Rousch as if installed at a dealership, will maintain warranty.

I went with the HO kit (intercooled) and had the 8 LB pulley installed. The Dyno tune is very conservative with a 6000 RPM cutout and keeping the fuel a little fat at the top end. Car runs great. I have been running it on the street for about 3 months now and have taken it down the track for 12 passes so far. I went for the intercooled system because I live in Arizona and the Intake air is HOT enough already and I also will probably have the engine built for more boost in the future.

RE: Project BumbleBoost (Whipple S/C)
your setup sounds close to what i'm after.....i wonder if
going with the HO kit and running the 6 LB pulley, is
the best way to meet my objective (~ 400rwhp @ ~ 6psi)
