3.4L Whipple first drive
Well it has been a long road, but my car is almost completeI flew down to ST Motorsports yesterday and spent the day at the shop. My 4r70w tranny that they were installing took longer than expected, so we did not get to go to the track[&:]We did get it together for a little test ride though. Adam was at the wheel and let me tell you that I do not know that Redfire car anymore[:-]It used to be a pretty fast car, but now it is freaking Lucifer. Adam launched (17" M&H dr's) and it hooked with a little slide, hit second and more slide. The G force glued me to the seat and poped one of my axel back Borlas off (I installed those). I will not ride in my car again, I get scared when I am not in controll.
Anyway here are some links from my build and a picture of the stock tranny's input shaft that snapped last week. BTW Clutchmasters did a prototype twin disk for my car and it has stock pedal feel and grips like crazy. It was the one that was used when for the snappage. ST has them with aluminum pressure plate for 1200 or so. One more item...Adam has the 3.4L Whipple kit complete for sale. Whipple is boxing them as a complete kit and due to
Adam doing all the R & D Adam is the only one who can sell them

Picture of my shaft (input is not working[:@]) I will post it later.

Well, as long as I don't break my input shaft, I will be happy.
You know, the advantage of havingyour prototype clutch....is its getting a lot of attention from those who built it. You know for a fact that there will be no manufacturing flaws.
I'm still wondering how much power the 3.4L takes to make 14psi boost, vs the 2.3L.

At 14 psi I think it would be close....at 20 psi there is 100 extra ponies available. I will be running 17psi for the street and track. Adam's wifes car is laying down 10.xx runs with the 2.3 Whipple. She even has a stock crank in it with forged pistons and Scat rods.
