Let me just say that the Super Snake (725 rwhp option) comes with the 2.8 Kenne Bell.

I happen to like my KB.

thanks for the info guys. i was considering a 3.4 whipple but due to all the excess work that goes with it i might resort to 2.9 which is still tremendous power. anyone need a venom hood =)

provided you buy their 3.4L whipple install kit

for an additional $725 it will fit under the stock hood which as I pointed out earlier means changing motor mounts etc....I still feel you are better off with the TVS...at least until some people test and try out the whipple 2.9....

i checked with whipple, the 3.4l is too big, and like you said its not about size. i thought about the 2.9l but again like you said its only coming out in 30-60days.

my questions are:
why all these kits come without a cooler?
why does whipple sell the supercharger+throttle body only? (no tuner,cooler,intake)
if i go for tvs, how can i get it?

thanks again guys.
no problem anytime...good luck to you....
No cooler, because they utilize the stock intercooler..however you can always upgrade relatively cheap
I believe most sites (lethal etc) sell it with a tune etc...the TVS come with the FRPP tune...which is conservative so warranty can be maintained...however..many great tuners like Justin (VMP) and John Lund) at evolution have some great proven tunes for them....
TVS, you can get it from vmptuning.com....or ebay ...allot of places sell them reasonable...blue oval has them ..hope this helps..

i cant argue w/ PLstang's track proven performance. KB is a tried and true SC for the mustang.

just playing devil's advocate here, the motor mounts and mods to put in the 3.4 whipple, maybe it's easier to put another hood on there.
