Never actually put it on the dyno but I would say about 580 ish. The few times I had it at the track it went 125-127mph and it was at 3900lbs with me in it.

Does the Whipple make more power at the same psi as a KB? I know they are similar in HP output, but pound for pound which one is the best? I would think the Whipple would be a little more expensive than the KB since the KB is the more popular.
I'm asking because I'm thinking about getting a Cobra and I know that the stock supercharger will be coming out...Nice Cobra by the way....

Whipple 2.3 and Kenne Bell 2.2 I think are about the same,,,maybe a slight edge in power to the Whipple. The tie breaker for me was the looks,,,I think the Whipple looks better.

I'll have more vids of the coupe at the track soon. Gonna try for his first 10sec. pass.

Good vid...nice race!

the boost on the KB comes in more violently, the whipple is nicer for street driving

Yea because it's basically not true, both are positive displacement blowers and both make boost almost instantly. Any difference if there is any can be offset by your pulley combo. There have been ALOT of KB failures locally also.

Did you have to pull the snout and have it polished? I think it looks really nice man!

What would have happened if you guys run at the track? I'm thinking the coupe could easily beat you then. Right? Your car doesn't seem to be set up for the track to put the power down like him.

My best is 11.30 at 125mph his is 11.40 at 117,,,,but he added 2lbs boost since then so who knows.
