Whipple on Stock Fuel system

Whipple 2.3 Can I bolt it up and be safe?

As Long as I don't up the boost.....

I plan on 60#ers Twin GT pumps and a ba 2600 with the 6# lower....later on

Also where should I buy the mounting gaskets for the whipple from?

my buddy is on stock fuel.... he put down 620 hp

No bap no inj?

You can go with either a BAP or twin GT pumps if that is your preference.

You will need the 60's most likely even with the stock pulley set up that comes with the Whipple.

Personally I would not bolt it on until you have the supporting mods.

For the gaskets just give Steve @ Tousley a call.

I got all my new gaskets for the swap for $68 shipped to my door.

I wouldn't put it on without the supporting mods... Doesn't make any sense dude...

you will need #60's i was going to do a BAP but when i got to the Dyno it was not needed.

When i installed my whipple i did 60lb injectors and Bap and made 623rwhp

Yes you will be okay on the stock boost with out the fuel mods. You will though have to take your blower off later if you want to put 60's in. Go with a BAP instead of GT pumps. Wish it had went that route first instead of wasting money on GT pumps. Ended up needing a BAP also but I'm at 19-20 psi.

I would be extremely shocked if you could run stock boost on a gen 2 Whipple and get away with the stock fuel system. My FPDC was in the 90's with my 2.93 and ported Eaton.

whipple fuel mods

I would suggest GT pumps, & stage 2 FPDM, 60lb inj., & do the head cooling mod while u have the blower off. The new gen 2 whipples should make 15-16lbs with stock 3.5 upper. Maybe the boost a pump for extra safety. The stock fuel rails will be fine.

The Gen 2 has got to be good for 530-550 at stock boost levels... way too much.

whipple's site says anything up to 13 lbs is safe. just keep it safe until you finish it

It's gen 1.
Thnx for the help

yes but it is at a lower pressure level, moving more air and doing so at cooler intake temperatures. Injector cycles will lower due to the ecu not having to richen it up because of hot IAT2's.

You should be good to go but i would try to get a few passes on a dyno to check your afr's just to be safe, unless you have a wideband, which i highly recommend.

That may be true but the stock pumps without some help still can't move that much fuel.

I would not risk it but...

If you have a stock paper air filter and box, and a stock cat back you might get away with it.

If you have replaced the stock air filter with CAI or drop in, or have an aftermarket cat back, THEN YOU ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE!

This all assuming a stock lower crank pulley and the 3.50" upper Whipple pulley as well.

Why dick around? Do it right the first time.

If you have a stock air filter and stock exhaust, you can definitely do it. I ran my car that way for a year with no issues and 490 RWHP. It is a great way to have a quiet car that makes quite a bit of power.

I did have it dyno tuned though. I wouldn't even consider it without having the car professionally tuned. Tuner said my car started going lean pretty fast above 3K RPM. It will also highlight any issues with the pumps, MAF or injectors. If you are considering higher boost later though, it is certainly worth doing the injectors at the same time.
