I am putting mine on the dyno Monday afternoon. Will update this accordingly! :rockon:

Curious to see how this little 2.2 KB likes the corn!

Well...if your little KB likes the corn fuel as much as my little Whipple, then you'll be thrilled with the results!!:beer: My car made 497rwhp with a Steg stage 4 ported Eaton and 92 octane...that was at 18 psi & ~19º of timing. I dropped on the Whipple, changed nothing else, and made 637rwhp at 17psi & 22º of timing in 82º ambient temps:rockon:
I might add that since then, I've determined that the JLT CAI I had on the car used a filter capable of flowing under ideal conditions ~500 cfm...my motor combo requires ~1156 cfm. Now I'm running my own intake RAI design with a K&N filter capable of flowing ~1200 cfm....can't wait to retune the motor to see if this change ups the power???

I've been driving it on the street for the past 3-4 months, so I know it has picked up a nice amount of power. Just not sure on #s since it was tuned on the street. :rockon:

We had a beautiful dry/warm day here in KC today, so the Cobra was pulled out of hibernation to strectch its legs a bit. I did some data logging and noticed that much to my surprise, my total timing was only 19.5* and not 22* as I previously posted. With that being said, 637 rwhp with ~18 psi and 19.5* of timing isn't too shabby at all. Good luck with the dyno.

Well, just got back. I only got one "good" pull. There were not any fans whatsoever for the car or heat exchanger during the pulls or between pulls.

1st pull - Tires spun, made like 160rwhp.

2nd pull - 5 - 10 minutes after the first run. Not really a chance for a cool down when you have no fans or anything. This time a buddy sat in the back seat, as well as two on the trunk. 624/570

3rd pull - 20-25 minute cool down and put a bag of ice on the blower. 657/608

Not extremely happy with the results but it was nice to see 650+ that last pull when I finally got a good pull in. I feel like there is more left in it for sure with a good first pull and if there was a fan to hep with cooling.

Hard to swallow giving $60 for 3 "pulls" when the first one didn't do shit.

That's not bad considering you made 100 less HP and 160 less TQ with the more expensive 91 Octane. :thumbsup:

List updated!

I would bet you could easily pick up 25 HP by adding timing.

Exactly what I'll be running, thanks. I was hoping for at least 650 or more.
