anyone buy the new gen3 2.9 whipple for a cobra post reviews about efficiency compared to older 2.9
I made the same post. I think it's too early. Nobody replied. I'd like to see results as well. Hopefully we see some numbers.
I'm on the fence on selling my car so I won't be the guinea pig. Was also ordering parts for an auto swap but lost interest in the car. Took it out today and lwas just bored and didn't enjoy it.
blower looks nice. No final numbers?
[/QUOTE]6R80 swap and it will feel fun again lol. I get the bored blues all the time too but this will be my last go around with modding a car. Way too expensive hobby for me to start over but man the newer stuff is great.
I think the guy fired in up on Thanksgiving eve. Not sure if the guy could pull that magic off and get it on a Dyno. I haven't rechecked the thread yet.blower looks nice. No final numbers?
Stout number!Looks like jared at lethal just tested the 2.9 on a coyote on low boost. 815 hp
I plan on staying 2.3 on my current car for ever. 600 is plenty of power for me to get stupid with.gotcha. I was talking to my tuner at mustang magic and hes like, we just buy sell buy sell these blowers for minimal gains at the end. we start with a 2.2L blower and end up with a 3.4 lol. If you really look at the gains, time spent and money, its small increments. we will see what this new 2.9 will do and he has a crusher!! It should put down some nice numbers even on a stock motor

Now I don't feel so bad about my Posi ported Eaton car. But anyone with a mint 2.2 KB, I'm interested. If there is one...sometimes I wish I had the will power to have left the car with a 2.80 pulley, steeda cold air intake, borla stinger catback, tune. Thats all I had and it made 460rwhp 485 rwtq. Easy to drive and handle on the road, no messing with fuel system, and you can beat the shit out of that setup all day and be fine.
Like jimmy vaccaro told me, the god father of mustangs back in 03, he said Alex, don't go down the slippery slope!!
we will see what happens this spring. If I still feel the same way, Im selling it and getting a c7 vette.
I follow this guy on Instagram. @svt_ajames_z06. He was having a lot of issues with spark cutout in the higher rpms. He ended up only making 513/704 in the first couple of runs. Then it was worked out, to which he was being hush hush about the numbers, but it was shutting off on him constantly and not holding a steady idle. A lot of guys believe it is due to a shitty MAF setup and also the tuner. Last post he had was in regards to selling his cobra because he's tired of the issues. We shall see...
If you pick up a 2.2 kb, I prefer the ones that had the oil catch can. The first run kbs used to spew oil from the snout. so they added a catch can. believe it or not, the ones with the catch cans, make more power. when I bought a used 2.2, I made sure I found one with the catch can.
Im sure you are familiar with snake bite that mustang magic built, the black cobra that did the fly by in front of the shop on youtube. That car was only set at 15lbs of boost in that film. That car had the catch can kb. I was standing behind the camera man that day and I drove the car before we filmed it. It wasnt made to be such a huge hit but the original video had over 10 million views.
anyway, something happened to the blower. some kind of seal in the snout went. The owner of mustang magic, when he sent it in, told jim bell himself, DO NOT change anything on that blower. Leave the catch can as is, dont mess with it and do not upgrade to the newer snout. Interesting right? lol
