I'll see if I can get a video to capture the sound, it's definitely different.
so i ordered a 3.625 pulley today to help lower the boost just a little. checked the space under the hood and there is more than enough room between the pulley and underside of the hood. hopefully i can get it in soon and see how it does. of course ill be polishing it
will keep updated on what it does with boost
Probably. I know the 3.4 is much bigger than the 2.3/2.9 case. According to whipple the 2.3 and 2.9 are the same height. I can say this is probably true due to them both fitting under the strut tower brace
Malcolm notched and painted his hood when he was running the crusher. I saw some rub marks on another car running a gen 3 crusher. I think he still had his blanket in place.
its just money
I believe all the crusher cars are going to rub unless you use Kmember spacers. I asked Whipple why they didn't change the inlet on the 3.0 so it wouldn't have the problems of the earlier crushers. Their explanation was they didn't want to hurt flow, which is a crock of crap because the TVS inlet is every bit as big and it doesn't contact the hood. The problem is the whipple sits higher.

I agree, I believe it's a cost thing. They already have the casting so it's cheaper just to leave it be. And let's be honest, how many guys installing a blower capable of big hp like a crusher haven't "clearanced" a few parts along the way. Is what it is
Nooooooo lol.
I mean, at least get it dynoed with the 3.5! Bet it makes monster numbers!
Btw, did you add head studs?
