2.9 Whipple

[Jroc]

To truly get a good comparison of how much HP the two different blowers make to each other at any given PSI you need to dyno them back to back on the same car/same dyno.

Thanks Ottis for the update

Cool. Also, reminds me that I need to watch Frailty again this weekend.

Let me try to catch up...the reason the 2.9s are being produced is because the 3.4 will not fit under a stock hood. Am i correct on this?

sure, that is one reason. another is maybe it will be more efficient than the 3.4...but we'll have to wait to see some tests on this

I talked to Whipple industries yesterday. Thay told me that the 2.9's should start shipping out next week.

That's assuming that the blow-off valve mount doesn't need a redesign and the supplier for the fasteners shipped the right bolts THIS TIME... etc. etc. etc. Whipple's 2.9 excuse cave has hit paydirt every time they hint at a ship date.

I wonder how much a used TVS would run me, will anyone of you Whipple 2.9 buyers have one for sale in the near future?

This is why vendors should zip it until they have hands on the product...but that's just my opinion.

I'm sure one of us will jump the broom $2500 - $3000 seems fair for a used TVS blower alone.

sounds like a fair price, i would be looking for a really good low low milage TVS blower for that price

Just passing on the info that I was given. I know they have drug thier feet on this, but I would like to think that a reputable company would not say they will be releaseing a product AND TAKING MONEY if they weren't going to. They have had excuses before, but have never said "we are shipping them out on blah blah", atleast not as far as I know.

sure, just as soon as they put the 2.9 on. if you can wait that long :lol1:

I ordered my 2.9 today! Another big thanks to Lethal for their help!!!

 

[Daddys GT500]

That is incorrect. I heard they had a simular issue with the early 03 cobra kb's. No such issue with the GT500 kb's. That's how rumors get started.

do what you want, doesn't effect my world.

Whipple 2.9L in 5.0 Mustangs & SF

5.0 Mustangs & SF had an article on this last year and it is on their website. I believe I used this article for reference when I put the 3.4L on my GT 500 last year. There weren't any instructions for the 3.4L at the time. You don't have to modify the fuel rails with the 2.9 if you stay with the stock injectors, although they will operate at a very high duty rate, and can use the stock hood but the KR does look pretty nice!
