I recently finished installing a new whipple 2.9 on 13 boss LS. Overall im extremely satisfied with whipple's quality and engineering that went into this kit. When searching for a blower i didn't want to cut/grind on any part, and i really liked the look of this new front feed design. The install was pretty simple and i wasn't left thinking whats the next step or how is that supposed to work? (we all have been there with aftermarket parts) I haven't driven it much yet as the tuning was just completed over the weekend but it feels extremely strong and sounds great. Short video below of it running, not sure how to embed.

Putting the blower drive on the jackshaft and the intake in the front sure does make for a super clean install.

Is it still just as easy to do pulley swaps?

Yes it does look super clean and one of the reason i wanted this setup, think it looks better then the rear inlet design. Also Pulley swaps are super easy with this setup.

Killer car. Love the blue whipple. I wish mine was blue, I have a black one and it can get lost in there.

Thank you, yeah Whipple charges an arm and a leg for the color option but i wanted it to match the valve covers.

Yeah the 600 they charge is a bit high. I bought mine used and thought about having it redone a different color but to do it right was going to cost me over 1k to have whipple tear it down for me before that happened. And honestly it seemed like a waste once I realized that. I live right next to whipple anyway and when I walked in to ask about doing that the guy basically told me it wouldn't look right the second time around anyway.

But now when I see your blue one it gives me the itch again. What gears are in the boss? 3.73?

yeah over 1k to change the color is crazy, i thought 600 was bad but it does add alot cosmetically. Yes it has 3.73s, i haven't driven it much yet so ill see how they do. im sure it will be a handful 1st 2nd 3rd.
