Hostile Snake! I love it. That is quite a transformation over time. I bet you wish you had some of that money back getting to where you are now. But, it was worth it, right? Awesome car. You going to stick with the 2.8 now?

You have no clue, or actually i'm sure you do..lol So manyy trial, errors and frustrations and triumphs with blowers, fuel, pulley combos,gearing ,exhaust, clutch,tranny wheels , tires etc.etc.Worth it... now....Abso freakin lutely!! This is the first year that i actually have just driven it and enjoyed it with friends! And always being ahead of them definitely makes me get a sh-t eatin grin!!! I get nothing but thumbsup on the road, car meets ,shows wherever and they recognize the hard work,time and money that went into it, its a great feeling! Im done, i love this blower and have no regrets getting it.. Funny . the old timer, harddcore gearheads see the KB and they just smile and start telling stories!! Awesome! Thanks:rockon:

Sweet story and build man. A fellow Jersey boy too, nice! I'm actually just about ready to pull the trigger on upgrading myself. I have a ported eaton and am ready for more. Thing is I am confused on what to get. My choices are a Whipple 2.3, TVS, or KB if I can find one used. My tuner tried to convince me on the TVS and it sounds great and all, but after all the labor, additional parts, and tune it would set me back over 5Gs. I can save by getting a used blower. How much did you make with the Whipple? I am hoping to get close to 600rwhp reliably. Can the 2.3 get me there?

I can make you a great deal on a great condition used Whipple 2.3 or a new VMP TVS 2.3
Let me know if you are interested.

Hey , Thanks alot brother!! For you, pull the trigger. lol where in jersey? I had the gen 2 whipple and it was nothing like my friends gen 1, youll make easily in the 600 range with the whipple 2.3, the only issue was it ran pretty hot. I wanted a blower that could grow if i did more mods down the road. But if your looking at 600 and could find a whipple , go for it and better yet a gen1 ! Goodluck!:beer:

Awesome! Thanks for the advice bro! :beer: I am in South Hackensack. I hear ya on the growing part. This hobby is so addicting so chances are I may take your path as time goes on. Where are you in NJ? Let's meet up sometime. I would love to check out the fruits of your labor. :rockon:
