Just tuned my car with the Whipple

Left RET a hour or ago with 589/571 uncorrected and 575/562 corrected. Whipple 16# of boost, 91 octane, Ford GT pumps, upgraded FPDM, and 60's.

so how's the car feel scott? i haven't had a ride in a whipple car yet, but everybody says it's night and day and that it pulls like a monster on the top. congrats :beer:

Very cool. I am about to pull the trigger on a 2.3 I think. What pulley are you running to get 16psi. The 3.5 it comes with I was told gives 15 on a GEN 2. I wanted to run 17-18.

Also I was just trolling on the Vette boards in the ZR1 forum and one of the tuners on there said that SAE is not the right correction to use on a forced induction car and that only Uncorrected is. I wonder what Greg has to say about that.

I use a 3.1 pulley with a stock lower to achieve 16psi. I have bassani mids with no cats and turndowns so there isn't any restrictions to back boost up. I would say if you have full exhaust done, a 4lb lower with the 3.5 whipple upper would give you 17psi.

BTW, Greg says the same thing. The motor doesn't know what sae is. So uncorrected is what the car is making that day. It especially shouldn't apply to fouced inducted cars when we are basically bringing our own air. Sae was meant to even out numbers on N/A cars because they are affected most by climate. Turbo, supercharged, and especially nitrous, are not nearly as affected so the sae table is not correct for these types of induction. Take a blower car to sea level, and then take it to 3,000ft. It will run almost identical.

Definately different. The whole car pulls smoother and the top end is definately much stronger. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner.
