[QUOTE="04blackSVT, post: 4560671, member: 19443"] As far as the "sound factor" it has a higher pitch whistle than an eaton. When driving slow through parking lots, school zones, I never forget I am running a whipple (even then it has a noticeable whistle). When accelerating, I can defenitely hear the blower over my exhaust. I am running Bassani X-pipe and Bassani Cat-back with baffles removed. Which is a pretty loud exhaust. It probably isn't as loud as a ported blower, it just makes a different sound. As far as HP numbers, how much power do you want to make on a stock block? I run a 17lb pulley (3.0in) and I made 590rwhp/570tq and I was spinning on a mustang dyno. That has got to be close to 700hp at the flywheel. To compare it to a dynojet dyno, I would probably be in the low 600's. A few cars on this site are running KB 2.6 and 2.8 owners are making 600 to 620 hp on 17 to 20 lbs of boost. Not all, but some. My point is the numbers are very close, seems like people are battling over 20-30 hp at most, on a stock block with stock cams. Now if you want all out power with a built motor and a "blower" cam, then yes I would say the bigger KB units would probably net you more HP. But if your going that far why not go turbo. Bottom line.....I think, they are really close. Both are quality made and put out power. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. What's going to matter in WHO tunes your car, and how aggressive you want to get with the timing. Good luck with yor decision. I vote whipple. [/QUOTE]
