[QUOTE="68gtscode, post: 16552246, member: 71404"] I hesitate to respond because I am not very familiar with the Trinity TVS or Gen 4 Whipple, but still have some potentially useful input. I had an 09 GT500 with a Whipple 2.9 (I believe Gen 2?) along with long tubes, etc. Shaun at AED tuned it, and it did 700rw on 91 and 730 on 93. Although I liked the car well enough, it wasn’t nearly as fun as the Whipple 2.3 Cobra it replaced. The Cobra with the little Whipple spun hard had so much more low and mid range, and instant throttle response. It was great with a stick. I put 4.10s in the GT500 which helped, but it was still a very heavy, lumbering car. My next Mustang was a 13 GT with a Gen 2 long block, cams, long tubes, etc. with a VMP Gen 2R. It made mid 700s on 93 and 840rw on e85. Its a bit difficult to compare that car to the GT500 because it had a built 6R80 with a converter, and the coyote is a higher spinning engine, but that little TVS ripped! I can’t help but think it would be a better blower for a heavy first gen GT500 at the 850rw level than my Whipple 2.9 would have been. Perhaps the Gen 4 2.9 or 3.0 make more mid range? If not and you’re content with the power capability of the TVS, that is the direction I would go for a heavy street driven stick car. [/QUOTE]
