[QUOTE="68gtscode, post: 16763870, member: 71404"] My point to the OP was that since he already has a Gen 1 VMP, he might not be that happy with the Gen 2 Whipple 2.9. Given his choice of blowers, I assume he’s on a stock engine and likely runs pump gas. I think a VMP or newer Whipple of some type on such a setup may provide a more satisfying torque curve. I can’t speak to the later generation Whipples, as I’ve never had one. I did have a VMP Gen2R on another car, and it was amazing for such a small rotor pack. Anyhow, I never meant to imply the Whipple 2.9 regardless of generation was not a good blower or doesn’t perform well. If I didn’t like Whipples, I wouldn’t have bought two of them. My GT500 would spin drag radials at probably 90mph in cool weather when coming up on boost. But immediate throttle response driving from stoplight to stoplight wasn’t as satisfying as it could be. Like I said, I put 4.10s in that car which helped. But if I were starting over on a stock engine GT500 on pump, I’d research newer Whipples and VMPs vs the Gen 2 Whipple 2.9. My $0.02, perhaps free for a reason! [/QUOTE]
