Whipple 2.3 guys in here please!!

[03blwn281]

Looking at getting a 2.3 and wanted to ask what pulley combos make what PSI and how much power is safe...
Looking at making 650 RWHP.

Thanks in advance..

Your not gonna get at that power level on pump gas. Do you plan on running Torco, E-85 or race gas?

Did you even bother looking .. the 2.3 boost levels and pulley combos have been discussed a million times .. to make 650rwhp you will have to boost it over 20lbs and you may wanna think about a different fuel than just pump

Sorry didn't check but thought I could hear it first hand.
Was thinking of doing a 3.0 and 2lb lower

Ok your looking at 20lbs of boost. With all the supporting mods like full exhaust, upgraded fuel system, MAF, CAI/RAI, and single blade TB your looking at about 630 give or take with at least torco and pump gas.

if it's not a daily, and you have E85 anywhere in the vicinity....don't even mess around. Go straight for the corn. Not only will it out "peak" a pump 93 setup...the mid and low range gains will be exponentially stronger. 93 is a joke in comparison

thanks!

Thanks..I would be happy with that. This is going into a Foxbody project I have going on.
Anything else you can think please feel free to pm.

I run 16.7 psi and 19.5º of timing on E85 (3.5" & 4lb lower) and made 657 rwhp easily....raise the boost a couple psi, increase the timing to 22-23º and 700 rwhp is there. If I had a do over, I would have bought the 2.9 and called it good. You will need at least 80's, two big pumps, and the obvious supporting mods.

LOL... 94 octane pump gas will get you right close to 650 at the wheels..

On a happy dyno? On pump 93 I dont know any tuner that is gonna say yeah I will tune your car at 23lbs of boost on pump gas.

I made 672 rwhp on 18 lbs and pump gas..... With the cams

Oh wow that's even with a twin blade lol. With a single and new intake it should be a nice pick up in power. Post up the results when you get it done.

I will for sure post them up still have stock intake tube with big filter and bbk tb (came with the car)
