Whipple 2.9 vs. 2.3???

I don't think there is ever enough horsepower. But I went with the 2.9 Whipple and love the instead torque. Can't my foot out of it. Even though it's not my daily driver i have fun driving it every chance I get. Now I'm setting plans on going built.
Yes got the the 2.9 Whipple and tried getting a custom tune here locally but turned they couldn't tune the drivability part right after being in there shop for a month. So I got an email tune from Jon Lund and has been driving good since. I still haven't dyno it yet since Jon Lund tune. But plan to here pretty soon before I go built.
I think the only way a 2.9 will outshine a 2.3 is at really high boost levels. So, that being said, if you don't want to build your motor, you should probably not push either to really high boost levels. So, no......lol
Either blower is capable of producing more power and boost than your stock motor can handle. If you don't want to build your motor, the 2.3 is likely operating in a more efficient zone.
if your not building a motor and dont plant on it 2.3 is fine but im finding out if i go to 9.5:1 comp ration i may need to switch to a 2.9 to get the power level i want
The 2.9 is more efficient above 10 psi. I believe one of the magazines did a test. You are going to need more boost for same power you were making with the 11:1 compression.
just mentioned this in the other post lol
