Whipple 3.4 Owners

[VAMPIR3]

Has anyone with a Whipple 3.4 not upgraded to a Bigger Hood? It says on the website the stock hood can work with modification. What modification is that? Hopefully not cutting a hole in the top..lol
I am looking to get a bigger blower come this July and for the money the Whipple 3.4 seems to be where its at but not after adding money for a new Hood, Paint, Fuel Rails, etc....

Let me know please and if you have pics that would be :rockon:

you can get the mounts that drop your k member or cut the hood

^^^what he said. The GT 500's are using spacers for the k member.

Hey good call!

You can notch the hood braces and fit the 3.4 with the stock upper pulley size, or not bother notching the hood and make up some 1/2" K-member spacers. Cost is around $40 with new hardware and it only takes about an hour to make them.

Car doesn't handle any differently (Unless maybe you're a professional driver of some sort....) and I've had mine in place for over 4000 miles now without a problem.

Feel free to PM me with any questions about getting the blower setup right. They've proven to make some serious power.

Is there an upper pulley you can run and not have to use spacers or modify the hood?

Unfortunately no. The hood needs to be modified to clear the actual compressor housing. The pulley comes into play if it's larger than 3.5" and that is a problem only K-member spacers or a cowl hood will cure.

1/2" spacers are so easy it's not worth a second thought.

Do you know where I could find some pictures of the factory hood cut?

Modularfords and PM FOURCED or search him, he has some pictures I believe.

I run spacers like 357cstang and I built my own also.
