whipple questions

[greenstanggt99]

I'm going to be purchasing a Whipple for my 03 cobra in the spring, most likely a 2.3 unless someone has some good suggestions, i'm open to them.

What upper/lower pulley combo would be recommended?

All of my internals are still stock. I know I need to upgrade to 60# injectors, I already have a KB BAP, I will be upgrading my MAF to a sct BA 2400, currently it has a diablosport mafia chip. I have coming to me an accufab TB and plenum.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

depends on what you want out of it. is it a dd or just a wknd toy? im running a 2.8 upper and stock lower and right around 20lbs or so with nothing but 103 octane in the tank. lol obviously no dd

 

[greenstanggt99]

it's not a DD, just my weekend toy...

im running my pump gas tune with a stock 3.5 upper whipple pulley and a 4# lower which puts me at 17lbs, which i think most guys do for a pump gas tune...

For a new Whipple Gen2 go with a 3.2 upper pulley and stock lower. This should give you about 17 psi. It's a great pump gas level and will be plenty of fun.

I would also just go with a MAFia for the MAF upgrade. It will work just fine.

LOL....19 psi, 100 Octane and 23 degrees timing FTW!

Gonna have to try that one day.

I will. Maybe in the spring time. I'll have to get a 2.75 pulley for mine though.

the 3.0 on a gen 2 should give you 17psi with mid lengh bassanis???

dont know man. the 3.0 on my gen 2 hit 20psi on dyno in 97 F heat, and stabilizied @ 19 psi.

i cannot speak for headers, as I use the stock logs, maggie catted X, and borla stingers

Good move, you'll definitely enjoy it. I've got the 2.3 and I'm running 3.0 upper/stock lower and using 93 octane on the street. I add/mix 103 octane at the track. Pushing some where between 16-17 lbs.

My weekend warrior has a Whipple Gen 2 with a 3.1" upper and stock lower. Car made 585 RWHP on a pump gas tune and is all you would want to handle on the street.
I really can't get high octane, unleaded fuel around here so I'll keep it safe and conservative. My goal at this point is 10.90's at full weight and with the IRS. Once I can get that with a pump gas tune, I'll start playing around with more timing and higher octane fuel and probably swap in a solid axle.

I'm making 20psi with stock lower and 3.00" upper pulley on 93 octane.

go with the 3.4 whipple- im running 26 pds of boost on race gas on stock sb:dancenana:

 

[greenstanggt99]

thanks for all the good feedback, i think i have a pretty good idea of what direction i'm going to head in... wish spring would come soon!!

The Whipple 2.3 is a great blower for these cars. :rockon:

Hey, I bought an 04 with a Whipple 2.3 on it. How can I tell if it is Gen 2 or not? he guy said it was but you know how that goes sometimes.

A Gen 2 Serial number will start with 140-XXXX. So look behind the snout, where it mounts to the casing on the shiny metal flange. If it says 140- (4digit number) u have a gen 2
