I know of a coated turd that just went [email protected] making it the quickest positive displacement blower mustang in the land. (Quicker than any toaster)
4.0L Whipple Power!!
Congrats to those guys on a great run. We're all on the same page about going fast whether it's a coated turd or a polished toaster.........:beer:
It will be interesting to see what the csx2396 Cobra Jet on a huge weight loss diet like the 7 second pass mentioned above can put together so we have a good comparo. Weight to weight would be nice to know.
As for GT500's. Kenne Bell equipped GT500's have the records for the fastest ET's in the Quarter Mile, Shelby Mark, Ferraro Kid and the standing Mile with the Texas Mile Super Snake driven by me. :rockon:
I'm all Whipple, but only because I prefer the appearance of it. The KB's always seemed too... I don't know, industrial looking, I guess for lack of a better term. I don't know why the engines appearance is so important to me, but I always loved the way the Whipple looked atop a well planned out and detailed engine bay.
Both of them will make a GT500 go faster than you'll ever need to go on the street and for most of us, faster than you'll ever be able to pilot it without some serious dedication and commitment. Hell, if you think about it, there aren't very many of us that have actually gotten the most out of the combo that came with the car, let alone getting the most out of any of the available twin screws...
I know its not a 500, but dam, tell me that thing aint sexy....

hideous
just not my style, i was never into the "polished/chrome/gloss EVERYTHING" engines. bare aluminum block/heads, wrinkle ford blue cam covers, and a wrinkle black whipple mod motor for me!Yeh, they're so damn ugly;

JMO
And seeing as though there's a few turds already posted 
, here's another polished shoe box thingy, just to even things up a bit ya know.

I could see laying a few pieces of bread on top of it making toast. Defintely looks like a non stick surface.
IS ALL preference ..in my book I like the go fast parts regardless of how they look , that being said I will take the one that brings more power / reliable performance ..it just seems that the 03-04s cobras run harder with whipples but you have the big brother shelby making and running better numbers with the kenne bells !! OP , IMO I will just talk to jared @ LETHAL AND Van @ VAN RACING to discuss your HP goals etc ..I'm sure they both will be helpful and they know their stuff ! Glad to have them locally for me
