Is anyone running this supercharger I read all about tvs or turbos but never these it seems like a great supercharger
Good choice I think the whipple is the best designed supercharger out I would love to have one maybe Dec
I have looked at all the power adders would love to have cpr turbo but maybe to much work don't have that much time already have nitrous whipple will probably be the way I go
I Love my Whipple...2.9...10.58@134 on 93, 9.45@149 on E85.....
Who tuned your whipple setup?
Yea, you get what you pay for Last night I went 10.489@135 with my Stock Converter and 93 Octane....!!! So they must be Junk!! lol....
The Whipple's are great blowers but I think that the reasons that most people don't choose them can be summarized as follows.
#1. Cost
Paying a premium for essentially no power difference over a TVS setup when on a stock engine.
#2. Performance
The 2.9 Whipple provides minimal increases if any, at the track vs a 2.3 TVS even when coupled with a built motor. The 2.3 TVS has taken cars into the 8s with quite a few mid 9s.
#3. Reliability
The 2.9+ Whipple platforms don't use the first shiv on the balancer. There have been reports of coyote cranks having issues when the boost is turned up due to the extra stress.
I'm happy with my 2.3 TVS, but would love it if they made a 2.9 or bigger!

Thats Interesting, havent heard about that! I have an Aftermarket Balancer, but is this still an issue???
I don't believe anything has changed mechanically so I would assume the issue to still persist. From my memory it mostly affected the ATI 20% OD balancer 10 rib cars.
Thats EXACTLY what I have....Hmmmm...what would be the Symtoms??
Isn't the 10 rib conversion really expensive? Like over $2000?
I almost went with the Whipple (2yrs ago) as the shop I had my install/tune sells both. They steared me towards the Roush 2.3 because of its lower cost & better efficiency down low. That was before VMP came out with a better Gen 2 case too.

Yes, Apparantly it is, from what I've been hearing, however this Car was Built by Evolution before I bought it...
I've had a 2.9 on my 13 since the car was new. Runs off back of balancer just like the TVS not sure what problem I should be having. 12 psi and mid 10's on 18" DR all day long with 0 heat soak, no extra fans or upgraded heat exchanger here.
Everyone say TVS is cheaper, but what little I've looked at the upgraded stages it's very close to standard Whipple kit

This was the first thread I found in a quick search.

I remember that. He broke the crank on the used engine he bought, sorry used then rebuilt. Lol
In all seriousness its so hard to really judge any of this from posts. To many variables to take into consideration.
