Looks like you would have to cut the windshield to fit that in a f-body.

Why would you buy a hood that can clear it? Just buy one with a hole in it big enough to fit it through! Automatic-showstopper!


The whole idea of putting that in a Camaro sounds freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I help? PLEASE!!!!

lol, you guys kill me. When I was talking about putting a 3.3L whipple on my 408 a few months ago, everyone told me it was a horrible idea and I had to go turbo. So, i went turbo. I still think I should have put the whipple on. They have them in stock, ready to ship and the only issue I would have had was clearing the TB around the firewall which Starr Performance has already figured out.

So why listen to us then??????? If you wanted to go with the whipple then you should have gone with the whipple. Everyone told me to go with a 6.0 or bigger but I wanted to build a 4.8. So I did. You have to do what you feel will be the best. I still feel that you will be very, very, very happy with your turbo setup.

yep i agree, although the trubo will be faster then the whipple an more reliable. No belt ****, no heat soak etc etc. Plus to get it right i think it will cost more personally.

Damn that whipple looks badass. Also, Mike got to see your car on april 28th, the thing is unreal. Don was about to put it on the dyno for the final tune with steve B there. Wanted to stay but I felt bad since my GF was there with my from 1pm-7pm lol. Love the wheels and that custom center mount exhaust!
