Default Just fired up my 3.3L Whipple on my C5 Z06

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1774986

A/W experimental IC..

at the moment it fits under my ACI maggie hood and soon may fit under MOST hoods.

Should be no problem with cowl, etc. on F body, GTO . etc.

rated at 1000hp/1000t (at fly)

Thats pimp as sh*t!

We just installed a 3.4l Whipple on a cobra. It has our stroker motor and non return fuel system. we should be tuning it tomorrow or Sat.

The one thats gonna be a BEAST is a 03 Cobra, 3.4l Whipple, HPP Billet Rodded Stroker, HPP Ported Heads, HPP Billet Blower Cams, Stainless Steel Valves, Dynamic C4, Weldon return style system and some weight out. Should be piiiiiimp!

Not a roots

Twin screw

Belt setup is fine to 10 psi or so...decent belt wrap helps

This is just a prototype...low boost 600/600 in that range

I will be turning it up in a bit.

This one will probably end up around 750 to 800 rwhp on a forged 346, Callies rods, Dart 225's (slightly worked), kooks, Borla, 8 rib setup, Aeromotive fuel system, hp tuners sd tune.

I will probably be doing a 2.3 or 3.3L on an fbody in a few weeks or so.

I am working on some stuff...hopefully to fit this under OEM C5 and C6 hoods.

Should be interesting

I am keeping the IC under raps for bit...could be a patent candidate.

Thanks for the thumbs up guys!

No plans for 80 malibu's at the moment, but that shouldn't be to hard.

Will post more pics and/or or a vido soon...

Preliminary numbers to come early next week.

stay tuned.....
