I may just take you up on that. We will need a few of different years of Camaros and Firebirds to test with so we make sure o all the parts work on all cars.

Anyone else interested in being a tester, email or PM me. Typicaly, we would need the vehicle for 6-8 weeks for fittment, calibration, and R&D.

Mike, I tried to PM you but it wouldn't allow it. I'm down for the tester car as well. I dont DD mine so being w/o it for 6-8 weeks wont kill me. Plus I already have an MP112 maggie installed, so I could offer some good comparison data, plus it would be good info for those of us that already have a maggie installed, to know what changes we need to make in prep for your kit.

Let me know

think i could fit it and have room... if this goes through im sure whipple would blow out sales. there are a TONE of people with f bodys that want to go Twin screw (including myself) the fast 102 would be gone! as long as iat's are not hot enough to cook eggs on the supercharger. i know dragon raging tried to make a supercharger for the f body but there lower intake SUCKED, used the whipple supercharger and there own lower cnc'd intake.

remember guys this isn't a roots blower, this is a twin screw, it is a positive displacement like roots superchargers. roots s/c's are the maggies, and eaton tvs superchargers. twin screws are more efficient.

I actually built my car with the intention of adding a Whipple. Talked to Mike a few times about 2 years ago about which kit to go with. I think I also spoke with Chris? once as well. At the time, the sandrail kit would have been my only option but now things have evolved a bit. Mike, I'm also interested in being a test mule. Since you cant receive PM's,I'll list what I've got here.

LS2 403 fully forged setup to run E-83 on boost with 9.8:1 comp
228/242 cam
TFS 220's hand ported

dual pump return fuel system with 2 separate 6an supply lines, 1 - 6an return
with 2 racetronix wiring kits.

9" Moser 35 spline axles/detroit locker

T-56 Liberty Face Plated/ viper output shaft

I'm willing to modify the cowl area as needed and have thought about relocating the Rt wiper arm to retain functional wipers.

Even though I went the Procharger route, I'm happy to see companies still bringing options to market for the 98-02 F-bodies.

Alright guys. PM's are working now. Will come back on here in the morning to chat some more. Too hard to do from the Blackberry. Glad there is still interest. Will talk to the higher up's tomorrow and see what we can do and how quick we can do it.

I would be interested as well. Seeing as I haven't bought a turbo yet id be willing to sell my turbo accessories and go this route.

I have had experience with factory supercharged fords lol It wasn't a mustang but a thunderbird sc 5 speed, pain in the @ss to work on and parts are outrageous.. it was a fun car for what it was, and it would surprise people. it wasn't Fast, but pretty quick for a bigger car
