That's it for now.

talk about torque. If you could make that thing hook launching out of the hole it would be a hell of a ride

a maggie will actually get you this if its all you want. runs out of steam somewhere in the 550-600 rwhp range if you do everything to get the most out of it. but i agree a TS blower would be much better

That's the thing. From what I've read about the maggie kits is that if you pick the right cam, heads, headers and spin the supercharger as quick as you can, you'll around 525-550hp. Which isn't bad, but if I can get a larger whipple to work, and spin it half as fast and make more power, than that's the route I'd like to go.

i'm sure a little hacking will be involved, but probably only as much as the maggie, thats if u space the k-member and mod the motor mounts to lower the engine some more. so i can see a 2.9 fitting.

From looking at the drawings on the whipple site, there isnt a large dif. in actual size of the blowers going from 2.9-4.0
2.9 is 15.28L X 5.14T X 7.88W
3.3 is 15.16L X 6.24T X 9W
4.0 is 16.09L X 6.24T x 9W
Unless the intake is arranged differently, Going from a 4.0L to a 2.9 L will only gain -1" lenght and -1" height. The width isnt really an issue as far as I can tell.

I hope you're right...that enough people don't want the sawzall kit.......cause it will be a one of a kind build. That was what I was shooting for. Trying to be different.

the big deal about the whipple (twin screw) compared to the maggie (roots) is that it is a much more efficient and can handle higher power levels without just blowing hot air. maggie 112's which is the only real option at the moment are done at 11-12 psi compared to upwards of 20+psi on a whipple. they also make more power throughout the powerband typically.
