Default Cathedral port whipple

Honestly why does whipple not make a cathedral port supercharger kit for the 98-02 f bodys. The demand from what I have seen would make them produce quite a number of these type of superchargers for the public. A direct bolt on kit would sell, end of story. The ls3 kits are nice and have low iat's which is what holds some other companies back. I myself would like to see a kit made for the 98-02 f body that would be a direct bolt on... And one day purchase one.

Because a Whipple would never fit under the cowl.

I believe dragon race engineering makes a 3.3 whipple that will fit under the stock hood. I know they fit under the hood of a cts-v with little effort.

There is a big thread on another site about the dragon racing kit. It looks legit but the lower intake doesnt flow as expected and the customer fought and fought with it and finally went vortech instead.

The 2010 Camaro Whipple kit could probably be adapted, but LS3 heads and 2010 Camaro accessories would be needed.
