I have seen builds like these before and I have always wondered why go with a huge blower like this over a properly sized turbo? I would think the turbo would be the better solution?

Also haven't official looked in this. How much is a whipple like that? I know the rear entry blower, Kurt urban made a sheet metal elbow that was better then what whipple came up with.

I believe this 4.5 sandrail kit sells for around 8500. Not 100% sure on that though.

Turns out I was mis informed...this build is going to be featured on one of the power block shows. I assume horsepower tv but I don't even know if that show is still on the air. It's been years since I've watched that. Lol

A properly sized turbo can't produce the same curve that a positive displacement blower can. Sure, turbos make more power overall but I guess it's just how you plan to use it.

That crush some dreams.

Yeah this is a pricy kit. But it's also good for 1700hp. We have plenty of kits that are still capable of lots of hp and that are cheaper.

Is there a website that has these kits with pricing?

Bondobird

I would just call up Whipple. The number for sales is (559)442-1261
The website is out of date because we're in the process of building a new one.

Maybe a dumb question and possibly one that has been covered before, but is there suck a thing as a LS1 Whipple complete blower kit for our cars? It seems like most of the Whipple builds I've seen require a lot of modification and fabrication. Just curious if there was a simple bolt on and go kit out there.

Bondobird

We do have ls1 kits but not for a 4th gen f-body. They wouldn't fit without tons of cutting. I believe the ls1 kits we sell are for sand rail kits

Lol thanks... This is the article I was reading that made me buy that engine for my project. Would love to hear what program it will be on so I can watch it. Thanks again!

Any update on this yet?

Bondobird

I've been checking lsxtv.com every day for the article. They said it's pretty much done. I'll post it here the day it ones out.

Bondobird

Well lsxtv finally posted part 2 of the article...but it's a teaser! Lol. Part 3 is what I'm waiting for. Part 2 is still a good read. Here it is.

Good article! It's still to bad they had issues with the dyno since it would have been nice to have seen a dyno graph starting down lower in the 2k rpm range. I'm actually also surprised they used regular 5/16 dia. .080" wall PR's, and not larger diameter/thicker walled PR's.

I've then got to wonder how well that Crane cam 228/244 115lsa (+3.5~+4) would perform with a smaller 2.9L Whipple on a regular production LS3..?

What cam sensor do you have in that thing I've been going through hell with a carb sensor setup
