Looks amazing.

 

That's some inspiration there Mr. Black That whipple is incredible btw!! A whole different game there for sure!

@SR-71 Post a video of that monster when you're done!

 

got it fired up late tonight for the first time with the whipple. didn't really notice any increase in blower sound??? the surge is GONE!....HALLELUJAH!!! drove it about a mile or so to the gas station for some e85. the car drives much better and much smoother with the bypass valve.

Surging sucks plain and simple. anyone that like surging has a few screws loose in my opinion.

 

Going to make and post a video of it for us to drool.all over??? I have never heard a whipple sound quiet before in all of the offshore boats i've seen and chugged along side of in my 41 foot Apache and their engine compartments are all closed up and you can still hear them whining stoooopid loud from a distance and all covered up in their enclosed engine compartments. So perhaps you could contact, I think his name is Dustin and ask if there is anyway to get the whine louder. I am sure thats a very common question they get asked all the time and see what suggestions they have. Maybe I'm a wing nut but one of the things I asked BDS when I ordered mine for my vette was how I could make it whine as loud as possible and they suggested the pulley and belt upgrade which was an inexpensive upgrade to increase the whine so I went for iti think it was a 50 dollar upgrade if i remember correctly. I did it and my BDS blower never could whine like a whipple ...the 6-71 & 8....10...12...14.and 16-71s have their own unique whine sound but regardless it was music to my ears but I did wish it would have whined louder but it was clearly audible from a distance as it was when i finished that build.. ... I miss that car. I should build another blower motor out of this big block 1966 corvette 427 I have sitting here. It was built as a 900 hp blower motor but I only bought the long block but they did give me the blower intake manifold when I picked it up so maybe I can find a refurbished 8-71 and order a custom snout again.... I was more thinking of a "hair dryer" blower this time and not cut holes in hoods and have the top of the double barrel shot gun scoop sit as tall as the roof of the car because it's a real bitch to see around it... Especially when going around wide sweeping curves can't see a damn thing....
anyway im rambling.....

Let's hear it sir....

Best of luck in your build....

drove the car today. lots of whine going on. hard to tell what it is between the 8mm drive, the whipple and the quick change rear. idle video will follow when I figure out how to post it.

 

In for a video!

Did you ever see the Vengeance Racing black t bucket at LS Fest? That car was crazy.

 

was not at ls fest. would love to see a pic of the T. the video I has is crappy at best. great sound but crappy video. it's mp4 format and I can't upload it here.

what format do I need the video to be in to post it, John?

 

Eh, host it on Youtube and then share the link?

I'll look for pics of the LS T, it was crazy.

 

I know this is the wrong section, but I'll just leave this here....

 

Is that a good whine? Because if it’s the same whine I have to listen to it might be the most annoying sound in the world. I like the blower whine though so did my dad, I think that might be 1 of the few thing that ever made him smile and it be real.
