It has been advertised for a long time, but I am not aware of anyone using it. It is really intended for off-road vehicles. I know my new Sand Sports magazine shows several companies using it on LSX's - www.Mechtech-ms.com and www.redlinepeformanceonline.com. You might have better luck talking with them or checking the off-road vehicle websites for information concerning people's experience with them. The GTO guys are using Whipples using the Australian based Starr Performance kit, but I don't think it is intercooled. Have you thought about just using a KB 2.8 instead? This is for a swapped LSX right? In your 69 or another vehicle?

It is only for sand rails with LS1s and what not. It is in no way designed to fit in an Fbody engine bay. Whipple is a local company here in Fresno and I looked long and hard into this.

Starrperformance does a 2.3/3.3 Whipple setup for the GTO.With the 3.3 it won't fit under a stock GTO hood .I have one that I am in the process of adapting to my Tahoe.They use a cogged belt setup,but I have opted to go with a ATI 8 rib pulley setup.

Check out the "Hometown Hot Rodding" on Pg 53 of the March 2007 PHR. There is a 69 in the build process with a 3.3 on a 408. The height looks like it will clear a 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inch Cowl Hood.
