Default whipple dragon

might be old news but has any one seen the new whipple dragon supercharger for C5,C6 vettes. It looks like if you were willing to give up AC and relocate battery you could probably make it work on a f-bodywww.notasponsor.com

As much as we would LOVE for one of these to fit an F-Body, there just is not enough room.

damn thats badass. You could probably make it work, may take a few modifications like the Magnacharger. I give it a week before someone on here asks if they have installed one on thier F Body yet and if it does how do they like it and what numbers did it put down. Any takers on that? If someone sent me a Whipple I will install it and make it work after i get this one i got going first of course

I've seen quite a few setups in third gens like that. It's quite possibly the easiest way to adapt something like an eaton m90 or m112.

I think its the same style, but smaller blower...they just flipped it on its side and slid it down inbetween the engine and strut tower. not a bad concept but not my cup of tea.

The supporting vendor quotes $7190 + $2000 for install and tune. My buddy was quoted $2400 for install and tune when he called.
