No real problems with the Whipple that's on my truck. It, along with the entire engine and Monsterbox transmission, will be up for sale within a month.

As far as my blower choice, I have a several reasons why I'm choosing the TVS.

-It's OEM quality. It's the blower used on the new ZR1 Vette, and it utilizes the factory gaskets and fits like it came as standard equipment. It's also the blower on the Ford Racing Cobra Jet Mustang Drag car.

-It is capable of making over 700 rwhp on a GT500. That calculates to about 800 fwhp. As I've said, this is my daily driver and I'm still going to use it as a truck, towing and hauling, so reliability is one of requirements. A Whipple 2.9, 3.4, and a Kenne Bell are all capable of making more hp than the TVS, but at what cost? Can I still use straight pump gas? Is it streetable? If I was building a truck for the track, yes, the big Whipple or the Kenne Bell Mammoth would be the way to go, but for me, the TVS suits my needs.
