The one on Sals truck was a WorksPower as is the one on mine. These utilize the Lyscholm (Whipple 2.3L, 140ci) compressor and have an intake plenum the emerges from the rear of the supercharger on the passenger side, loops up and over the supercharger and ends in the stock throttle body position.

The Whipple, which is still a good month away from being offered, has the intake plenum coming out of the drivers side rear and will utilize a new intake tube and air box, all offered as a kit.

Pictures and retail pricing can be seen @

Just like with a KB or Magnum you can run boost levels that will work with your stock internals. The tune is 110% of it though. I would highly suggest a dyno tune.

What's it going to be like changing spark plugs on the drivers side? Do yo have to remove the plenum?
