hey guys, i was wondering what the actual price is on the new whipple thats coming out for the lightning that everyone is so excited about. Ive seen some different prices in different places for some reason, im prolly just reading something wrong, anyways, what are you guys paying for these new whipples.
Also,would this whipple be too hard on a stock lightning motor, or would it handle the extra power alright?....Didn't whipple always have a 2.3L supercharger?...if so, whats the difference with this new one?
Also, would it be hard to install the new whipple on the L (since there is already the eaton setup there)
thanks guys

 

price? Over 3 grand
on a stock motor? 500 RWHP seems to be the killer on a stcok block. You should be able to keep it under that with moderate boost levels.
Install? Should be a breeze. No adpaters needed. Just unbolt the Eaton and slap the Whipple back on.

Pretty easy huh? Oh yeah, I forgot one thing... you need to actually have it in your hands to perform the install. Good luck with that one

 

Damn boy...your getting a litte expensive for me arn't ya!!

 

I have seen three go with hp between 430-475hp good luck! You play you pay.

Whipple 3400.00

 

Mine went with a 400/510 STD dyno sheet.

Actually, $3295: http://www.whipplesuperchargers.com/...sp?ProdID=1170

 

Any number comparisons on the whipple and kb? Advantages to one over the other?

 

Nope, your rich...remember mr. engineer?!?!

Sure, its $3295 in a black finish....but it's $3895 w/ it being polished which by the way looks very tight

Are they ganna be hard to get or what?

P.S....don't you worry dumiass, ive got a ton of plans for yea

 

I dont think so. In about 2 weeks everyone will have one.

 

From what I have heard the venders will be selling them just under 3 grand, about the same as the KB

The price on Whipples web page is the sugested retail price.

I just wish they would finalize the design, so we can see if the intake will be easilly removeable so we can get to the plugs.

 

I would of liked to of bought one but the 'in 2 weeks' [and race season is starting again] has gone on for over 4 monthes so I just bought a magnum powers case and am going to do my little tricks and such to it. Stan

 

I may just end up buying a top entry 2.3 whipple and make my own upper plenum, since my KBis about dead

 

Your KB is dead?

 

Damn Don, does that mean your not giving it away to me?

Seriously, what up with the KB?

Herb

 

Damn Don, what are you saying...........

Your KB is locking up? Making serious front bearing noise?

Yours MUST BE the first one to have these problems. Is this the first time your KB has caused problems?
