So if Whipple wants me as a customer they can sell me the blower I want. If they won't sell me what I want I will go with Crash's turbo setup.

It is up to Whipple at this point
Its not up to Whipple. Whipple doesnt have any blowers to sell you! Look around on the other boards (Not lightning boards) and you will see that its not just Lightning kits that arent being shipped, its all kits... They cant get blowers from lysholm....

I talked to Dustin, he first told me he had at least one 2.3 Upper Inlet blower he could sell me, when I got back to him to order it, I was told they wouldn't sell it to me.

Blower


Upper Plenum

Damn good idea. Where could one get more info on this Crash turbo kit you speak of?

FWIW - That upper intake doesnt look like it will work with the whipple...

If you look at the rest of the pictures on the sullivan website, It looks like it drops down below the mounting plane which would more than likely contact either the blower case or nose-drive/pulley...

It is prob just the angle of the picture, as it is said to work with a whipple supercharger. If not I will just get a phenolic spacer.

Nope. Eaton 122 Roots.
