whipple is gonna be designing a s/c for the lightning
cant wait to see what this baby dos been going back and forth
with the techs hopefuly in a week ill have one. seems like its time to beef up the lowerend now.......

 

that's cool!!
Do you know how much boost it will have?

The last time I spoke with Vincent at Whipple Sales he didn't think it would be any more boost than we have now....
Of course being a true screw blower ( not generating as much heat as the Eatons) it should pack more punch with the same boost.

I had an e-mail conservation with a sales person from Whipple over one month ago and he said that the replacement unit would produce approximately 6 to 7 pounds of boost. I personally felt that the saleman did not know enough about the Lightnings--so hopefully the replacement unit will produce more than 6 to 7 pounds. Even though the screw charger will be more efficient (i.e., less heat) than the Eaton, it seems that boost on a Lightning would need to be substantially higher than 7 pounds to make a significant increase in power.

 

GregS :

Yea, I agree. If the salesman would have said 16lb I would probably own one now....
