Whipple kits now are $3700 btw.
Wow, where can you get a Whipple kit for $3700? I've seen a couple used for around that, but all the new ones I've see were well over $4k.

I actually usually recommend roush over whipple. Well the Troyer ported blower set up, mainly because once you strap it on your done. Now if you want to go like 15-20PSI, I wouldnt ever recommend the small roots Roush over a twinscrew whipple. If you are fine at 8-9 PSI then roush is fine.

Just book knowledge, but the Whipple seems to have the advantage of compressing the the forced induction into the engine, while the other types are merely paddle wheels that push the air as much as they can.

yeah...it was a fun time for about 7 months...but I had to get a bigger vehicle, and the only way I could work the deal was with the truck as a trade...still, $22,000 trade-in for a 2006 model ain't bad


btw, new rig in the sig
