I like the Whipple and VMP TVS blowers for fun street car. Turbos are great but lack instant response and have more parts that can fail. Centrifugals are good as well but come in a little soft.
Most bigger performance shops are going to be in the 1500-2000 range. We charge less just because its a side gig and we can get away with it not having all the overhead. If you are mechabically inclined its nothing you couldnt do with some proper tools and a free weekend of time. Even better if...
That depends. It isnt a bad warranty. I would encourage you to read all of the terms carefully. Consider your future goals as its not going to cover items if you turn the power up further or do custom tuning. Consider what a dealership or CERTIFIED Whipple installer will charge you vs doing it...
skip the warranty and the Roush. Keep the power reasonable, don't drive silly, and the Whipple will be reliable. Id recommend if you can't afford to repair or replace any single drivetrain part keep your vehicle stock. Having that expectation will keep you out of a bind. Sub 700whp will live a...
You are forgetting Gen 3s have 16 injectors. Ive had the other well known S550 tuner make 715whp on the supplied Whipple injectors with no issues. I cant remember if that car had a BAP or not. With that being said, if PBD is saying it needs injectors I dont imagine they are just trying to make...
That will be fine. The factory oil to water cooler will keep things in a suitable range to a point. Shifting around 6000rpm will help temperatures, and with the Whipple you'll still have plenty of power on tap. The important thing is to just keep an eye on your temps and adjust your driving...
Here is my 2 cents based on running several HPDEs per year with a Gen 3 Whipple. I've had my hands on several Gen3 coyotes with Whipple as well. If you truly want to be consistently fast skip the blower. If you don't care about that the Whipple can be used. Heat management will be your biggest...
Id get some clarity on the issue, but those will typically support everything pump gas will allow you to make. Those injectors are small, but keep in mind your DI injectors are also supplying fuel.
That looks like a solid option. Just make sure to consider where it will be mounted. I'm not that well versed on how much space you have in front of the radiator and intercooler on the GT350. There was essentially no space on my GT with the Whipple upgraded heat exchanger, hence the fender...
That looks really nice. Setrab makes top notch parts. I used there thermostatic sandwich plate on mine, and might eventually get one of their coolers that has similar dimensions as my current setup. Not all cores are equal.
It isn't impossible to keep a supercharged car cool on track, but it...
I dont really see a problem with that approach. I think youll need a pretty significant oil cooler with very good airflow to keep things in check with 95° ambient temps. I definitely dont have enough cooling to run hard in that hot of weather. At some point I might look at a different cooler to...
The advantage
The only advantage I could see is keeping oil and water temps more balanced. What I typically see is oil temps are usually warmer than coolant temps. I can control oil temps fairly well by shifting around 6000-6500 vs 7500. Im not losing much time with nearly 700whp by doing so...
Think of this, your overall cooling capacity is limited by how much heat your coolers can reject. Keeping the water to oil cooler will just make your radiator have to reduce coolant and oil temps. Im not saying it couldnt work as a pre cooler before going through your air to oil cooler but your...
Agreed. I dont see the advantage of keeping it myself. Your overall cooling of both systems are the same whether they are joined or segregated. The dedicated oil cooler lowered my coolant temps significantly, more than the upgraded radiator. Either way you are likely going to have some problems...
Im not sure how it plays out in the real world but the Harrop cooler doesnt look like it would get good airflow across it. It looks like a high quality kit and one if the only kit options that work when using a heat exchanger or intercooler for a boosted application. Either way it would be...
Its different for a GT350, they already have openings under the fog lights. I removed the fog lights and replaced them with V6 Muatang trim pieces. I opened them up and added wire mesh to get air to the cooler. The cooler doesnt get forced flow across it so I had to add a thermostat controlled...
