Whipple charged voodoo upgrades required?

[Jdown]

Hey all I have a 19 gt350 with a Whipple on it since basic birth. Been a flawless setup till the other day with 15000mis. Seems to have a issue with 1 cylinder showing oil on a plug and a knock. Was wondering if anyone knows what's needed to help bulletproof the voodoo for boost as I really enjoy this Power plant. If I have to remove it id like to beef it up to get some more longevity. Any input would be appreciated

My suggestion is to go ahead and order a sleeved built bottom end. Pull your current bottom end and wait to ship it off in a couple years, then you’ll have a back up.

Do you have the 3.0 or 2.9 whipple?

Do you plan on making more power in the future? Building the bottom end is one option can leave the top end stock. Id run a catch can setup if you arent already

With saying there is a knock, the motor might need to be looked at. If that is the case, a piston, rod, OPG and sprocket is pretty much all you need if you want it to handle more boost. You can swap for head studs and things like that if you plan on seeing tons of higher RPM too but that is more so on your goals with the car. From there it's fueling, catch cans, and more.

I would start off with having it looked at. Maybe a leak down and compression test to see what is going on than address from there.

If you do decide to build the motor and get anything supporting, let us know if we can help as we offer tons of parts for these.

Thank you i haven't had the time to dig deep into yet but did a static compression test and showed no difference going to do a leak down next and pull valve cover off to see if anything looks off plus going to drop oil and cut filter to see if any metal is showing

What cans do you suggest? Both sides?
