    Whipple 3.4L/KB 2.8?? TERMI Opinions wanted.

    ok guys i would like to know if anyone here has a 2.8 Mam. KB or a 3.4(L) whipple or a Turbo Termi with a BIGGER hair dryer than a t-76.....T-88+

    i did actually get to see dan a psr with a 3.4 wipple on his silver car make decent power, but then it came apart. oh and then sold the blower off it.(so i dont know what to think about that), maybe they aren't so hot.

    Which kit have people had the best luck with for lowest et's? i already have a KB 2.4 on the car....and i will be using spray w/ the blower.

    My engine is fresh built to the nuts so im not worried about it holding.
    also just had head work done,all new valvetrain,arp everthing, the list goes on.


    Any Previous help would be great if you have been down this path already.

    I say it depends on what times exactly you want to run. Also got to remember that even a built motor doesn't run forever when you are pushing the kind of power Dan's cobra was putting down. I say that if you want to be running below tens then your best bet is going turbo and never looking back.

    i think i would stick with the blower you have and add on your spray.

    btw- so far as i remember, the car did not "come apart" with the 3.4 whipple on it. it was sold before that ever happened...

    its not like he put any miles on new motor with the 3.4. i was watching them tune the car the day the got it running and strapped it down, while later i talk to dan, he was selling the blower going back to his 2.2kb and had spun a rod bearing on the dyno.(thats what he told me). I just wonder if anyone knows (him included) if the 3.4 had something to do with it? just to much blower?

    yes i know they don't run forever, but i would like to see it make it to the track after my tune without spitting out engine parts. Even though parts breakin' is just part of the game.

    * whats the deal i hear about not being able to spray a whipple with a wet kit, anyone done this and been fine?

    i guess my question is what would the downside be of going bigger, if any?

    well it worked, i may be going over the top a little with the power though. im gonna just jump right in ....high 11 car....to hopefully something way faster.

    .....or option C, splatter a car into the track wall. we will see and i will make sure you are there to laugh, just to keep it going. man like you said to much serious stuff.

    If you want to be quick at the track i'd say go turbo, but a Whipple 3.4 would be fun to drive that's for sure. Are you going to go auto?
