blower question

[forbanger]

Hi Guys,

I am sure that most of you know me by my first post.
I have only driven the car once and I am itching for more power. Right now I have a bassani cat back, x pipe without cats. upgraded pully, and a predator tune.
Is it possible to purchase an upgraded blower (whipple or kenne bell) and not do any other mods besides having it tuned?
What would you guys recomend?


Thanks,
Jose

you will need 60# injectors, a boost a pump or pump swap, a cai (I'd get a JLT), and some sort of maf (maf.ia, mafxtender, sct ba2400). Of course a custom tune.

And...Dont forget upgraded heat exchanger



And I'm sure SLASH would tell you DFX Clutch and 26 spline shaft

 

[dgussin1]

stock clutch is fine. I finessed 24K miles w/o any slip out of mine with a 2.2 @ 17-19psi with a lot of powershifts.

You WONT need anything else if you run low low low boost like 9-13 psi or so and make around 470ish rwhp.

But why buy a blower and not use it to its full potential.

I would def start with a larger H/E and the LDC cooling mod.

Well I guess thats difference between you and I........I don't like weak links in my drivetrain......

I guess the logic in your thinking is different then mine only having a 500-600rwhp car....

Thanks for all the replys!
Should I go for the whipple 2.3l or the 3.4l? I am shooting for around 600hp but a lot less stress on the engine.....this leads me to the bigger blower. Right?
Since I have a predator tuner should I buy a mafia instead of an sct product?
Last but not least, who has the best price for whipples out there(forum sponsors please pm me if you have a "sale" on them) I am looking to purchase within a couple of days!

I'd get the KB 2.8H. It is the best blower on the market for the 03-04 cobra right now. If you MUST have a whipple, i'd get the 2.3.

I don't see it as a weak link. There have been people to run deep into the 10's and most likely some in the 9's on the stock clutch. I for one, drove the funk out of my car on drag radials, at over 600rwhp it's entire life and never had one trans related issue until the clutch started slipping at 25K miles (happened to be 2 weeks before I was turning in the car on a lease, so they got a car back with a slipping clutch )

A stock clutch wasn't made for that kind of power.....I don't care how many people have been in the 10's on one....I know for a fact Cobra Dude has been in the 10's on one......But how many time's??? And how long will it last???? I feel better having a 26 spline shaft upgade and a DFX clutch that would hold to the power....that way your not on the clutch's edge of death....And you know your ALWAYS gonna want more....expecially with a different blower (whipple/kenne bell) with the capabilty to make more power with a pulley change....

Moral of the story....why cut corners on a $30k+ car

just my .02

 

[Dragon03]

Go with the Whipple 2.3 you wont be disapointed:headbang::headbang:

Sure, you could just slap on a twin-screw with a tune only, but without supporting mods you'd have to run such low boost it wouldn't even be worth it.

You'll need 60 lb injectors, a BAP, a MaFia and a tune at a minimum.

how about a spec 3+. You can ask me how it is running a stock clutch @572rwhp. Yea it blew up on the 1st pass. Upgrade your clutch, input shaft, LDC cooling mod, dont cut corners YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Yes, you CAN purchase the upgraded blower and not do any of the supporting mods, but there really isn't any use. You'd have to run low boost, and then you'll still be sitting at, or below, the same power level you have now...

If you're looking to get right around 600rwhp, I think the Whipple 2.3 or KB 2.2 is perfect. Going with the bigger blowers (KB 2.8H, Whipple 3.4, etc.) would be overkill imo. Don't get me wrong, those would be great it you wanted to run 100 Octane all the time and push 20+ lbs of boost. For a daily driver though, I'd say the smaller Whipple or KB is your best bet.

Regardless of which blower you get, I'd save up and do it all at once. If you throw the blower on and don't do the supporting mods to run the higher boost you're going to be very sorry. Then the next day you'll be pissed off, ordering all the other mods and then pulling the blower off again so you can replace the injectors. Just do it all at once...
