I have read a ton of threads claiming same day same time same power similar car whipple runs cooler. I just figured there would be a comparison.

Found some thread on it and seems most suggest the Whipple. On one thread I found one user posted he had both, one car with a KB and another with a Whipple. Here's what he said "I have a Whipple 2.9 in my 08 GT-500 and a Kenne-bell in my 07 SGT.Feeling the need for more power in the SGT, everyone told me that Kenne was the best, so Kenne it was,Then I bought my GT-500. I went with whipple because, i got a super deal for a stage 2 package...Ive had a couple problems w/ the Kenne and their cust. support sucks and its hard to get a hold of anyone..on the other hand, no problems with the Whipple, run like a champ..Installation is a hell of alot easier too. It took me almost a day and half to drop in the K/Bell, I Spent no longer than 4 hours plus another 2 for the afco heat exchanger upgrade, for the Whipple...
It seems the the Whipple is a little quieter too. which it is a plus for me... Here in Hawaii, Whipple seems to be more popular among the Mustang and Camaro crowd... just my 2 cents....". |
FWIW, KB seems to have an almost universally shitty reputation for customer service. PS you could also ping Sean about this, at one point he did a ton for research (kind of his thing) AIR.

Thanks guys. I have found a few threads stating the same thing. It's looking like a 2.9 liter whipple. Lethal performance has a 600 rwhp kit that come with an upgrade TB and CAI.

Here is a shift. I called Creations n' Chrome and also spoke with Top flight Corvette about dropping a blower on the stand. Both shop stated that they have done installations with both whipples and KB's. Both shops recommended going with the centrifugal blowers. Creations n Chrome actually did a comparison with a vortech versus a E-force.they stated that KB and whipples are better than the eforce, but they don't overcome the advantage unless you go bigger.

Vortech kit is only $5k. The difference in cost will be enough to upgrade the clutch and drive shaft. I actually am installing the rear suspension on the car today. Picked up whiteline upper control arm with BMR adjustable lower control arms and the BMR lower control arm relocation kit.
|
Well the decision is finalized. Creations n' Chrome will be installing a Vortech mid February. They cut me a deal for $5999 installed with before and after dyne tunes.
|
Congrats. So when's the installation happening? It would be cool if you could run the car at Fontana before and after the install to see what a difference the blower makes.
|
install wil happen mid February. It ran a 8.9 at 86 MPH at qualcom. That was 100% stock. I will have a before and after tune. The only other power mod will be the O/R X pipe that I need to install. I will probably do the clutch at the same time.
|
Things finally settled down and I was able to order the blower. As usually selecting a supercharger is a decision best made with alcohol. Ended up going with a Procharger. It will be a bit until I have enough for the required auxiliary upgrades.
