Doesn't take much to push it past 600. 😎

Amen to that.... Then you wonder how long it is going to live and if you did everything just right.

The other part of this equation is how long you planning on keeping the car.

The only way you can make out is to keep the car FOREVER!!!!

I have 2 of those type cars laying around the house. LOL One in the garage and one in my shop.

Guess I need to bring my photo album to Zdayz.

You have a true bang for the buck kit. This is why I designed the whipple kit with RJM. The idea was to make going forced induction easier. Get into a kit and the kit be something you can grow into. Start out with 500-600whp and then when you want to go big you only have to worry about the motor and trans. No new supercharger, no new turbos or new housings. Just build the motor and trans and let it eat. Yeah it’s more expensive than your kit by a good margin but every component will last the life of the car! The pump is rated to a life that would equate to over 100k miles! There isn’t a “cheap” part in the kit and thus why the price is what it is. Could corners have been cut yeah but it wouldn’t be as solid of a kit. Everything was thought out from longevity to maintenance and performance. I am just glad some guys get to enjoy it and I can’t wait to do my build!

I'm waiting on your build, and what you come up with.

Different kits can not be compared. It's just someone chooses the best suited hp/tq curves he or she prefers among the kits, based on the budget. Newly developed kit requires time to make it perfect. I think the best way is to let the kit users speak for themselves.

What about the hood?

I addressed this already. A body shop has had a hood for months now. We are waiting the end result like everyone else.

We also had several customers send us cars to work on which in hindsight we should have avoided doing. These builds have been a distraction from the core of our business.
:confused: So you're too busy to keep up with current workload and yet you are trying to expand? That doesn't sound good :eekdance:

Time to find another body shop maybe? Most people are waiting to see what this will look like in real life before making a decision.

Wasn't there some talk about CARB too? :stirthepot:

B&W_Evader 02-19-2019 08:51 AM
I can't believe Stillen is still the only CARB kit out there.

Yup. Can’t even have an aftermarket exhaust. Hardly doubt they’ll ever go for a whipple sticking out of the hood.
