Default 2.9L Whipple

Have any of you guys tried one of the Whipple twin screws? My Maggie MP122 isn't cuttin it on my built LQ4. I know they make a 2.9L kit for the LS3/L99 Camaros. The results I've seen have been pretty impressive. Very low IAT's and good power on mild boost.

I emailed them about a truck kit and this is what they sent me...

We do not have a 2.9 truck kit at this time. I can however do the new front feed 2.9 like our camaro. I do not have a cathedral port intake for this setup yet though we are working on the castings now. You would either have to wait for that manifold or swap the heads to the L92 heads. I would only be able to get you a "hot Rod" kit which would be the blower, intercooler core, manifold, fuel rails and tensioner plate. The Tensioner plate may work on the truck but I am not sure if you will need to do any modifying to it.

This blower has worked extremely well on the LS motors. This is our new 2010 Camaro setup and to date, I have one customer that has made about 660RWHP with a stock 6.2 with a ZR1 cam, exhaust, a cold air kit and our blower at 9psi. CBM also uses this setup on the sand car motors they build.

I emailed them too, but no response. I'd even consider a head swap. I'm guessing there are more than subtle differences between the accessory drive for an LS3 Camaro and the drive on my LQ4.

look for the write up on using the car LS3 intake on a truck application and you might find the differences or what it would take to fit a car intake, then the SC should be easy.

Don't quote me on this, but I've seen a few things that lead me to think that the Camaro acc drive offset and the truck offset are the same... But not a 100% sure.

L92 truck to LS3 car intake swap. From my reading seems like its just a idler relocation away from bolting on a car whipple
