looks real nice.

Twin screw compressor. More info on the blower design on their web site but here is a general link to the GM truck applications.

Nice looking installation. Did you take any pictures of the lower tub and intercooler before installation? It looks like it may have a fairly large intercooler stuffed in there. Also, what size heat exchanger and coolant pump does Whipple include with that kit?

joined the site just to keep tabs.

i had a whipple on my last truck (98 454 vortec), have been awaiting results of someone to do this, i have a 2010 GMC with the NHT package. entertaining the thoughts of A/A. would love to break the mold and get another whipple. have you had time to compare any 0-60 times and such? my last un-aftercooled setup was a nearly 1.5 seconds 0-60 slice.

Do you mind telling me costs? you can pm me. i know how much the maggies are running, but would love to compare.

Welcome to PT.net Clancy! I think you need a Whipple.

I didn't take any photos of it as that portion of the install really happened right before I got there to help/watch and hold a beer. I can dig up their install manual and pull some photos from there and post them up for you. It is a good sized unit though. It rests just above the valley cover plate. Not much room to be any bigger.

I'll have to look into the pump and exchanger as I am unsure right now. It will be a while before I see the truck again though so I'll update the thread when I have the information.

I have no before runs as I never took this truck out onto any tracks. From the feel of it stock, with a tune, and now with the blower and exhaust the 0-60 times feels MUCH improved. I just can't say a time for how much improved.

Cost from one of Whipples main dealers off their website is about 5900. I believe the retail is somewhere in the 6300 range. Dealer cost is possibly in the mid-5's I believe. (All for the black finish 2.3L truck kit)
