Anything can be done with the proper budget.

Not sure about belt, fuel etc but the intake. I bet someone could make it crossover. its just money.

I really like the way this looks. But like all blower kits, its a weakness. Being old school'R..

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)
i do beleive last time i checked that very compairable to the TSV1900 cost, and a smidge cheaper than their 2300, thats great news.

they probly wouldn`t sell many if it cost more, especially getting in this late in the game!

you should grab a buddy to ride along and even just use a stopwatch or the like, even if your out .2-.3 seconds it sure would be nice to know. its got to be 6.0 seconds or less easily...in 0-60mph no?

hell just make a video and we can all drool and guess from there.

Hard to say. It comes down to personal preference in my opinion as I think both fo them are good kits. I have less than 100 miles on the whipple so far so even I am still trying to feel it out. Looks like the first week of November I should be able to get a custom road tune and then get some track times. Not sure I'll have a chance to do any 1/4 miles runs with the base tune, but I'll try. Work has me too busy to enjoy the new toy like I'd prefer to.

Agreed!

I just flew back into the States this morning and need to pick up the HP Tuner package and will try to work in some updates by Sunday evening if everything goes well.

Just saw this thread now..Wow, Very nice setup!! You definately have the right idea in getting quality parts to make a fun and reliable daily driver...I couldnt think of a better platform to start with (except rcsb 6.2/a6 )

The new Whipples sure do look nice!! but you can see where they borrowed a few design ideas from Magnacherger...Awseome write-up btw.....awaiting updates...
