bought a new sub I was gonna leave alone then the Z got stolen and now I have two new disasters......

and of course then I'm told by the vette shop I'm putting a blower on the sub....(thank god its under a buddy's hood right now......plan of the week is I'm testing out the new vortech lysholm unit next)

finally starting to come to my senses and clear some of these things out, had the boost vette out today and realized its just too friggin fast......half throttle since I was dry on meth the thing skated across a lane of traffic in third....***** in throat moment....(with the traction control on)

so yes, I know where you're coming from, lol....

but to keep it all on topic........what does whipple recommend for marine applications with 8.1's (the only other 8.1 stuff I know of) and what amount of boost do they get in those situations....might be a good course of action to work with...

Boooost is a wonderfull thing, But with it being turboed then supercharged would it be better to plum in an air to air intercooler? Thats What i am thinking, maybe a procharger one.
what do you think KB?

I'm sooo glad you're doing this though. I was going to beat you to the punch a few weeks ago, but I didn't have the ***** to do it, and I don't really want all the extra weight of the blower.

So what turbo are you going to run? I'd err on the large side for the exhaust housing.
