x2 and if you choose a whipple go bigger then the 2.3 like a 2.9. I ve owned a whipple and the low end was amazing, but on the big end it was a dog.

Given any thought to going turbo? Whipped is going to have tons of low end. Compared to the procharger. Just depends on what you want out of your setup, procharger love steeper gears and looser converters.

Why do I keep reading on the internet that Whipples don't have good top end power? It has to be true, it is on the internet. Pat, maybe we got the only two good blowers that Whipple and Kenne Bell made. You should have kept yours.
