Default whipple or kenny bell?

ok guys was going to go turbo but dont feel like fabbing it all up so the plans are a twinscrew!! the whipple 3.3L or the bell 2.8l blower. keep in mind this is going on a 402 LS2 9.0 comp. in a TBSS. just looking for some input on both since not many around. (the 10rib kit would look killer.)

I don't know if the whipple 3.3 is intercooled but the 2.8 KB is. Talked to Kenne Bell yesterday and it should be out at the end of the month. I to am going with the 10 riib system on a forged 408

According to the STS web site they will be out with a kit for the TBSS this fall.

Default Whip Or Kb

If you can afford it I would go with the whipple. I think a 408 with all the good stuff the 3.3L whipple, and a small shot of N2O could have 9sec potental;(@ 45-4700lbs) with a well set up drivetrain!!! But what do I know.

number of rotors each uses is the main difference

depends who's website your on , in other words I don't really know. They both seem to perform rather similarly. I would go with whichever offers the most complete intercooled kit at the time your ready to plop down some $$
