Default Thinking of a whipple... pros/cons etc

A guy i know told me one of his friends wanted to sell his whipple for 1k!!! would it be worth it compared to nitrous, or should i just save it and get nitrous. one reason why im thinking of the s/c is because there is no place in town to fill n02, at least 30 minutes out of the way.

anyways what are your thoughs whipple owners, and former owners etc.

If you decide not to buy it let me know. I will buy it, it will be worth the drive. I am going to install a 2001 Z06 cam and port the heads as well. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I think it is worth the money.

i've been thinkin about it and it seems like it would save a little more money than going with a nitrous setup.
especially at that price.
and hell if i buy it and decide i dont want it ill sell it to one of yall <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

If I was you I would go with the whipple. However if you decide no keep the blower and I will buy it from you, I have a NOS dry kit you also might be interested in.

You should probably check it out and make sure it is all there and all good before you commit yourself. 1000 bucks?? If it is all good, then that guy must be smokin something.
