Prototype 4 inch CAI complete, production kits will be available next week to those that have a Whipple 2.3 supercharger on their 2010+ truck, if you are interested in purchasing please email or give us a call. I started tuning today, and I was expecting the injectors to be at the limit for sure, but they were WAY past the limit, not even in the ball park whatsoever. I am anticipating the gains of the 102mm TB and our 4 inch CAI to be a gain of approximately 50 hp, the boost went up to 15 psi from this alone with a ton more airflow, which is still somewhat undetermined because as soon as I found the injectors to reach 100% DC at 5200 rpms even with the dual nozzle meth I called it quits on WOT tuning, so just finished up the part throttle tuning for the CAI. Hopefully I can have some injectors by Saturday. Here is a pic of the CAI.

REALLY REALLY impressive!!!


Ill be really happy if I can come close to your times when I get my turbo kit on! Of course my truck will have a little extra weight but should run similar times.

I know it will not fit with the 2900 Whipple but can you make one for that?

Of course, but we need a 2900 supercharger installed on the vehicle to do it...

How much offset is the throttle body on the 2900 vs the stock intake manifold?

It's completely different, front entry verses rear entry.
