It took me a bit to figure out what to say. There simply are no words for that beauty.

Custom inlet manifolds being built right now for the whipple 2.3l as well. I am expecting a 30hp increase with the new inlet manifold design,and at least 65+ hp with the t-body and inlet together.Ill be testing one on my wifes car by Tuesday.

Hey Adam, wow that 3rd picture shows what a big difference between the 2.3 the 2.9 and the 3.4 there is. That thing is huge!! The guy in the 1st picture looks like he just opened an early christmas present. (Oh that's me) Nice custom manifold. Hopefully I can keep up with those KB's now.

What is the useful range of that 3.3-3.4? In other words, if you plan on just 17-18lbs of boost, will the 3.3 work? Or would it be better to go with the 2.9?

This may sound crazy, but I would love to run the 3.3 as long as it would still be streetable---is that even possible? Or is this 3.3 just for all out racing? I would hate to spend the kind of money this would take only to have the street manners so bad you could only drive it on the track. I already did that once with my 67 mustang---I want this one to stay as much as a street car as a race car. At the same time I would like to be able to turn a low 10 on a drag radial. Thoughts?

That is some nice fabbing you've done there Adam, and I'm sure the track results will speak for themselves. Once again you have apparantly stepped up to the challenge and Kenny is worthy of being the first to reap the fruits of your labor; way to go buddie!!!!

P.S. Don't forget the blue tooth activated governor feature must be hidden from Ken so when I line up with that beast, I have a shot.

I know that the cobra guys have to run at least 22-24 on the biggest pulley. Are you going to be able to run less than 17-18 for pump gas???
