    Whipple Gen 2

    Hey everybody, just wanted to show some results with the Gen 2 SC. Car has FRPP long tubes, FRPP muffler, Accufab TB, and 91 OCTANE. Also note, this is 3rd gear. 4th gear showed 25-30lbs more torque, same HP.

    How my GT died at Willow Springs

    If it came out there, then that means is was not sealed properly, whether it was warped during polishing and/or not the right type or right amount of sealant. The temp of the oil had to get near 350deg F during track running, and therefore, it can break down a number of different sealants. The...

    Whipple Making Noise, please help me to ID it

    If the sound is coming from the SC, it will not hurt the SC, you are not going to damage the SC because of the "chirp". A constant bearing squeal is bad, but we have never lost a bearing in a Ford GT and the SC's are very near bullet proof. Again, if the SC is in fact making a chirping noise...

    New carbon fiber caps

    Didn't mean to steal your thunder, but was just helping a buddy out. He does incredible work, always has and would love nothing more than to see his stuff grace such beautiful machines as the GT. Trust me, I've been begging him to make these for the autos for sometime, glad you finally talked...

    New carbon fiber caps

    Hey guys, I just wanted to know if any would be interested in some new carbon fiber/billet caps for the GT's? A friend of mine is making them. These are works of art. They'll be available in red, black, polished, blue and satin. They're very light weight, tons of machining, and are top-notch...

    Smaller belt required for 2.7 pulley?

    Forgot to mention, the belt seems tight because of the tensioner, but if you look at tensioner stop, there's nearly zero travel left, so when the belt stretches, especially during hard running, you can get some slip. So tight is a bad way of describing the belt, should have approx. .75"-1.0" of...

    Smaller belt required for 2.7 pulley?

    We were actually the first to offer the pulley, the first to offer an upgrade kit. Were also one of the only ones with the belt available. Ideally, belt should be changed, but you can get away with the stock one. You can also use some shims to kick out the power steering pump. The pulley should...

    It's a bit more complicated than this. Most think boost is boost, but that is not the case at all. To get true readings, you must measure in absolute pressure. As temp increases, the density of the air decreases, this means less O2, less O2 makes less energy. Dustin

    Boost is just a function of what does not actually go into the combustion chamber, pressure outside the valves, so most associate boost as flow, but it's really a function of airflow/air volume. This is where the larger compressors are better in most cases. But because more airflow will...

    New Generation Eaton Blower

    A rotor assembly can be retro fitted. Same housing. Official release is approx. 6 weeks, but there will be a few beta testers out there before that. Thanks, Dustin

    New Generation Eaton Blower

    Screw compressor is very efficient at high pressure levels. To note, another reason why turbos make more power is the airflow losses. It takes more energy to make the air make bends, especially quick ones. Turbo's typically have nice bends, bigger tubing, are being forced through the TB versus...

    New Generation Eaton Blower

    Look at it this way, the same TVS sc is being sold for the Shelby GT500 and at max speed, is making around 620rwhp. On the LS9, they make 620, on a very good engine, although setup somewhat conservative. Therefore, where is all this power? Spin it to 18,000? Still not much left, so yes, I feel...

    New Generation Eaton Blower

    No problem, but it's certainly a 2300 (2.3L). I know a few of the engineers that worked on the program, and they're incredibly happy, but if we could make the screw for 1/4 of the current cost, there is a good chance it would've been on there. So, in OE, the bang for the buck of the TVS was...

    I'm actually working on something, and yes, a bigger, more efficienct SC will make more power, although the block is not build for more than 650, I think it can somewhat safely go to 720hp in aftermarket trim. Thanks, Dustin

    New Generation Eaton Blower

    New rotor profile, up to 15% increase in airflow which allows for lower compressor speeds to equal same flow, which lowers temps and power consumption (parasitic). Gains will be in the 20-40hp range depending on boost levels and tuning. Thanks, Dustin

    Not much room under there, especially since the casted it in an integral housing. They also are driving the rotor from the rear shaft, which complicates matters. We have something in the works for a new project were working on. Although that SC is at max rpm, there is still a bit of room for...
