Bought a Whipple for the 11

[jaa55]

As some of you already found out I finally made a decision on a supercharger for my 11 GT

First I considered centrifugal superchargers but quickly talked myself out of them and started looking at roots style blowers. I really like the low end and the noise! I debated on the kenne bell but couldnt bring myself to cut up my new car. So i finally settled on the cleanest and most factory appearing kit out there and bought the 624 hp FRPP/Whipple kit.
It will be drop shipped to my house in a few days..........pictures to follow:goodidea:

[earleymp]

keep us updated! i'd like to see a vid of what that one sounds like! I always loved how the kenne bell sounds so we'll see what this ones like!:pinkthumb:

[dpstang98gt]

thats awesome, sounds like a good choice! has anyone put a turbo or two on one these things yet?

[jaa55]

ok sounds good

hmm Im curious what Terry and the guys at Street Lethal could have come up with, Im not sure if they have got to do any work on one yet or not.

[mr4teth]

Sweet ... make sure you start a thread would love to follow/see your progress!

[Slow01GT]

I like it. Can't go wrong with a Whipple

[silvernotch]

need a gt500 hood for it??

[PaxtonShelby]

Oh buddy - there's NO WAY you're going to get much sleep the next few days!!! :woot2:

Are you going to do a clutch upgrade at the same time?

Man - she's going to be a Grabber Blue STREAK!!!! :goodidea:

[jaa55]

ill definitely be taking pictures putting it together. I need to get it on a dyno afterwards and see what it makes

no GT500 hood it fits under the stock one.........heres the kit installed.

[silvernotch]

if you change your mind I know where to get one.

[97LaserRed]

That is very cool!! I would get the nicest looking one myself lol

[mr4teth]

Whipple's kits are so clean ... almost stock looking which I love!

[THE BIG KOALA]

I like the whipple too good luck with your build

[jaa55]

Thanks guys, Im going for a clean semi stock look........this kit has so many factory looking pieces. looks like the intercooler tank was stolen from the GT500

[Steve-0]

That's gonna be sick! Whats it supposed to put to the wheels?

[went9s]

Are you worried about the rods and pistons?

[03 OW SVT]

That's gonna piss the girlfriend off. Lol... A Whipple over an engagement ring. Yikes!

Is it gonna void the warranty?

Congrats, look forward to seeing it.

[jaa55]

That's gonna be sick! Whats it supposed to put to the wheels?

Im hoping in the area of 550


Are you worried about the rods and pistons?

Its supposed to safe for this level of boost


That's gonna piss the girlfriend off. Lol... A Whipple over an engagement ring. Yikes!

Congrats, look forward to seeing it.

haha shes fine with it......it would void the warranty but it anything every happened that was terminal id take it off

[03 OW SVT]

Jim, ballpark figure, what's the kit gonna set ya back? I'm gonna guess about 5 grand.

[jaa55]

7k for the kit......it wasnt the cheapest out there thats for sure
I could have owned a KB for a bit cheaper

[03 OW SVT]

7k for the kit......it wasnt the cheapest out there thats for sure
I could have owned a KB for a bit cheaper

Whoa! That's a lot of coin. That's about 2 grand more then I want to spend.
Good luck with the build.

[jaa55]

Whoa! That's a lot of coin. That's about 2 grand more then I want to spend.

A vortech or procharger is close to that price range....I just really wanted a roots style blower

[03 OW SVT]

Gas prices are gonna keep my mod list SHORT this year. Grats to you if you can swing it.

[White5.0]

start saving for a clutch and new tranny now Jim hahah

[jaa55]

I dd an old 4 cylinder 5spd escape so gas isn't an issue. If I was using this car more it would take some more cash

[map22]

thats awesome, sounds like a good choice! has anyone put a turbo or two on one these things yet?


theres a place online, outs performance i believe they twin turbod one already

[2011fiveliter]

JAA55 - good luck with the build. You are doing exactly what i would like to do. I have been look at one of those for a couple of months. Just trying to decide if I want to stay NA or not.

Fastlane productions has a twin turbo on their 2011 5.0. But I don't ever remember seeing and hp numbers on it.

[venom]

Should be sweet. Guy on SVTP has a blown '11, and it sounds sick.

[thedak]

The Whipple kit is very nice.

As OEM as it gets.

[NateSVT]

Nice!

Whipple is twin screw not roots btw.

[jaa55]

Lol, wasn't up on my compressor design....excited none the less!

[97LaserRed]

Gas prices are gonna keep my mod list SHORT this year. Grats to you if you can swing it.

If your worried about gas prices you are in the wrong game my friend. Lol

[jaa55]

If your worried about gas prices you are in the wrong game my friend. Lol

Im looking for more fun per gallon, i really want e85 now

[03 OW SVT]

If your worried about gas prices you are in the wrong game my friend. Lol

Only reason I'm worried is I have 5 vehicles to put gas in MY FRIEND and 3 of them run on super. Kinda limits my mod $$, don't ya think?

[u1arunit]

Just sell more Little Debbie snacks Kevin! :goodidea:

[Martin0660]

Im looking for more fun per gallon, i really want e85 now

I would be all over E85 if we had a realible source for it out this way, and a few more in the area. For me to go get it now I would have to leave with 1/2 tank, then burn 1/2 off getting home :D

At the burn rate of the stuff, I'm not sure if the fun/gallon goes up, but the potential sure does :goodidea:

[03 OW SVT]

I'm trying Mark, but now some of the mod money also has to go to one of my step daughters wedding. Damnit! Lol

[97LaserRed]

You need gas so why bitch about a need. Not like it's a want lol. I have to run premium in my vechiles as well. That's like buying designer cloths and then bitching about the price. my friend. Lol. If you wanna roll with the big dogs, you gotta pay with the big dogs. Haha.

[venom]

I've been running 87 in my GT even with the 93 tune on it. Just gotta stay out of the throttle. Winter months dont need much throttle. :)

Excuse me son, who's bitchin? I'm just saying so's that i don't have to sell one of my cars or bike i'll do without the big mods this year and pay the gas prices instead. I don't live at home with mom and dad nor do i have the support of mom and dad to foot the bill for a turbo like some others have.:rolleyes:

Sorry Jim, didn't mean to hi-jack your thread.

Lol little do you know pops, just because I live at home let's pull the mommy and daddy card. I wish my parents payed for my car because I'd have a house!!! No need to get all salty. I was just bustin your balls gramps. :highfive:

Pm sent lol

Why not just buy it in 55 gallon drums and store them in your garage? That's what I plan on doing when/if I run E85. Should be fine for just driving around town. You'll need a 93/91 tune if you plan on going on a long trip though.

[03 OW SVT]

Gramps Aye? It's hard to tell on the interweb that someone is being sacastic.

Its all good:goodidea:

[Martin0660]

Volume and hassel ... I drive my car a lot, I go through a tank a week anyway ... at a ~35% additional burn rate, I would go through over a drum a month.

I have considered it for sure as a plus from the drum is usually guarenteed mix. What you get from the pump WILL have more gas in it. I've never got serious on it becasue I dont really need it, it would just make the tuning window wider.


You'll need a 93/91 tune if you plan on going on a long trip though.

Nah, no issue for me, I run on MicroSquirt, so I would just add the flex fuel sensor and it will do it's thing ;)

[97LaserRed]

lol figuerd the gramps fit since you tossed the son in your previous post haha

I dont even have anywhere within driving distance for me to get e85 a drum would be my only option, monroeville is the closest for me

[cobra tom]

a drum is the best option, we have been seeing inconsistances in the e85 fuels at the pump in mi. the octane rate has been off by as many as 5 points on fuel checks.

[thaley21]

Well Jim if you didnt live in the middle of no where e85 would be more accessible....

[jaa55]

Thank you, im very excited...

hopefully the turn around on the procal is fast.
I ripped into this as soon as i got home, probably have about three hours in it now and half of it is because i wasnt sure how the bumper came off. its ready to modify a few things and go back together.
