You can check on the corvette forum for those numbers. Now inmho the Whipple and to a similar extent the KB give you the best of both worlds, torque much sooner than the centrificals, but the ability to breathe up top better than the maggie, and almost as good as the centri`s.
As far as coming to Capital tonight, I would love too, but, I`m still waiting on my blower... Starting to get a little irritated on that, but I`m sure its worth the wait. I see you have runn 11.35@126 and you have a cam as well as the Maggie. You do realize the Whipple makes almost that power (560rwhp vs your 581rwhp) w/ everything else stock? Plus I have run 12.2 already w/ 364 rwhp, only .88 seperates us and I will be adding over 200rwhp, so if I hook it would be very bad for you I would think...   We should set up a winner pays the others cost to run that night kind of thing at the trak.. A freindly wager so to speak..  What type of tires do you run? 60 foot? It does sound like you have a very nice setup.  |
That is why I like the big twin screw blowers as it gives the best of both worlds of centri and Roots TVS type.
usmcjlp, I was wondering why you were keeping the stock exhaust on at that power level. It really needs some 3" or cutouts. At that power level you for sure have a restriction in the stock exhaust and if it drops boost a little then its a plus.
