Lysholm/Whipple Comparrison? (Jannetty?) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

UBERJIM · 07-13-2012, 02:55 PM

I was hoping one of the shops has done a comparrison of the Lysholm 2300 and Whipple 2.9L. I am shopping and want my purchase to be able to grow with my greed for HP. I'm only interested in twin screw designs. I have ruled out KB. Thanks!

I will say I like the Vortech install...a lot...Lyshom is the same. Me personally, the Whipple appears to be more displacement...thus, more gain.

monstertodd · 07-13-2012, 06:06 PM

Yep.....no replacement for displacement.

Although I really like my Lysholm 2.3. One really nice thing about it is that you don't have to purchase an intake to go with it. It comes with one integrated into the kit! Gives it a really clean, factory look underhood.

I love the whipple on my 03 SS silverado. However for my 12' ss camaro. I'm not too fond of relying on a shaft style supercharger like the wipple 2.9-4.0. I just wish Lysholm would produce a bigger displacement compressor. Then they will have my attention! and well money too!

If the Lysholm would have been CARB compliant, I would have gone that route, since it isn't, I'm the proud owner of a Maggie.

In the end the Whipple will undoubtedly make more HP.

yes it will give you a lot more room to grow, i don't think anybody on here has pushed a whipple to its limits

Aecannon1 · 09-03-2012, 12:58 AM

Having experience with BOTH on my car, I'll try and sum it up best I can.

Lysholm will consistently create torque figures parallel to hp
Lysholm costs less
Whipple will make more power
Whipple has more parts support (I'm having an ASS of a time trying to find a smaller pulley for the Lysholm and will probably HAVE to spend $550 for an overdrive crank pulley to get 2lbs more of boost, HELL with that)

....right now I make SAE corrected 607/609 rwhp/trq on about 9-9.5lbs of boost. I've spent about 9K in parts and labor on everything and will be putting large chamber heads, compression increasing gaskets and upping the boost (stock short block). This will bring my build to around 700-715rwhp.. and up my tab to about $12,000. Crazy? yeahhhh... all that's left is a shortblock and... a bigger displacement supercharger with more boost to reach the 1000rwhp mark. The lysholm won't do it. If you are succeptable to cathing the HP/TQ bug, get the Whipple, tune and build your car for Torque. Don't get the Lysholm.

Whipped416 · 09-03-2012, 06:37 AM

i have pushed the whipple as far is it will go with a 416 and 2.75 pulley. the most your gonna make out of a whipple is around 850 rwhp and 850 rwtq.. thats with a motor setup by some of the best in the business . ThESE numbers are on a mustang dyno as well.

Aecannon1 · 09-03-2012, 10:24 AM

That's pretty damn good numbers since Mustang dyno's typically read 10-15% lower (eddy current braking). That's about 85 HP uncalculated... so you're probably closer to a Dynojet's SAE corrected 930 rwhp. Very nice. What are the supporting mods?

Aecannon1 · 09-03-2012, 10:25 AM

Oh and there's only ONE way I'd buy the Lysholm again. It'd be with thier 3.3 head. They say it won't fit, but it will... just notch the firewall and remove them flame guard under the hood.

fldrummer · 09-03-2012, 12:20 PM

Let us know when you're ready to get rid of your Lysholm. I'm sure you'll find plenty of takers for it here.

Whipped416 · 09-03-2012, 02:56 PM

Hke416 with whipple 10 rib setup , lonnies performance fuel setup FIC 1000 injectors, NW102, cai, some crazy flowing hand ported LS3 heads.
