This. You guys had a good opportunity to install and document one of the first Whipple kits on the Camaro, but don't have baseline numbers on the same car? Those of us that aren't dyno-racers would rather see the before/after results, not just peak hp numbers. Net gain is what is important, as you certainly know.

But, thanks for posting what you have!

Great numbers!

9 PSI that's a lot of boost, how does this kit compare with other s/c on 9 pounds.

I believe the other TS was in the nieghborhood. They were pushing 8-9 psi through a stock motor and though their dyno' showed more, I believe the gains were pretty similar.

Back in 2002 I was in a shop to do some performance car on my Vette, I asked the guy what I should get. There was a lot noise in the background from the compressor and he shouted, "Get yourself a Nipple, and you're good to go...".

Thanks in advance and congratulations on the install, anyway the numbers play out it looks like it is definitely the start of a great build and that torque curve is very nice. Could you possibly post up the sheet for a Maggie on an otherwise totally stock LS3 for comparison as well. It seems the whipple builds a little more linearly than the maggie but doesn't fall off as s them at the top end. It is almost a hybrid of a centri and maggie curve and one that now has me seriously considering the Whipple. Now I just have to wait to see if there is enpough uptake for Roto-Fab to devlop the tube to mate up with their CAI that I already have on the car.

baseline was 342rwhp so we agined 178 rwhp with just the whipple install

Ours made 510/49x with a pullied Maggie on 7.5-8 lbs of boost. Only other mod was the ADM CAI.
