Intakes for a Whipple
I know whipple highly recommends keeping the factory airbox and thta's what I've done. I've seen a few of you have put on different intakes. Are any recommened and has anyone done a before/after pull? Figure if I do the IAT relocation it's a good time to chacnge the airbox.

The C.A.I does fit with the Whipple. Just needs to be modified a little.
I have the Black C.A.I. with my Whipple. Last edited by nyny69; 04-11-2011 at 12:50 PM. |

The ADM CAI was installed on the ADM project car with a Whipple and made 795 rwhp and 755 tq. It looks factory and blends into the underhood look perfectly. Good Luck.

The Roto-fab intake has a very large filter which is extremely important to maximize performance with a supercharger. When it comes to supercharged applications, comparisons of intakes on a stock vehicle are not an accurate way to judge performance. The Roto-fab intake is very popular with the Maggie crowd due to its superior performance when air demands are higher. Tuners typically tell us they see gains of 35+ HP over the stock intake! Although we have less feedback with the Whipple in particular, they are very similar set-ups with very similar air demands.
