D-day is coming to purchase my twin screw. Gotta make a choice in the next week or two. If you were me and looking to make a 600 + rwhp pump gas terror, which would you get and why?

Let's say anything less than a 2.6 would be out of the question.

As far as a procharged setup goes I have seen them make power, but id always keep a twin screw on an 03/04 car. Id def throw an F1 on a 99/01 car tho

F1, novi 2000, Centrifugal style... Something different where you can actually have a chance to plant the power down. Twin screws are nice when you can hook. But all that power at an instant is hard to lay down unless a highway roll. But from a dig with an IRS is going to be tough (if you have one) Either way 600rwhp is a lot to handle with any setup.
But if you ask I'd go with whipple 3.4 good quality factory made.

Id probably never see the benifit of a 3.4 on pump gas. That blower shines in high boost applications. Its lookin like 17-19 lbs of boost will be pushing it on 91. And e85 isnt in the cards yet.

Ryan i thought you had a 2.6? How much more power did you see after the break in retune?

nope just a lil 2.4, got it off ebay from a guy who was running something around 680rwhp/625rwt with his setup, paid $2200 for it. After the re-tune I gained 47rwhp and 33rwt!!! [patriot]

At those boost levels ide say a whipple 2.9.... I'm not up to speed with this stuff anymore but get it with the biggest inlet they make.... I would want the biggest intake tract, keep that monster fed!

From what I remember, whipples flowed more air at lower boost levels, and KB's shined up top, making them the better choice for a street car application. Not sure how true this is now with all these new blower cases out.

Whipple says ford on it.... It's factory officer!!! [Wink] lol

Yo, have you ever ran your 3.4 setup on a pump gas tune? If so how did it feel? I don't know anyone who has one besides you, much less anyone who drives with it on the street.
