Its ok, because you can have all that instant power you want. But at the 1320 mark you'll still be seeing taillights, and thats what counts!

BTW it's not a POS Whipple. It's a Lysholm, the original manufacturer of the twin screw superchargers, and not out sourced junk the Whipple claims as thier own work.

Hey the Whipple version of the Lysholm 1200ax (although only a few exist) is 1000 times better! Its what I will be using in my build, NOT the 1200ax (unless I modify it)

twinscrew sounds awesome, but what i like about the centrifugal is since its not a high pitched whine, the car just sounds like a deep voiced beast instead of a screamer

Does anyone have the video of that Grand Prix that had the Whipple on it? It was a dyno run and had an open throttle body but I remember it just sounded crazy!!!

Why do they still use carbs and not fuel injection.

Easier to police. Exducer/inducer diameters, housings etc. are way harder to police then a good old fashion blower. Same thing with fuel injection.

Do you realize it takes over 200 horsepower to drive the blower on a top fuel car. Guess how much horsepower it takes to drive a turbo!

Btw, I own both a fast blown car, and a fast turbo car. And i know which one I like better.

How about this whine from a centrifugal.

2002 Mustang GT 4.6L
Vortech supercharger



I dont remember what it dynoed at, but it sure made a lot of noise when I drove it.
