What are you still spending money on? Specific to the fact you got a whipple or just general other mods?

When I bought mine there was only Stage1 available with upgraded twin fans and 132mm TB.

Then Stage 2 comes out, #72 injectors, High volume IC pump $$$

Now there is another heat exchanger eliminating the noisy fans $$$

I know I don't have to buy any of this but how can you not, it just gets pricey with all the duplicate parts you pay for if you want the latest..

No price break for us either..

That's why if I had it to do over it would be Twins..

LOL not quite yet sir.

To be fair too, the base $6-7k turbo kits ARE not optimized either. I can see improvements from a better intercooler, def. need a boost controller of some sorts, bigger/better turbos. Nothing is directly comparable.

Wait!! I will take it for that, no need for shipping!!

I am on the fence as well.

I track (HPDE) my car so turbos are attractive but the piping interfears with my brake cooling. I am sure I can figure out a workaround for that. But in CT we have emissions testing so we need cats. I think that can be addressed as well.

I think they are all great, just depends on what you want I guess!!

Its a tough decision. Can't really go wrong either way. I think you will have an easier time maxing out the engine with the twins, but you have the whipple sitting there.

Where in CT are you located? I am in southern Fairfield county.

Yes, you can get around cat inspections with some hollowed factory or resonators put in place.

I am in NE ct in the small town of Brooklyn. The quiet corner!!

I am going to end up with twins, I was just out in the shop with my car on the lift looking to see what I can do with my brake ducts. I run a pretty aggressive suspension and tire set up so I need the cooling. Even more so once I add the turbos.

I have raced some sort of vehicle most of my life and this is just an extension of that. The need for speed and power never seems to go away!!! :clap2:

Have a great day!!

Almost every blower for the Coyote will produce nice power, and big smiles. But based on the comment you made about roll races, and wanting to run "with the best of them"... The TT's are pretty much the best of them in roll races. And it will be very difficult for you to compete with the Whipple. You will fair fairly well against some of the other set ups. But if you run across a TT, you better get one hell of a jump on it. Cause on the big end, you're going to have major problems keeping him in sight.

Really think that tho? I don't see power climbing into redline like the Whipple's do, couple of Helions running around by me and they get walked on pretty bad by some much lower powered cars with similar weight. As Rockstang noted (and I have seen time and time again) the Whipple's backhalf like a raped ape, I would think that is the same spot you are saying a TT would also be building more power.

I feel like I am down talking Whipple, and I have one lol That's not my intention here, I promise. Love the Whipple. Great product, backed by a great company, but if I could go back it wouldn't take even a half second to make the decision to go TT. Turbo's are monsters on the big end and roll's. U can catch them early in the RPM range, before they spool up, and catch a small lead. But trust me, they are going to be making that ground up rapidly on the big end. Obviously if you got the money, you can build and build on that Whipple, and hang with some fast cars. But that TT, right out of the box, is going to eat your lunch on a roll. But I also see markmuffle's point... you already have the Whipple sitting there..sooo... And you will love it, until u get a TT next to you lol

I will have to disagree. At the roll event that ate my motor, I only lost to two cars. TT lambo pushing 1400ish, Kicked my ass lol, and a procharged c7 pushing 900ish. C7 beat me by 1mph and we were side by side the whole race.

Took down 2 11-14 tt gt's, 2 vipers, procharged c6 and a hopped up cts-v. All of the other TT cars there were pushing 1300+. No comparison between them and a Whipple. I was Whippled, c85 @18 psi around 900hp-ish.

NOW will the whipple keep up with the tt vets, gtrs and BIG HP cars? Hell no. That's because the Whipple can't make the big power needed.

Junior, if you are wanting to keep the stock block and not going for the big numbers, I would stay with the Whipple. If you think you will want the big numbers later, sell it and go with TT. But i would go with a TT that does not use stock mani's. Incase you want to up the boost to play with the big hp guys, 1300+.

This is just my opinion:cheers:

I can respect your opinion for sure. And your Whipple set up is pretty serious if you're making 900HP. OP is not going to be making that out of the box. Or even close to it. Most TT's are making 750-800RWHP right out of the box. I've played around on roll races with 2 TT's, and it wasn't even fun. I've also had my ass handed to me rather easily by the new Procharger's in a 16 GT. Those things are no joke with light mods added. To be fair, my Whipple is basically a stock Whipple set up, other than I pulley'd down one size to the 3.625 pulley.

I can respect your opinion for sure. And your Whipple set up may be much faster than mine. I've played around on roll races with 2 TT's, and it wasn't even fun.

Oh it was, lol now im in the middle of a big tt build.

Stock Whipple on 93 vs maxed out Whipple on ethanol is a huge difference. Turbos do come on later and when the do, it's a big hit. But im not sold that a 800hp TT mustang will walk a 800hp Whipple everytime, all other factors the same.
