Just after info on the whipple kits for the 5L? are they in production yet?
i think there is a thread already goin around with the information..
from what i read i think you can get a custom manifold for the whipple to bolt in from a guy at yella terra, but i also think they cost $10,500 or there abouts

Wow!! thats some crazy dollars! I'll be surprised to see anyone go for it at that price! Ill find it en have a read. Just thinking, add fuel system, tuning, installation, you'll be looking at an easy 15k!
Clearly horsepower does not come cheap eh.
Hopefully someone from Yella Terra comes in here, if so, is the manifold available without the Whipple (for those of us that either already have one or buy direct from the US)?

Agree with stocky... Whipple is a whole other class of blower, but you pay for what you get.
Whipples make more power earlier and keep running that right through. Have used a Whipple R980 in a drag car that managed to run low 7's. Used them in powerboats that make 1500hp at the flywheel. (would of pushed more, but the old 3.3's self destruct in the snout at that point, will be trialing a 8.3 soon.)

Actually Performance Systems Inc. produce better blowers then whipple... but they are best suited to big capacity motor (e.g. big block chev). Hence why whipple no longer produce big blowers like their old R980.

whipple do also produce the 5.5L whipple. which is pretty big..there is a video on the HPF site that has the yella terra guy on there talkin about the chargers

Since when have Whipple done a 5.5?
They do a 5.0L and 8.3L which are both physically the same size, just that all the internals have been mirrored. (male rotor is now on right side instead of the left like the 5.0.. larger gear driven instead of the small). What we are waiting for is the next big one which is in the pipe line as well speak.

Hey All,
Just an update,
First stages of testing are now underway and have come up with good results.
A stock VS 5.0L, standard110 rwkw, now 250rwkw, this was non intercooled, a lazy 8psi basic tune with larger injectors.
We have our own YT test vehicle a VS SS A.K.A ( The Purple People Eater ) going for tuning/testing sometime next week.
I will put up results as soon as they come to hand,
I may also have pricing then too![]()
a sneak peak of our production kit below
Cheers

The sounds comming out of that thing must be magnificent:!)
would be 100% interested in this price depending.
but reliable horsepower isnt cheap because cheap horsepower isnt reliable
