I built an HP500 with Dart heads and custom cam. With a 2.3 Whipple and dominator carb it made over 800 HP at 7 psi boost. The standard Whipple kit will make 650+ HP on a stock hp500 at 5-6 psi of boost.

I have an HP 500 carb I was about to utilize. I ran into a new 2.3l Whipple for a carb application.
Is this too small? Are these decent units
Not looking to make big power egine is stock but with CMI long swept back headers?
600 hp @ 5600 RPM is target output on 93 octane any thoughts?
Thanks
Steve

One of my friends runs a 454 Mag with a 2,8L Autorotor, pretty much the same as some of the Whipples. He use a Holley 850dp. No chiller. 600hp on if I remember correct 5psi, he runs mid 8Omph with his 28 Arrow. I have an 572 with a modded 2.6L Autorotor. Superchiller and 10psi. Autronic SM4 fuelinjection. This blower are little bit to small. I may going with a new 3.6L. My setup is very reliable, I have done more than 1500 nautic miles this year, both race and pleasure. Tomorrow I am going to post a link to the blower manufactor. My advice let the Dominator stays in the box. Fuelinjection is one of the main things. //Mange
