hey guys wondering if anyone has installed a side mount whipple system on their 24 outlaw. i have 97 with a 502mag in mine and was considering putting on a whipple kit but was wondering if you have to modify the back seat to get the whipple in there or if does it sit low enough to clear the back seat framework...up at the top it sticks out farther than rest.

any other issues i should be aware of as well? and is there such a thing as honest reliability with a supercharged system? im not looking to break any speed records but mid 70's would be nice...would 4-5lbs of boost get me in that area?

also what other things would be recommended to be done to a stock motor when adding this system?

thanks in advance for any input

Scott Halstead has a 24 with a 454 & Whipple. He would be the guy to ask.
From Scott & I's conversations you will be able to get to your mid 70's goal.
If you want to get more out of it I can hook you up with the guy to talk to.
My 454 Mag's with side mount Whipples push my 29 to 90+mph.
We changed the heads & cam & they make an easy 600 hp with 5 lbs of boost.

by the way ive seen your numbers from the 29 - very impressive. wish i could afford the upgrade right now b/c id love to have it.

Scott's boat is a 25 so I don't know if there is much difference in room in the engine compartment but I don't think he didn't have to modify anything to make it work. I will call him to make sure.

This is something that I have been considering. Can anyone give me an idea of cost for a single 454/385hp??? the whipple and any other parts or suggestions and installed.

What do you want? Cam change, head change, fuel system & exhaust are what I did when I did the Whipple installs.

No mods to seat required on 24OL or 25OL.

dependable HP. Get the most bang for the buck, not sure what that would entail. Ultimately I would love a bolt on option without alot of extra work but I know that may not be an option. Just really curious what kind of cash is involved.

You are starting with no parts, just the motor?
