I perfer whipple others like procharger. Each has its benifts and problems. Whipples offer more power and torque earlier in the rpm range while the procharger makes most of its power at a higher rpm range. It depends on all what you are looking for. Search the threds in General and technical there is a lot there on both

One note Whipple just came out with a new Kit for the HP500. The old one which had problems fitting in twin engine applications may be available at a reduced price. The new version replaces the intake and the old one just bolts up to the stock air intake plenum.

ing to those that no.....:confd:

If downright brutal torque with less noise,no belt whine,no excess weight,reliability,free horsepower, is what you want, then the only way to get it is with twin turbos. It is the most efficient torque producer there is.Just ask dustin whipple, he says his quad whipple will make turbo like horsepower. It probably is cheaper too. I install turbo systems as hobby. I have complete turn key systems available.. The one for you would be the low profile style for single engine. I have run blowers,prochargers, and nothing else compares. Easy to install if a complerte kit is setup for you. If you are interested call 8-5 m-f,at 318-687-9088 and eves.318-631-6703 gary

badbug how much for one of your turbo setups for a carb 330hp 454?

I have about 45 hours on a Whipplecharged 502 Mag in a 2000 Velocity 280. Have had virtually no problems. It starts well, idles fine, and has been reliable so far. Dustin was very helpful before, during, and after the sale. Know of about ten other successful Whipple installations.
