Not a 8.3 but a 4.5 Whipple on a 7 Liter LS. Don't think a 8.3 is warranted the new Revs of Whipple's are more efficient.
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...14e0dc8bfa.jpg Definitely Whipple. Newer Tech and features Not a 8.3 but a 4.5 on a 7 liter LS 1325hp/1160tq. a stout piece for a new project. |
i would give up a hundred horses because i hate the loud siren wail of the whipple vs the much softer whoosh of a big roots blower

You are exactly right. That is where Ken had it mounted and he is not a boat person, it is going lower. Totally wrong for a boat.
As for Gay Ken he is following the money. LS is better these days to a BBC. I have to agree so that is why there is a LS in my future. LS 1325hp 427cu/in. to old BBC 570cu/in quadrotor 1400hp. plus the weight. got them both just in different platforms. Have to say the 4.5 Whipple is taped out on the 427 @1325hp running 18000rpm@21psi with meth. It can not run a 570cu/in plus at that level. Even a 5.0 or 8.3 is the same supercharger just run from the opposite rotor. 16000 to 12000 rpm I think is maxed out as well on bigger cu/in motors. |

I miss that sound ! My 8-71 screamed just the same. 10-71, 14-71 and 8.3 Whipple were all way too quiet. Cant wait to have that sound back again with the 4 liter i`m getting. |
I heard my Whoooples for the first time when I put the mufflers on........:drink:

nice looking setup,what would the total cost for what is pictured be?
The current base price is on the Borowski site at $45,000. I had this LS put together before that price increase. There were a few upgrade, dry sump, solid roller cam, T&D rockers, CMI Headers sea pump, bigger head studs, Better Sealed Holley system with screen. Alway polishing cost more too. I heard it run on the dyno and no screeching sounds like some say. It seems a little quite for what it is. Maybe due to the serpentine belt. .Anything that I had cog belts on always whined. |
looks like more than a few upgrades,if you don,t want to reveal the total thats ok.

That is about $35 per Horse Power. The last couple hundred cost way more than the first thousand HP. |
