whipple supercharger side or top?

Is there any difference in the old style side mounted whipples compared to the newer style top mount?

thanks

Someone Please Correct me if I am Wrong.

I was told that the reason that the Whipples were changed from side mount to top mount, had to do with efficiency and also that the manifold restricted the amount of usable boost, and rpm. With the blower on the top blowing through the intercooler, it was more efficient and allowed the engine to make more power in the upper RPM range.

I trust my source, (Dustin) and have one on top of a HP500 that works perfectly!!!!

Thought there was NO restrictions on height with thenew top mounted system>
Was told it fits inside standard Merc hieght manifolds?
