Default PSI or Whipple?

What would you use PSI blowers or the Large whipples and why?

I would use the Whipple 8.3's. They have a lower profile and are more efficient. I also believe they are priced better as well.

I believe that the Whipple is more plug and play.. ie tried and tested.

The PSI would have to be a more custom installation.

All in what you want to build, in my boat a whipple like cb said plug and play . On my drag car psi a lot more boost for a lot shorter time.

I like the looks of the PSI, Sorta like a small block sitting on top of a big block.

PSI's are my choice. I have had a pair for 10 years and love their look and performance. They look like a small block bolted on a big block. My $.02.

I currently have PSI's. They take alot of HP to work. Does The whipple use as much HP to make the same boost?
