Will adding the Whipple make it so my wife wouldn't want to drive it or as long as your easy on it all would be fine? I'm getting a quote for the HO and dyno tune and the only thing I don't want to lose is it's nice driveability for like easy Sunday rides. Hope this makes sence. I have never ridden in a FI car.
Thanks,
WC

The whipple HO on an auto will make it impossible for your wife to drive the car.





















Psst---it drives just like stock at part throttle other then a slight whine coming from the engine---but don't tell her that.........

I think he's looking for the "other" answer...

She doesn't want to, but I wouldn't like it if she couldn't. I have stock gears and was going to just put 3.73's in and a new driveshaft to add some pep, but my wife told me to go ahead and get what I wanted. I figure I'll try the stock gears and see how they are. I already have the 3.73 if I want them.
thanks....

You won't lose any drivability and the power is only there when you need it! Which is all the time when I drive...:shock:

My wife's daily driver is equipped with a Saleen S/C running 12 psi and is an auto. At part throttle it drives much like stock. The remaining throttle is phenominal.

I'm keeping the 3.31 gears till I see how they are. Thinking they will help keep me from spinning too much, but have no idea.
