3.4 on a 3V

[explict]

So I just may be undertaking this endeavor, I have a few questions however.

I e-mailed Whipple twice within the past two months with no reply.

I have a 2.3L blower right now. Does anyone know the difference between the 3.4L inter-cooler and intake plenum and the 2.3L inter-cooler and intake plenum. I can make the adapter plate work myself, I just wanted to know if the intake plenum and/or inter-cooler was bigger for the 3.4L?

Also someone local said that the snout on the 2.3L just might work for the 3.4L, is this true?

Well I know first hand that Adam at ST Motorsports has installed (3) 3.4 Whipples on the 4.6 3v.

However, that being said, why not just go with the KB 2.8H Mammoth kit?

I am considering either. I am leaning toward the 3.4L as of now as I may be able to make it work without having to buy another blower kit.

fwiw if you notice everyone who was running the 3.4 ( track-wise ) removed it and went with a 2.8 ....ie ken3030 ( who btw ran faster .... )

Ok I get it---I didn't realize you already had a 2.3 whipple. I believe you do need a different intake, as the compressor is obviously larger, but not sure on that. I will talk to Ken tomorrow---we are both racing at the PSCA event (2nd day) and I will see him before eliminations tomorrow.

It would be awesome if you could get back to me. The more I know the better, I have all fall/winter to dig up this info!!

Ya, I just read this thread and I think making the 3.4L is a little past my ambitions and possibly not right for my goal. Plus every time I mention it people tell me to go 2.8H Mammoth! EDIT: or turbo

I agree. I'll need bigger injectors and will upgrade heat exchangers and everything else basically, I can sell the whipple as a kit.
