3.4 Whipple on a 3V?????

ken3030, you have list of what your motor consists of? I'm curious as to what all you did to it, and what headers?

wow, very nice setup! I assume its still a 281? What boost was the old whipple at when you ran the times in your sig?

We could always put John in the trunk of Adam's car to even it out. Done now enjoy thanksgiving dinner.


Soooooo.... stock rear, huh.

just wondering, from what i have saw and tested on the very first 3.4 whipples for the 4V motors, that it was useless to run less then 26# of boost because the 3.4 took so much power to turn it so we went to 32# which was basically max rpm for the blower which the car made 798hp through a c4 with a 4000 stall and the car went 9.68 (6.0 in the eight) and our kb combo went 9.52 at 22# at only 623 have you cranked up the boost that high yet? im just trying to see witch blower to go with when i get s197 here in a few months.

Interesting. I'm curious to see this as well. We all know dyno HP and track times are usually 2 different things. I also am curious if sometimes bigger may not be better. What I mean specifically is I'm very curious to see if the 3V is just not enough displacement to really take advantage of a 3.4+ blower. I'm looking at building up a 370ci motor right now and considering what FI I want to go with as well.

Good to see things are going well with the project, I hope the stock rear end can hold up to all that power. When you get a chance Adam could you return one of my many voice/pm/e-mail messages from the past week?

Thanks!

At low boost a 2.4 KB is better than a 2.6H, but at high boost? I can't wait to see the day a 5.2 blower go on a 4.6 modular. It could happen.

 

[ChevyKiller]

It may be sooner than you think...

This is the most exciting thread I've read in a long time. Everybody is on the edge of their seats waiting for the timeslips...

 

[TexStang]

hell yeah we are!

 

[Fake_Snake]

ahh IM not on the edge of my seats its just another WHIPPLED 3v ....LOL... j/k....

CAnt wait to see what it runs next thursday

 

[Ken3030]

I was at 17psi when I ran those numbers in my sig.

I too was thinking of a bigger displacement engine can you let me know what your research nets so I can decide which way to go.

Just throw in a 24valve sable motor with mustard injection!

If I only want to beat slow ass Saturns, then I will use the Sable motor, but to hang with Mark and Adam you gatta use the BIG GUNS!!

Thats my next project...NOT KIDDING

My research is your car...

If you could make 20psi boost with the 3.4 with a 3.375 pulley---why would you want to go with a 5.2? Could you just imagine (assuming the motor would stay together) the kind of boost and horsepower that would make? Low 8-second twin screw?

you guys are nuts.

I thought he was going to use your car for the prototype?
