Whipple supercharger users?

Is anyone using the Whipple supercharger on their small-block TPI? HP results? More low-end than ATI or Vortech? Advantages or disadvantages? Thanks!

Whipples can't work with TPI. They bolt to the top of the motor similarly to a roots blower.

Jester is right here! Popular Hot Rodding magazine had a Whipple 2.3L SC on a stock ZZ4 crate motor and dynoed it at 518 hp and over 544 ft.lb of torque!! Not bad!!

They are pricey though, about $3500 for the kit.

Dont forget that was on pump gas I had emailed Whipple a while back and presently they dont make a kit to incorperate MPI.They said they are comming out with a kit incorperating MPI.I guess it is quite a task to get the injector bosses and rails to fit around the blower case.All they offer now in relation to EFI kits are for throttle body injection.When the kit comes out I most likly will be switching over...
