Whipple-build on my '13 GT - questions
#21
Hey Gabe, thanks for choosing us for your supercharger build. First things, your pulley I would go with a 3.25 pulley or a 3.125 pulley. 3.25 is good for 10lbs and the 3.125 is for around 11. I would go more then that if you're going to run 93 octane.
You're gonna love the build, the same exact one I had our 2011 GT. We used a 3.25 pulley and was able to get 624rwhp.

That 624rwhp on your '11 .... Was it through stock cats?

I'm thinking BAP, different spark plugs, larger injectors and such along with the tune. Who did the tune for you guys?

That is nasty indeed! So, I'm assuming you were close to 700hp at the crank? What else did you have for mods? Was it just the Whipple and supporting tune?

Got a call a couple of days ago about a 160-lb pkg on a skid that's on its way, the shipping company wanted to schedule the delivery date ... it's set for next Friday, a week from today.
Pretty sure today I secured a shop to do it in though ...

Just for space and tools right? The rest is on your own? I mean the actual labor and hard (but rewarding) work

The cool thing about the shop's location is it's very central to at least 2 other friends that don't mind wrenching, and 1 of those has already assisted in 4 other blower installs, including his Roots blower that's on his '05 V6 convertible, a car that's now sporting a T56 transmission, 8.8 rearend, and many body and suspension mods, the car's sick, and done very tastefully.

With the ID1000's he doesn't need a BAP until he's pushing around 675 which then Gabe should start thinking about a new block
With 624 I was using 47lbs injectors, BAP, plugs you need on any blower setup, JLT CAI, Driveshaft and off road x pipe, now I was also running 18's when I dynoed. You'll lose a good 5% on a dyno read with big heavy wheels, the DS helps on the dyno as well.

Also, do you know if it will include a boost gauge, and if not, which one do you recommend?
I think I'd get the Roush pod that goes in the left dash vent ...

So with the stock Whipple airbox and through the stock cats, with a 3.25 pulley what do you expect I'll be putting down? Also, do you know if it will include a boost gauge, and if not, which one do you recommend? I think I'd get the Roush pod that goes in the left dash vent ...
I do recommend the Roush vent gauge pod as that is what I have. The install is super easy. As for gages, I went with Defi... Known for their quality and accuracy. Pricier, but worth the entry.
My guess is you will be putting down around 575 at the wheels.
So you bought your kit from hypermotive?

Gabe have you seen my build thread? If not take a look at that… It should have most of the answers to your questions.
