Whipple Supercharged EFI 440 - 04/29/19 04:50 AM
Anybody ever seen it done? I've been dreaming of building one for my '69 Bee. I've had numerous blown Big Blocks in my life but I'd like to hide one under a factory lift-off hood. Not interested in a belt driven centrifugal either, I want the immediate boost of a mechanical screw type blower. Anyone?

How many different size screw blowers and type drives does Whipple make now?

this would be awesome, hardest thing to make would be the intake. unless you bolted it to a roots blower intake.

They offer about a dozen sizes in their twin screw supercharger...enough to easily provide boost to over 500 cubic inches!

I've remote tuned quite a few EFI blown motors like this. They work great and the instant boost feels great too. Just have to buy a good EFI system and set up the fuel system right.

IDK if Whipple gives advice on this, but it definitely won't be centered in the GMC footprint on that manifold.
Look at some photos of the Whipple (Kenne-Bell, Sprintex, Auto-Rotor) discharge ports and note the size, shape and location w/r/t overall case length.

Rich,I see the prices of EFI coming down.Is there yet a system than will support up to 1500 HP that is self adjusting? If so what price range would it be in?

I guess they make good power and are pretty efficient compared to a roots type blower. I was contemplating one for my car but I think it would be a pain driving around on the street with that sticking out of the hood.
