Ok well its been awhile since I've been on this website so I just thought I'd give a little update on whats going on. Well first of all I have a 2006 Ford Mustang GT with an AUTO tranny with only about 10k miles on it and I'm basically looking to s/c this bad boy soon (since the warranty is going bye bye). I'm planning on going for a Whipple H/O system with the intercooler obviously but possibly get a larger pulley just to bring the psi levels to around 10-9. Here are a few questions that I have for you guys:
1. How much RWHP will I get out of this system?
2. Is there any critical components that I should put on just so I don't kill the thing. (besides tuning of course)
3. Is there any good shops online that I can get a good price on this system?
4. Does anyone else have a different suggestion as to the setup I should go with?
5. Anymore comments and questions would be great.

Again, this is not my regular driver. I only take this car out on beautiful summer/spring/fall days. I live in minnesota so that means so driving in winter. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would suggest you give Chris a call at Tillman Speed. They have installed a lot of them and they are a site sponsor. They are one of the best out there.

I wouldn't mess with a pulley swap at first.

[jspronk]

ok well what will be my psi rating with the stock one whipple offers?
Also another question arose, will be it a problem for a auto tranny to have this s/c...as in will I blow the tranny? ha ha

[stlwagon]

You should be in the 8-10 psi range. With a good tune, that is very safe.

[jspronk]

K so I understand the fact that a supercharger WILL initially ware down the engine over time unless I get the internals forged and all that crap but if I keep it stock the engine just won't blow up on me outa random right? I mean I know 8-10 psi isn't much but I just thought i'd ask...again please bear with me I'm still learning

It's a crapshoot with forced induction. Even with a perfect tune there are no guarantees.

[jspronk]

so what do you suggest I do?

You can get the HO Whipple kit but I'd get a good dyno tune to go with it once it's installed.

[jspronk]

Well sweet man I'll probably do that....do ya know of a good place to get this system online? Like I have a tuner already...but I'd need everything else like bigger injectors and a fuel pump etc....

[hotshot]

That normally comes in the kit. Correct me if i am wrong but i believe that the Whipple kit comes with 39lb injectors, and some type of fuel pump upgrade as well.

The kit that i am looking into is the Saleen twin-screw for the simple fact that the Whipple just went up in price by $1,000 a few months ago. HOWEVER, the Whipple went up because so many people were buying them, so that right there tells you something about their product.

So i can't stress the importance of research when you are going F/I.

I plan on having Chris Rose at Tillmanspeed install and then dyno the car right after the install and make me and extra safe tune

Then a few years down the road when my bank account permits it, forge the internals or just drop in a short block.

[jspronk]

well thats a good sign that whipple is doing good...kinda too bad that i went up 1000 though....

[Saleen 281]

I think the Lysholm type SALEEN supercharger is the smartest buy when it comes to supercharging the S197 because:
1. easy install (for a good amount of wrenchers)
2. bypasses the S/C when not in use helping with gas mileage
3. It's intercooled
4. It's proven
5. It's technologically advanced far more than any other S/C.

[jspronk]

I don't think I'll go with Saleen. I've heard plenty of good from them but I've also heard plenty of bad....since ford has taken whipple as their own...I'll just stick with Whipple

Good plan, good luck with it.
