Default to sale or not... the whipple...

So... with whipple being no help and with running into the issues that whipple496 has with the boost and me just wanting more im torn..


Ive thought about this two ways.

1) sale the whipple kit, blower, intercooler, brakckets, filler neck, condensors and all the new plumbing i put with it.. Then look into a trick turbo kit for a top mount. feed it with a big turbo.. maybe a 80-90mm a set of pistion and let it eat..

or

2) keep the whipple.. then do a small turbo or small twins set on about 5-7 psi. and blow the turboed boost into the whipple.. Then id doesnt have a choice but to move a LOT of air ride it like this until she dies...


So i guess the quieston is... what would do.. Also didnt some one here have a gray gmc crew cab with a 8.1l and twin 66mm turbos... i cant find it anymore..


The whipple is awsome tq wise, i just want more "up top". Sorta like women

I thought being with out 1000+ hp car for 4 years would have made me loose the bug... Which it has sorta.. im now more impressed with slow stuff but still want it faster than it is.. Maybe i should just save my money and get a typhoon or ls1 camaro... i can go real real fast when im trying to push 8200 lbs.

arv8100 had the twins.
I'd throw a 200 shot on it and call it good. Or you could give me the Whipple so I could sneak it on my dad's truck!
