What proof do you have to back up that statement? Merely the fact that one is a rear inlet and the other is a top is likely alone to disprove you.

He's just a sour puss. I don't know why he has to jump in very whipple thread.. People made mistakes promoting this thing too early, but that has nothing to do with what the end product will be. I'm just exciting to have another option coming out for our now discontinued vehicles.

Only the polished one is about $1000. more; the black one is $3295. retail. I don't know if the Whipple will out-produce the KB boost for boost, but I may just get to find out personally. If I do you can be sure it will be an apples to apples comparison. If it does by a decent amount I'll buy it and sell the KB. If not the KB goes back on and I go home.

I very seriously doubt that, but then again you don't seem too open minded or informed on the subject so my success rate in arguing with you would pretty much be NULL.

Anyways, I think you're very wrong, and I would put money up that the Whipple will beat on the KB like a red headed stepchild.

well right now they make 0 horsepower... Sorry... but I think you will find out that the numbers are very similar... My guess is that is one reason they aren't out yet... They are changing it some to get more horseys... Just an opinion though... I liked paying $3000 for a KB and just bolting and go in 3 hours or less... Hey what ever floats your boat... And trust me, I am not a sour puss... After what they pulled, I wouldn't buy one... My KB will do just fine.... I think it will take a long time for them to run 9.8 if they ever do...

Yes, lets all measure a blower's success by one person who went 9.8.

BTW, A whipple went 10.4 YEARS ago on a truck that still has stereo and stock interior and all of it's weight, and would have likely went a 9 had a crank not broken, but of course can't count that. Another went 10.3 not too long ago in a nearly full weight truck with a stock tranny and converter.

I don't get how you have this close mind towards whipple already. Who HASN'T waited for a performance product. And why would it take any longer to install a whipple than a KB.

You have no argument, your bias is simply making you think that you have one.

Then again you can always get the 3.3 WHipple, I'm sure that will be the dominant S/C for a direct bolt once once it's finished.

KB is a good product, MP is a good product.

when you miss a release date by 6 months and never actually admit the real reasons for delays and act like you are the next coming when you don't even have install instructions yet, I am closed minded to your product. I don't trust anything Whipple says at this point.

They said the reason they couldn't get the kit out was simply a shortage of compressors. Why is that so hard to understand?

I fail to see your argument, but then again neither has ANYONE else when you've ranted and raved in EVERY whipple thread. Just sit back enjoy your KB and then cry when you get your *** handed to you by a whipple truck.
