Need more HP!!! Help

Here's what I have. Whipple SC, electric fans, full length headers, Corsa dual exhaust, and I just eliminated the cats. BTW, the SC LOVES it with no cats. A noticable difference.

But here is my prob. I want more HP. Does anyone have any suggestions short of a new motor or nitrous that will add more power?...Thanks guys

A few years ago the Whipple guys were upgrading to a 10 psi setup that included a pulley, 39lb injectors, and a larger MAF. They were getting 400+ rwhp. Do a search on Whipple superchargers.

You mentioned having a Whipple supercharger which is 8 psi stock. You didn't say you upgraded the pulley, injectors and MAF.

Your right. My mistake. I think the psi set at 10. Somebody told me to get a larger throttle body. What brand and size?...Thanks

Here is one thread about the upgrade. You might want to PM a few of the members on it for additional details.
