Maaan I'd love a whipple on mine.

I feel I'll end up going a DIY turbo setup though, I can't justify the cost of the whipples :(

man i priced all the parts to do a turbo kit the right way and they are honestly much of a much if your not using cheap chinese ebay **** plus going turbo is alot more ******* aroud reloacting and custting things than the whipple and i have 15psi from 2000rpm a turbo wouldnt have it untill 4000rpm both have their pros and cons for sure but in the end it was about the same money if not a little more to build a good quality turbo kit and alot more mucking around to go turbo

I second that, I would love a PD supercharger on mine. Even better if I could stack it on top of the COME TTB manifold and then reverse cowl hood scoop. Ah, dreams are free!

Very nice car @FORGIVEME and awesome plate too.

as it is man i had to trim the bracing on the bonnet to fit the 2400 on its standard manifold under the bonnet lol you would need like an 8-10" cowl if you modded to to fit on the c.o.m.e manifold lol

thank you mate

So no cowl and just a tower of power!
Now that would be cool!

k frame spacers will help hide it under...although I think small ones be ok often wondered if thicker 40mm spacers would screw up extractor clearance to chassis rail lips.

That thing would belt the tyres hard on a roll when doing a flash stall speed test!!!!

Them whipples are nice bit of kit for street cars.
