the older kenne bell's use to have a problem with the snout freezing, however with the new styles that's been completely fixed...however if you're wanting a small 2.x litre blower (KB 2.2, KB 2.4, or Whipple 2.3) you're stuck with a whipple as the 2.2 and 2.4 aren't being made any longer. you'll still be able to get the 2.6, 2.8, 2.6H and 2.8H blowers but if i were going that big i'd just go ahead and get the 3.4 whipple and call it quits
and what're you gonna do with a whipple pullied for 35psi dean? bolt it to the handle bars and make the sound?:hugo:

If you ever wanted to go TT, just save up. I'm speaking from experiance. Went from KB 2.2, to a KB 2.8H, now to a custom TT kit. I should have done the TT instead of the 2.8H, but there was only one kit out at the time for our Cobras. Now I gotta worry about getting rid of the 2.8H hopefully soon, so I'm not out of pocket too much $.

oh yeah, before i ever got turbo period it's twin GT's, 60#-ers, modified FPDM's, and BAP just in case lol...then i have to unload my prochamber lol...i'll probably have a Y-pipe fabbed to bolt to the IRS cat-back, or solid if i ever go that route with an SLP electric cutout for the track or just for annoying the hell out of people lol

if you want boost why don't you do both run whipple & TT's ... there is only one car i know of that has done that but it had a stock eaton & TT's

I've got the Whipple on my 10th ann. COBRA and I wouldn't change it. If you want instant boost go with the roots super-charger. Those twin's won't kick in for a bit but, if you got the money and a good tuner and you want somthing original go with both. That will be original and have an ungodly amount of HP.

If you build your turbo's around your engine combination, you can be in boost by 2000rpm.
I would say do what YOU like best. I prefer the Kenne Bell over the whipple, but if I had my choice, it would be twin hair driers hanging off the front of that biznitch.

i like the sound of the whipple more than the kenne bell. i am not a fan of the rc car sound. whipple 3.4s also run around $3800 vs. kenne bells at over $5k. TT cobras have so much potential but the eaton sound is just meant to be there.

The KenneBell 2.8H only runs $3649.00. Don't know where ya got over $5K from. The Mammoth 2.8H runs $5299.00 for the whole tuner kit which includes a dual 75mm TB, cold air kit(which includes filter, meter and tubing), and the Mammoth manifold.

Look if you want to compare and need some visual aids get on youtube and type in whipple cobra or kennebell cobra and see some differences but, in the end it comes down to what you want b/c the blowers are so very similar. Same twin rotor or screw (same diff.) and both are roots style and the only difference is the max displacement for each blower in which case they are all neglegable. Each offers one to mirror the others but, Whipple does have more options out now. To include this massive 5.0L W305. So they have a 2.3, a 3.3, and now a 5.0L. WOW
look it up on the whipple site.

Street or strip duty?
Street/Pump Gas: The Whipple W140ax is perfect for the job.
Strip/Race Gas: The KB 2.8H is perfect for the job.

I ended up going with a Whipple. 580 RWHP at 15psi isn't too shabby. I'm bumping it up to 17psi and adding LT's as well. I should be around 615 RWHP when it's all said and done.
Whipple FTW!!!

its all personal preference. do you want a nice supercharger sound or do you want an r/c car under your hood?
Masshole
09-09-2008, 08:56 PM
i'll go with the r/c car sound :snicker:
