Whipple Gen 5 does it again for a Street Car
https://www.enginelabs.com/engine-te...-supercharger/
Might take some design work to fit on a Pontiac Engine intake system but har to argue with EFI, Inter-cooling, and a 1000 street HP on tap. Hardware is hardware, forget the application in this case. Watson Engineering in Michigan was involved with some of the Hardware design for the Whipple Application. Chuck Jr and Chuck Sr have been doing supercharged cars for a long time and race two cars for many years. Tom V.

It could be done in aluminum, the base intake, and should be fairly easy since it's an open design. Someone with a CAD program should be able to knock it out fairly quick, and a sand casting job-shop could do it affordably. You just do an enclosed area, or external reliefs, for the injectors.
The design of the blower would not be conducive with a carb. .

Looks like using a legacy distributor may also not work, would have to be some type of DIS, due to the length of the blower body.

Crank Wheels, low profile cam sensors, and the Holley Sensors are not this big of an issue these days. Luhn Performance has done all of them and is a Holley dealer.
The intake, I agree, could be designed and cast up pretty easily BUT I PERSONALLY, would swap to Don's RAV heads and his Open Plenum Intake to start with. Then make a simple adaptor plate to put the Whipple stuff in the right spot. The BDS Pontiac Stuff is ok but hard to work with on a Supercharger unit like the Whipple, BUT the Whipple is Intercooled, no methanol required. Tom V.

What did they do, spend a chunk of money to make Make 1000 hp on a 5.0? Haven't lots of folk done the same with a big turbo? Not knocking the result just don't see why its a better approach.

Part of the Post was a visual on packaging dual Water to Air intercoolers on a EFI engine and keeping it under the hood with a Belt Driven Boosting Device Vortech had a similar concept (called the "Igloo") back in 1998 time frame. Those were basically race vehicles. This is a drive it to California from the east coast PRODUCTION type set-up. Very nice engineering. Turbos on Mustangs are very common over 1300 wheel hp is documented https://www.motorauthority.com/news/...the-ears-bleed Again, just posting up new technology and how to properly package stuff. Tom V. There is more to car stuff than one or two numbers one time on a dyno or drag strip.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
