Kickass numbers at that boost level

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

That camshaft is extremely similar to what I am running in a 427. Mine is 243/259 with a 116 LSA but my lobes are both .367" and I use 1.75 Jesel rockers dictating .642/ .642 lift. I also have about the same boost 12-14 PSI but with an F1-A Procharger. Fun stuff!

[@markdonovan9247]

how is it down low with F1-A? does it take a while to build boost?

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

@@markdonovan9247the F1-A head in particular (compared to smaller or larger Procharger heads) is known for making a lot of torque/ low to mid power, and I have to say if had any more low speed power/ torque it would practically be undrivable. So yes, it does great down low. With that said it is pretty much a max effort 427 and they have gobs of power/ and torque down low even without the boost.

Are the new generation of Whipple superchargers much less prone to getting to heat soaked and losing tons of power pull after pull? Also wouldn't a jack shift be better than having the shift run right through the intake? I just heard you mention how this one didn't have a jack shift like it was an improvement.

[@Kneedragon1962]

Hello from Brisbane. I have some minor interest in the Whipple blower there. I'm posting more because of the LS motor itself. About 2:20 or so, have a good look at that bottom end. Now compare that to a Ford Barra or nearly any other engine you can think of, American. Australian, Japanese, car, bike .... 6 bolt billet steel main caps with great big fkn bolts, that sit inside extended skirts and make up a cage of the whole bottom end of the engine. If you're thinking about pumping 60 psi or 80 psi or something into an engine, if you're thinking about nitrous oxide, if you're thinking about nitromethane ... If you want to build a tractor that'll pull the lid off Hell, that's the bottom end you want. If you want an engine that the crankshaft is never EVER going to fall out of because of boost and cylinder pressure breaking the whole crank loose from the mains, that's your baby. That is about the best bottom end in a production based engine I have ever seen. Top end, well I'd rather a DOHC and 4 valves much like my ZX14, (or the new Corvette motor) but the foundation of an infernal combustion engine is the crankshaft and the way that's connected to the block(s). That Chevvy motor is p0wn! That's how a bottom end should be built! That is bloody magnificent!

[@jocktheglide]

Do whipple superchargers need to have fuel pre blower like a roots to cool the rotors?

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

We did not. The only place we injected fuel for this particular build was in the intake runners. I do know that screw blowers typically have a cooler intake charge than a roots blower, but I don't know if that is true for every build. Thanks for watching

[@stevec5280]

Gale Banks built a monster truck diesel engine using a 5.0L Whipple. They did not inject fuel before the blower either. They tried a 10-71 roots blower first and managed to kill it. I recall screw type blowers being experimented with in NHRA top fuel a LONG time ago. They had issues with blowers exploding because screw type blower compress the air in the case. Roots types do not. That may be the reason screw blowers don't introduce fuel before the rotors.

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

Good points.

2:00 did you mean 4.6 inches of stroke instead of 4.006 inches. Because the current crank is bigger than that at 4.250.

Why use an LS in that Camaro? You could get a Brodix or Dart SBC alloy block then some decent SBC heads for the same price.
