    you have to look used... and you have to be INCREDIBLY modded (see maxing out a gen V M90) for it to be worth while.

    That kit isn't even available for purchase anymore and hasn't been for a long time. If your really wanting it I'm sure Paul at PRJ can help you piece it together since he knows to get ahold of most of the adapter plates you need. He told me it'll be well over $3K too. Parts you WILL NEED are a beefed up bottom end (low comp. pistons), ported heads, big injectors, a REALLY good tune, a bigger pulley...probably starting with a 3.4"...and then it wouldn't even be in its efficiency range...which you'd be making it useless. Problem with the Whipple is it makes TONS of heat...which is the issue with these motors anyways with just a little genIII Eaton M90...You'd have to be boosting it around 15+psi at the LEAST. So...your probably looking more into a decent turbo build range in the price. Granted...it does make tons of power...there are just way more cost effective ways to make power with these motors.

    Actually...it'll boost nearly as much as most turbo setups. And NOS? Ya good idea Paul Walker... recommend something you know nothing about.

    Ummm, actually...heat charts?

    The reason they run such a large pulley is because of the heat it generates...and which is why you have to run a custom/thick IC core to keep the temps down.

    Quit crapping in threads where I posted over a year ago to prove a point that is going nowhere.
