Tell me about it. My car has been apart for about ~5 weeks and it is killing me. Should have it running this week. Just need to put the passenger side header on.

Back to the OP, if you want 800rwhp daily/etc I would just do a Ti or Ysi. You could even pulley it for max boost and just do a restrictor plate and make more low end than you could hook on any decent tire. If you want 725rwhp or less then do the whipple.

I am running a 2.9 FF Whipple on a 416 LS3 at 16psi, making more than 800rwhp.
On a recent 9 sec run on a load (mustang) dyno the IAT went from 95F at the start of the run, to 170F at the end of the run.

Thanks unreal. I wish whipple would do a 3.3 for the Vette.
