hi Ben.. thanks for the post. I’ll definitely take you up on the offer to get me some pricing.
Im ideally looking to do some mods and get to about 700-750whp and keep it as simple as possible. Possibly the blower and headers. Anything else I’d absolutely need for this power goal?
sounds good! cam goes a long way, but that adds a lot in labor since it's "engine out" territory. the Whipple will make the power with ease without the cam. I can put the entire package together for ya!
Isn’t the upper pulley a pain to change? Removal of blower etc? What did ya end up spending to get this power level?

Gents.. I’ve searched on YouTube and some basic searches here but don’t seem to get the info I’m after. Here is a bit of background on myself.. I’ve owned my C7Z06 (16 M7) since new and haven’t really done anything to it besides an Xpipe and Halltech stinger intake. She has about 4K miles on it now and I’m itching to do some upgrades.
here are my questions:
1) can the whipple supercharged be used along with the stock headers with cat?
2) what type of power can be expected with such a setup?
3) really want to hear the supercharger better! I see that this ask is satisfied with the whipple.
4) what’s used to tune? HP tuners ?
5) maybe I’m not doing the right type of search.. can y’all provide me any links to videos or threads with more info?
6) realistic amount to spend for such a mod.

I have a 103 tb/whipple/cam/headers/akra/port injection combo setup. I spend more time fkn with the 103 TB idle than anything else. The Wx port system took all of 10 minutes to tune in.

-ARH 1-7/8 w/ high flow cat x-pipe (may remove cats)
-Halltech Stinger
-WXM SPI kit
-18% Lower, 3.65” upper Whipple 2.9L
-ZR1 TB
-Catch Can, Larger Heat Exchanger and Exp. tank
My goal was 800whp on 93, no meth, no e85. No going into the engine. We think we’ll be close as I wanted to stay as close to OE style of drivability and function. I can push it with more if I want to later. My car currently does 620whp on the local dyno with the headers, intake, and tune. That Whipple torque curve though!!!!
Also nobody has mentioned you have to cut the cowl with the Whipple, not a problem for me as I’ld rather keep my stock hood unlike the 2650.

I like the set up..... Especially NOT going into the engine. Give us an update once you get the Whipple. My current '19 Zo6 m7 is completely stock, but am entertaining a similar set up. Thanks
