Horsepower is horsepower (be it auto or marine applications) Something is drastically wrong if a close to 600 cubic inch BUILT ENGINE supercharged( by a highly efficient intercooled WHIPPLE Blower ) can not mahe 1000 horsepower on pump gas.Hell the last supercharged Viper made he did with a much smaller (488 cu )blower and intercooler madr 850.

Panther what do you think you would have made using CNC ported Dart heads ,T&D OR jesel valvetrain with newest Whipple blower-intercooler set up.(The Whipple alone is probably good for 150 horsepower without the alum high flow heads.

PS the Whiple sales rep claims the above set up on a 572 (pump gas engine ) BUILT engine will be good for at least 1050 horsepower.

With good heads, intercooler and a bigger blower(10, 12,14-71)I think I would have made around 950 hp....any more than that I would need a bigger cam than what I have.

People were making 1200 hp with the quad rotor whipples and good heads... The new Whipples are super expensive from what I hear and the dealers aren't getting much of a break on price.

Just wait a bit on the new Whipples. With the economy the way it is and gas prices so high it's only a matter of time before the big discounts.
