The 3.8's are super efficient and some may be disapponted when they wind them up, because they are so quiet. You really can't hear them at all like the ones before, which is a good thing because they aren't producing a lot of heat. My 525 efi's whith the 3.8's dyno'd 830 hp @ 7.8 lbs of boost and can go to 11lbs if wanted. Only downfall for me is my factory cooling on the 525's is really good for up to 900 hp, so i'll never fully use all the boost I have. This is just a reference for the 3.8 whipple question.

Mine were the factory 525 EFI's that were tired and needed refreshing. So we decided to give them a little more power when I found out the new 3.8's had been released. My compression is 8:1 on these engines and they are so efficient we are using a 3 3/4 pulley and getting 7.8lbs boost.
