    Default Whipple in a C5??

    From Whipple's site ->
    http://www.whipplesuperchargers.com/...sp?ProdID=1221

    Would this be practical on a forged bottom end motor in a C5. Just curious. It would look mean...if nothing else

    ps - I've seen "The Road Warrior"

    Cheers,
    joel

    You mean other than where it says: "**Does not fit under hood of C5 Corvette"?

    It’s a shame it wouldn’t fit under the hood of the C5
    I don’t suppose it would fit under the hood of a commodore either.

    Cheers Scotty.

    Yes, I read that.
    I meant in terms of streetability - practicality.
    Seems like belts are always a problem with Prochargers and Vortechs...but seem to be less of a problem with Maggies.
    Thoughts??

    Whipples fit fine on the commodores. The Starr Perforfance kit is a Whipple.
    There are lots of Aftermarket C5 bonnets to fit blowers most seem to run upwards of about $700
    At .5 bar (7psi) it works fine on a stock bottom end so a forged bottom would be fine as long as the compression was not bumped.
