08 ORANGE SS-725HP Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Just the Ford Racing TVS. Maybe they just changed the hp rating of the blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500-07 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Just the Ford Racing TVS. Maybe they just changed the hp rating of the blower. I think the news release last night had FRWhipple 630HP and today the Whipple is gone. Guess we will see once the 2010MY SS production starts.

GT500-07 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thanks Borg, "Available literature from SAI clearly indicates the the Whipple 2.9 replaces the TVS on the new 2010 600+hp SuperSnakes, which I assume is the warrantied version of the upgrade. The same literature also states that customers now have the OPTION (which wasn't available in the past) on the more radical 700+ upgrade to either choose Whipple OR KB as their blower of choice. So it would seem that TVS bears the brunt of this new development, completely losing the opportunity to supply SuperSnake cars. Second hit, but to a lesser extent, would naturally be KB, who previously had ALL 700hp+ upgrades going with their blowers. With Whipple now a contender for the 700hp+ package, KB will now have to compete for each and every customer who has decided to go with the larger upgrade; sharing the podium must be a new experience for them... I think SAI did the right thing by offering its customers a choice and I personally like the idea of more competition. Choices are always a good thing in the long run. Just my two-cents" - BORG http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=44894 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
