William Rodgers Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 This is an easy one, the Whipple 550, but you picked the the wrong car Even with the GT500 I would stick with the Whipple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpmurr Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 From my research the TVS would be a good buy if you can get it used. Buying new it makes more sense to go with the 2.9 Whipple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullens Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 It really depends on what your looking for. TVS Ups: Easy install. 5 hrs at the dealer tops, or 3 hrs if you do it yourself. OEM look and drivability Warranty (only 12/12 if dealer installs but still something) No supporting mods needed (Drive shaft, fuel pump upgrade, etc.) TVS downs Limited power compared to the twin screws (Still good though) 2.9 Ups Monster power Greater potential than TVS 2.9 downs More difficult install than TVS (dealer will charge at least 8 hrs) Need supporting mods (at least a one piece drive shaft) No warranty (Except from Whipple) I didn't list the KB or 3.4 because you would need hood or engine lowering modifications Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500-07 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 TVS or the 2.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh8SnakeDriver Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 CANADA GUY, I went with the Whipple 2.9. 1. you can install it yourself (but it is harder to install than the TVS) 2. cost less or the same as the SVT (but you get more power) 3. no modifing or changing of your hood I bought mine from Lethal Performance http://www.lethalperformance.com/2010-shelby-gt500-supercharger-upgrades-whipple-2-9l-kits-c-5711_7530_7532_7533 Ask for Matt he'll hook you up.

me32 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 i say to keep your warenty get the TVS, if its all about the power get the whipple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhsvt Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 It seems like once you perfect the "driver mod", you can have the warranty, fit/finish of stock with the TVS and at the same time get excellent quarter mile times provided you have traction. Not to mention you wouldn't need to modify anything on your car except for a tune (common denominator anyhow). I would think with much more rwhp than what the TVS provides, you would need tons of track time and supporting mods to get all that power to work for ya. Of course I am speaking with a bias towards TVS because that's what I chose....STILL trying to get this thing to hook up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light66 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I love my TVS. Easy self install. Boost comes on much easier/quicker than the stock Eaton. Yes, even with the TVS and 3.31. gears, have to feather first gear. Bottom line a wonderful mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
