The previous Roush supercharged (Ford Racing kit) and Whipple kits (again, Ford Racing or Shelby of America installed/warrantied) have cat failures.
What changed for 2024? Are the cats any different?
You don't need them.
You could argue that you could damage the stock cats with the blower, though.
You will gain some power with them. Likely 30-40hp depending on what you're making. 600hp car won't gain as much from them as an 800hp car. Most of the 'fast' Whipple S650's have longtubes on them.
That matches up with what those can run....
You proved my point by posting a convertible A10 (which will have a good 2mph handicap) going 113mph
If a hardtop, A10, gen3 S550 is only going 111mph in the 1/4, something is wrong. Extreme DA, driver error, etc.
it's not like they gave Lund special access before. The only reason Whipple probably has it, is because they are using them for the Ford Racing supercharger kit.
I wonder why they didn't team up with Roush again?
No way a gen 3 car only traps 111 (especially an A10 because that's the only car we're talking about anyway)
funny shit happens at the track though. I remember in the old days watching guys in C5's run 14.0's @ 100mph
not flooring it, letting off before the end of the 1/4, who knows what...
You think the 18's are 7.5-10lbs lighter, each, than the 19's?
edit: That's probably not too far off from the 6g weights
