I'm looking at putting a twin screw supercharger on my car. I'm looking at a Kennel Bell Mamoth Kit with the 3.4L or the Whipple 3.4L twin. not exactly sure which is more reliable, because I have heared good and bad about both. Or should I go with a centrifigul instead. don't want to go turbo because that is what my 88 mustang is going to have. Any insight for this matter is much appretiated.

Got a Trilogy T.S. on my MM, 2.3 Lysholm, with a stock lower end, you certainly will not need more.

Shipping and money transfer rates. However if you were to ask nicely though.....

I think it was the cost of buying/importing the actual blower unit itself if I remember right.

I think the WHIPPLE gets immediate boost at low RPM.

The Trilogy is set up for boost after 3000 RPM.

Do not forget, Eatons are now proven usable on MM's.

You get boost as soon as you hit the go pedal.... any RPM.... Get your facts straight.....

Whipple 3.4 fits better than the Mammoth due to windshield wiper cowl interference. Either one will easily destroy an engine with a stock bottom end.

If you bought a whipple, how does it work with the MM pulley system,hood clearance etc. Is it a straightforward job to hammer one onto the top of the motor?

Won't fit under the stock hood.
Needs some special brackets for the SC belt tensioner and the alternator relocation.
Use a Metco Cobra crank pulley and adapter.
Gotta custom-fab a coolant crossover tube.

This is a true statement; it comes on like a locamotive from jump-street.

Thanks for the reply, what kind of brackets? Do they need to be fabbed or can they be purchased.. Tnx

"As soon as you hit the GO pedal..."

Does that means WOT from a dead stop or
pushing down the accelerator like 1/8 travel
in city driving?

Alternator mounting bracket and SC belt tensioner mounting bracket. Special made, similar to Trilogy's but they won't sell them separate from a kit. I have one set left, probably going to sell it soon. Proven design, I have one on my Whipple'd car and Zack has 2 sets, one on his Whipple'd car and another on his Eaton car. Another member has come up with something too.
