So If I add the Whipple......

....how long will the engine hold up?? Ive heard a few stories of bottom end components goin out after the addition of a supercharger. I know I'll need to beef up the rear end and tranny.
When the current engine goes out I'll either replace it with a new factory engine or rebuild it with a stronger bottom end. For the tranny upgrade im thinkin on a shift kit and vette servo. The truck is a 95 ext cab GMC w/350. Oh yeah....will I gain any cool supercharger-like noises???
:naughty:

Your engine will last as long as it would as if it were stock....assuming you are using realistic boost levels. I would slap a shift kit/servo in your trans when you do the blower to harness the new found power.:cool:

How many miles are on your truck? If they're high the extra power may cause you some problems down the road. Whipple is a twin-screw type I think and I don't believe you'll get the gear whine that you get with the s-trim type chargers. We put a vortech on my buddys IROC a few years back and he blew the motor in a week because the bottom end wasn't built enough. Like CKTA said, don't go crazy with the boost level and you should be okay.
