Is anyone running a Ford GT500 t/b on their Whipple s/c? I am looking at purchasing one with the adapter kit and wanted to know if it fits. The stock T/B is already pretty close to s/c. Thanks...

I have the GT-500 TB kit on my N/A application. The kits come with a spacer plate to compensate for the larger blades. GT-500 Kit

Do you gain anything by switching when N/A?

The stock TB can flow just fine well past 400+ rwhp.

I think it's just about matching your application. If you're using the stock intake manifold, I don't think upgrading the stock TB will do a lot. But if you get a new intake manifold that flows more, an upgraded TB to match would probably be appropriate.

I agree with that.

Thanks for advice. I'm going to order the GT500 t/b kit and see if it will fit. From the measurements I got from someone, it should just clear the side of my s/c.

I felt a difference, I went spinning 2nd gear a few feet to almost 1/2 the gear when power shifting.

I figured that was the case.
