    Curious gabe....why do you want to upgrade to 2.9? At your power level you aren't even near the potential of that 2.3. Not sure if your next tune is to spin the crap out of that whipple, but that would be the direction I'd go in.

    Spinning it to the moon adds heat and they lose efficiency.
    The Ford Racing Whipple for the 2015 is a 2.9 ... they're not even making a 2.3 for the '15+ 5.0
    Plus, with a forged bottom-end, I'd be looking for 700-800 rwhp, and a 2.9 is gonna have a much easier time delivering that than a 2.3

    Mine: '13 Mustang GT Track Pk. 2.3L Whipple, 608 RWHP, 517 RWTQ.
    Hers: '08 GT500 '13-'14 2.3L TVS & injectors, 656 RWHP, 661 RWTQ.
