You will already feel the extra power at 2-2.5k rpm, it'll be freight train-like at 4-4.5k, and will keep pulling hard to 6k or even higher. I have a Maggie, it won't disappoint, and I'm sure a Whipple would be similar.

Note that the tune is crucial, and make sure the A8 is also tuned properly. In good hands it will become a great transmission, I have zero problems with Ted Jannetty's tune on it, partial throttle, WOT, downshifts, 1-2, 3-1, all great. Paddle response isn't at A10 levels, but that's pretty much it.
