Thanks man.

I thought those were your winter set though?

They are. The roads around here are still bad though, plus I'm considering selling the Dubs and buying a set of 26 reps like the 22's. I'm currently in a holding pattern of cash flow though. I need to settle with my insurance company on the motorcycle crash I was in and also get back to work. A man can only live on dreams for so long lol. Plus my Silverado is screaming for some stuff too.

Quick question red....how much hp do you think you gained from the supercharger?

I don't know. I never had it on a Dyno before or after. All I can say is quite a bit, but I also did a cam, headers, roller rockers, etc. All I know is it's pretty damn quick now. I've heard ballpark for this Whipple is 150 depending.

 

[Tonyrodz]

Thats what I was thinking, around like 40% gain......Im crunching numbers.....got some ideas running around in my head......

Oh boy!

So I got the tees for the heater hoses at the firewall because I figured I'd do them as preventive maintenance. You know, do them on my terms instead of when they decide to break in the middle of Winter. And then I took a look and see my blower is in the way. Of course. If I had thought of these last year when I was installing it, I would have swapped them out then. But when a guy gets a brand new Whipple all you can think about is installing it. Anyway I think it's still possible, it looks like if I remove the outside one it will give me room to do the inside one. Because there's no way to get to the inside one with the blower and the outside one in the way. It's gonna be tight and I do NOT want to get halfway done and find out I can't do it without pulling the blower, because that is not fun. It has bolts that even a small contortionist guy would have a hard time with.

Dorman. They look allright, they'd better work. Thanks man. I plan on just using the cutting with snips technique to remove the old ones. I'll cut the hell out of those damn things lol.
