Mirrors on. Also put in reverse flood lights so I can actually see when I back up. Going to do the flares tomorrow

Yes it needs an alignment

LOL Spacer or 50% more HP ... spacer or 50% more HP ...

I figured you to be one of the few who wouldnt misunderstand the question since the spacer is in my sig.

So I have a 99 vortec 350 and I have installed a Vmax intake spacer in it a few months ago. I was wondering if you knew if the Whipple supercharger will bolt on and work with its existing hardware, or will there be a problem with the extra one inch of height requiring me to make custom parts or to not be able to obtain the correct geometry to get the supercharger to work with my current setup.

I guess I had to be more precise:Wedgie:

I think he understood perfectly considering sun's comment...

No go with a spacer on there.

'm pretty sure he meant that you had to debate between leaving your spacer on which is a small gain compared to the charger that is reported to provide about 50% gain in power/torque

I'm not sure how it bolts on but I bet some spacers is all you would need. :Handshake:

And perhaps a few drip pans too maybe?

I broke a new door lock actuator in rear cargo in less then 6 months and surpassed 240,000 miles yesterday.

I don't know if Yuh noticed but that was the whipple that I was showing off in my post not the Rockstars. I gotta say its a lot harder to keep my foot out of it.

Uh yeah noticed. Now back to GPRACER1. The spacer will be a problem and I don't think you will be able to move the charger to make it fit properly so it would be in your interest if you wanted to keep the spacer that you manufacture two aluminum spacers that offset the opening centers of the input and output of built up charger assembly.

I guess I would have to see a stock hoe with a whipple on it and make some measurements, then see what it would take. I just dont want to go through all the hassle of taking the thing off if I got a charger, not to mention it would only help being on it with the charger.
