    Da Boost is inbound!!!

    Found a complete Whipple 2.3L 140AX kit for my car. Pulled the trigger on it and now just have to wait for it to ship!! Once I get it installed , tuned and tested - I am going to be looking for some of that awesome list action racing that up until now I only got to read about!!!

    Yea really excited for the Whipple kit. I did my research on what kit to get and if the Whipple wasnt such a good deal , i would have gone a DOB GT450 kit.

    Tracking shows the Whipple arrives today!!! Got FRPP 47lb injectors as well , ordered a new crank pulley bolt from Tasca since I have under drive pulleys on and will need to change out. Ordered the gasket kit as well so I will have all new gaskets for install. Just need to order colder plugs and 160 degree thermostat.

    Is it wrong to want to leave work and wait on the porch for the UPS guy to show up??

    I cant tell you how many times i have done that. Set a chair on the porch and waited. He usually gets to my house around 5. So i dont feel too guilty when i leave at 4:30 intstead of 5:30.

    Congrats man. That is a great blower. Tons of torque and mid range. It will be a different car.

    It was all delivered to the house at about 435pm woot woot!!! 47lbs should be enough injector for keeping it about 430 to 450HP since i am on the stock block and internals. Once i go forged , yes the 47's will need to come out.

    Just so you know I ran 39's making 507RWHP with cams LT's, and 9-10# pulley on a 2.3 PD unit on my 05. Just ran a BAP.

    Installer finished today!! Went down and put my start up tune on it and it fired right up. Let it get up to temp and made sure the new thermostat opened and coolant flowed into the HE. Checked for leaks as well. Had the X4 hooked up to monitor the gauges - STFT's went over 1.0 and the idle went smooth as well. Going to load her up tomorrow and deliver for some tuning!!!! Can't wait to be able to drive it!!
