Cam install with a whipple
Have any of you with a whipple supercharger able to install a cam without removing the front of the car and the intercooler. Is there enough room to install a cam without removing the intercooler. Thanks for any input.

My guess, from what I remember is no, the radiator and a/c condenser has to be removed, I'm betting the intercooler would also be in the way. Also, sorry Not to high jack the tread but what exactly does the ADM FPCM do for you, and do you Have to use it when switching to ZL1 or CTSv dual pump set ups?

Ya, you need it all out of the way. Got to pull the front clip. AC condenser just pulls out of the way and you tie it up. Sorry, no short cuts.
Look up the DIY by Robert Way (I think that's his name) and it will be easy. Don't forget the cam installation kit, degree wheel, soft valve spring, adjustable push rod and all that other stuff. If you have quit a few miles change the timing chain and since you will have the oil pump off for that replace it as well. Now go do it.

I didn't pull the front clip when I did mine. The heat exchanger for the Whipple does not get in the way.
