Whipple install on 2011 Camaro Convertible. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I will be installing my Whipple super charger in the next two weeks and I thought I would share my journey with you all. My wife will be helping me with the install.OK to start my car has 2" ARH headers and I removed the cats and put in straight pipes.I have a CAI intake and Corsa exhaust. The car is currently tuned by JRE and will be re-tuned by Ted after I install my Whipple. I will be using a ZR 1 Bar Map Sensor,ID 850 injectors,ZR1 spark plugs,MSD Fuel pump voltage booster and a 3.875 pulley.

On my convertible there was a brace going across the front of the radiator. I removed to allow room for the inter-cooler. I will see if it fits after I install the inter cooler.

If you have the JDP color changing halos you will have to move the control box from behind the bumper. I moved it to behind the bumper on the right side. I will update every couple of days.

You guys are making me jealous. I've been waiting on mine so long I almost forgot I ordered it.

Mine is polished from JRE. It took five weeks. It arrives today.

FedEx stop-ed by and dropped off my Whipple today. Tomorrow I will start to install it after work.

Cool. Let me know if you run into any snags. I noticed that my lower manifold does not have a nipple in it for the BAP. It has a plug in it. I will pick one up tomorrow. Also I don't know where to hook my catch can back up with the Whipple on.

The one big snag was the harmonic balancer dowel kit didn't let me drill deep enough so I have to use a drill bit with tape and redrill it
