Indeed bro. I can make a 4th gen hit 10's for what it costs me for a DSS Setup in my 5th. LOL

Hence the atrocity in my garage....

Ivan, want to buy back your cold air intake? It won't fit the whipple....I'll even throw in the install...

Yep, you need a special tube now... I had to buy a whole new Rotofab unit after install as I couldn't find anyplace who just sold the tube itself :(

Which one you got?

Ivan @ Southwest Speed · 03-01-2013, 11:38 AM

In my defense, you got the Whipple after you got my CAI.

Lemme know, I'll give ya what I got for it if one of the folks here doesn't pick it up!

AFE Stage 2.....of the 4 I had it made the most power. Didn't have the BLING of the others but power was more important.

Scott, lemme know, we got the CAI and RF guys on board with us now too. Both have solutions (like Vince mentioned) for the Whipples.

Damn...nice out today. I think I shall effort every muscle forward to depart this facility as early as possible today. Car Wash and Painting of products must occur immediately.

What's the plan for the weekend?? Anybody doing anything exciting/boring/that costs alot of money?? LOL

yard work . and paint correction on my hood, somebody's damn cat scratched my hood

Batmanntexas · 03-01-2013, 05:51 PM

Ivan, to you or whoever wants it, $100 is all I'm looking for.

On a seperate note, I took the car to Motiva today for it's baseline dyno. My run was run #1, run #2 belonged to IDK??? Anyway, I guess 388RWHP isn't too bad for a couple of bolt-ons...

SSmokinSS · 03-01-2013, 11:38 PM

I am hopefully installing some long tubes this weekend!
If everything works out, I may take that CAI off your hands...

AngelSpeedFreak · 03-02-2013, 12:01 AM

nice batmann.... Gonna be a whole new experience here soon

Batmanntexas · 03-02-2013, 12:25 PM

Yeah, I know. I am going to try taking off work the week of 18-22 March to do the install and get it tuned. We'll see if Uncle Sam cooperates with my plans....

THink I'm just going to run with the tube Whipple supplies, and perform their recommended factory air box mod, which they claim is good for 25HP and 1.2psi of boost. We'll see...

AngelSpeedFreak · 03-02-2013, 12:48 PM

Remember your boost will be no where near what you would see at sea level due to our 5,000ft difference. You will probably loose 2-3Psi just for that then another 1-2 as I think you have long tubes right? Are you sticking with the stock upper pulley? 4.0 I believe for whipple?

Batmanntexas · 03-03-2013, 03:33 PM

Correct on the Long tubes and 4.0" pulley. I remember when I moved here last summer with my supercharged Avalanche. I was making about 8-9psi in NC, get to ABQ and it dropped down to 2-3psi. I had to order a 1/2" smaller pulley to bring it back up. My plan is to get it going with the 4", see what kind of boost it is making, then order the appropriately sized pulley to bring it up to where it needs to be. I'm thinking probably a 1/2" smaller again, but I'm going to wait to be sure.
