Whipple 2.9L Self Install
I am considering a Whipple SC and am curious if anyone has installed their own? I am a "shade tree mechanic" with tools and a garage. Just curious if it is advisable or not.

Did you get a tune right away? There is a reputable shop about an hour away that will do the install and tune for $8495.00. Doesn't seem like I could install it and then have a tune done for much cheaper than that. Only the satisfaction of doing it myself.

It took me 17 hours start to finish! However that's also many ,many people coming over to talk and see the install, worth every minute

I took my computer to my tuner for a base tune before I started the install so I could take it in for a dyno tune right away. Honestly I would never pay anyone to install the blower it is so easy. Just time consuming. Everything in my sig was installed with jack stands in my garage.

Very straight forward install, it took me about 13 hours over 3 days to do it. With a little help I was able to get the car drivable tune wise and then I took it to slowhawk for some dyno tuning. Don dialed my car in perfect.

I would ask my wife, but I would be completely bald before we were done. Hope I didnt offend you, just acknowledging your wife's easiness on the eyes....

John, you should get in touch with Mike Norris down in Plainfield. You won't be disappointed. I have Mike, Eric and Bruce do a great deal of work on my car and I can't speak highly enough about them!
Edit.....Phone calls are the best way to reach him.
