I’m poor; that’s why I bought the WalMart blower

Yea I will video it after work and post it. I was surprisedIs that a logged 1/4mile run? A 1 gear pull is not the same
My air temp goes from 77 at the starting line to 111 when I let off.
Yeah, but who cares. Those 03/04 Cobras screamed like a banshee under boost with a KB setup. What an awesome sound. Those cars are so badass. Who cares if they aren't the fastest things on the road these days. I read once where someone called it a "caveman". Not refined, but a bruiser for sure.also if you guys want to really talk about heat soak. go back to the terminator days with the old 2.2 Kenne Bells. You could legit fry an egg/bacon on them easily. and only made like 580rwhp lol
think intercooler, pretty much all forced induction you'd need to pull the front bumper. I don't think the whipple needs to have anything grinded though I could be wrong.Darn!
No way around removing the bumper eh. That stinks! That is the one piece that I know I will never be able to reinstall as clean as it came from the factory. So even with all the “front” stuff off - rad etc, the intercooler still won’t go in unless the bumper is off.
Yea. The turbo is more involved than what I’m wanting to do. The Roush / VMP I’m not liking having to take a grinder to the block or having to carve into the rear engine bay support beam. Does this need to be done for the Whipple as well?
Good luck on your install!
Funny, I've had mine off twice now and was very happy it went well and it was pretty straight forward (after reading directions) to get it all buttoned back up looking as good as from the showroom floor. My problem was in the showroom before I bought it I noticed the front edge on the bumper and the top of the grill were crooked. Dealership agreed no problem to fix it along with a paint blemish. When I picked it up the paint was great, but the bumper was only 90% better, I took it just to get it over with. First time I pulled the bumper I found two washers, one rusty thick one and one regular that were just added under the top corner of the bumper from the dealership to "tweak" it into place. I've added another one, but it still doesn't sit perfect. Then I read all the horror stories on guys busting their side tabs/clips and think how lucky I was pulling mine twice without any issue.Darn!

Absolutely. Everyone gets into fights so easily about which system is the best. I never imagined having a car with over 600whp to daily drive but this is done so easily now with every system.Honestly, ANY of the forced induction options look great and they ALL perform incredibly!
There’s really no “best”, just a “best for you”.
No grinding needed to anything with Whipple install, very straight forward install.Darn!
