Help! Post 3.0 Whipple install.

[tiamatvlll]

Finally joined the forums after year of lurking.

I finished my Whipple stage 2 complete kit install last night on my 2018 Gt PP1 automatic. I started it up and with in 5 minutes at idle the header where glowing like the sun, rpm’s where hovering between 1400 and going up, also have no power brakes. I shut it off and pulled the code from the tamahawk. It gave me a P0315(crank position) and P0556(brake booster circuit fault). I email Whipple but it being the weekend I’ll most like get a replie on Monday. I have also tried searching the forums and could find nothing. Any advice would be helpful.

if your headers was glowing form just idle then you are either misfiring like a MF or you have a stuck injector spraying loads of fuel into one cylinder causing excessive EGTs. Given your misfire code I'd assume you are doing a little of both, misfiring thus dumping unburnt fuel into your exhaust, which ignites and creates flames with after awhile will have your primaries glowing.

Double check your work behind the blower assembly and make sure nothing is unplugged or plugged in wrong, check the gap on your plugs as well. They are prob fouled out at this point, but pull them out and replace if needed

Thank. I’ll give that a try.

Finally got it figured out. Thanks to Jeff at Whipple. Sent him some data log from the tomahawk and he found the problem was a bad calibrated throttle body. He sent me a new one the next day installed it and now the car is running fine.
