phunk's Whipple GT

Funny reference lol. Yup that's this car! Check out my whipple dyno results thread in the forced induction area to read about it. I'd link you but I'm on my phone here. I will dyno again right away with the headers.

Awesome! I am going to rub those numbers in my coworkers face who said "no way you could almost double the wheel hp with just a SC" hahahaha

We just finished mating the kooks rear sections to the front of my magnaflow carback. Cut out the reductions / bottlenecks of course and welded in 3" straights

Well were calling it. Turns out you need some special tool to press a roll pin to get this rediculously over complicated shifter out of the car. This shifter is a train wreck. So I'm gonna have to abandon the car until I can get this SST to remove the roll pin. There might be another way, but I'm not seeing it and I'm tired and jerking around with this.

I'm confused. I haven't heard anyone who changed their shifters say they couldn't get the stock one out.
Hmmmm

I got over my disbelief in how obnoxious the shifter is in this car and made a tool myself to press out the roll pin. I win another round.

Loving life right now let me tell ya!!!!

Not gonna lie...this is why I went with an auto. I do miss a manual though. I just knew an auto would take the power better.

Well I got it all done, and it runs. All seems well. It's loud as hell. Time to sleep, will post pics and video maybe tomorrow.

Nice!

Very nice Charles! Looking forward to seeing if there is any difference once you are back on the dyno.

Drove the car for like 5 hours today. I love the new setup. Clutch drives awesome can hardly tell it isn't stock. Pedal might even feel lighter than stock. No extra noise from the twin disk because the floater plate is sprung, awesome.

The headers sound sick. Cold start scared me for a minute but they actually aren't much louder when driving normal... But the car screams when you get on it. I think it sounds exactly how I hoped it would. A little raspy sometimes, but it sounds mean either way.

I can't tell if it's faster but it's definitely not slower. I'll try and dyno right away.
