Still here only about 1500 on the blower no problems with the motor. For some reason I want more power looking to going forged in the winter.

Hey guys still hanging around. The whipple is doing awesome. I have had it alittle over a year and put on about 6000 miles. I would love to forge the insides and lower the boost but man is that crap going to be exspensive.

The Whipple has been on for about 35k miles. She is running fine. A new engine block and cylinder heads are in the garage waiting for forged internals. Hoping to see some time a either New Jersey Motorsports Park or Summit Raceway for a little fun. More interested in turns than the 1/4 mile. She proved herself well on the track last year during the Shelby American Auto Club 33.

No problems now at 1.75 years and 8500 mi (10,000 odo) other than the mysterious oil-in-coolant issue that moosestang had as well. Plugs didn't foul, coolant didn't migrate backwards into the oil and I've stopped stopped looking for signs of a blown head gasket because there never have been any. Only real downside to boost is frequent contact with LEOs but summer should soon bring almost 24 hour 115-120 deg temps and with it heatsoak and pulled timing. Oh, the slow and lazy days of southwest summers...
