Whipple HO Polished kit will be here in a few days and just got in the gauges and dash pod . I want to upgrade the LCA's and the UCA, also want to lower the car. Wondering if I could just get a set of adjustable LCA and UCA's with a set of lowering springs? Would that be good enough to handle the power or should I get a whole suspension kit along with the LCA and UCA's?

I am planning on a Whipple HO this coming summer. Which gauges did you order? Are you planning on installing a catch can? Thank you.

I got theAutometer Cobalt series of gauges from Lethalperformance.com and I got the Mechanical Boost/Vacuum, Electrical Oil Pressure, and Wideband A/F with Autometer's Dash Pod. Looks AMAZING on my black leather interior

Yes, you can just get some LCA, UCA, and springs that should help you alot as far as wheel hop goes.

You might need more depending on the power you plan on pushing out tho...

I have Che upper and lower control arms, all adjustable. I have the frpp lower springs with stock shocks and struts. I also run M&H drag radials all the time so if something was going to fail it would have allready. Any decent lower control arms should handle it and I don't get any wheel hop at all. I do get some wheel spin on occasion, but that's much better than wheel hop.

I would recommend an aeroforce gauge so you can record your fuel pressure at wide open throttle. You can do an electric fuel pressure gauge, but it's a pain in the but hooking it up because of the whipple intake tube and the lack of a shrader valve on the fuel rails.

Whipple recommends checking the fuel pressure at WOT, it should be in the 70psi range. Mine runs 76.8 above 6,000 rpms. I read a post on M0dularfords.com where a shop forgot to plug in the other fuel pump module and the guys car ran extremely lean on the dyno. Fuel pressure on his car never got over 38psi. So check your fuel pressure people. The guys car was fine, but it could have grenaded.

You are golden with the above mentioned mods for the suspension and handling the power of the Whipple. I have a totally stock suspension right now and do not get wheel hop but I have serious wheel spin in the first 2-3 gears at WOT. So this spring first and foremost I will get the rear suspension done (UCA, LCA's, and panhard bar, and reinstall the rear lowering springs from Steeda.) I had mine in before but removed them as the drop (about 1.25 inch caused me to worry about the side exhaust scraping too much). Unless you have the kit I do that will not be an issue for you. Welcome to the boosted club (pre-welcome) you will not be disappointed! J

I am in a similar boat whipple wise but wanted to remain at stock ride height because of my steep driveway.

I just wanted to pass along something I was told by Dave at Brenspeed when I called to order suspension.

I was going to get fixed LCA's and an Udjustable Upper.

Dave said that the udjustable uppers have almost no adjustment at all and are almost useless.

He said to do a fixed upper and adjustable lowers to change the pinion angle.

Like I said I have no plans to drop the car now but who knows about the future so I figured I would go with Dave's recommendation.

Kind of goes against some things I have read on here, but who I am to argue with him, he does this stuff for a living.

So FYI.

And congrats.
