Whipple charged! What spark plugs should I run?
I am running 12lbs on a stock motor 2006 Mustang GT. I fouled the plugs and need new ones. What ones do you guys with whipples use? What should the gap be? I am in Orange County, CA and run 91 octane.

Autolite HTO's, gapped at .032, a new set will cost you about $90.00 ungapped. You could also call Mike or Dennis at Whipple SC and order a pre-gapped set for about $130. FYI the tool to gap the plugs runs about $30. choice is yours. Whipple will send you the ford Racing plugs. I have a new set of HTO ungapped sitting on the self, just FYI

I have a few questions? About my Whipple
It looks like you know a little about the Whipple. I want to send you a few pictures of a leak I just developed at new supercharger and windage tray. It looks like it is blowing some oil out??? I have good clear pictures of it. What is an email I can send them to? PM it to me!

One Love, your leaking oil from the snout of the supercharger. Check the top of hood just above where the pulley rest you'll find some oil. Your gonna have to replace the snout. The snout is gonna run you about $300-400 bucks. There is no need to worry this is common problem and it happens sometimes. Post pics in the supercharger tech thread. Give Mike or Dennis they will explan the details.

Alright, that is not comming from the snout. Is it just on one side? When your in boost you might be sucking oil from the heads. (Sorry, that doesn't sound good) Check the vacuum line with the green quick connect that goes connects to the inlet side of the blower. You may have oil in that line. Did you check the actuator on the passenger side? I bet its releasing oil when you are in and out of boost. FYI, I would recommend that you take off the blower and clean out the intake as you are going to have alot of build up in there. you may have to replace the actuator. Its that a round black thing in the second photo.

I live in Yorba Linda, CA Wildfire country! Now Mudslides!
I thought I was going to have to do that. It was fine before I switched to the 12lbs and the Torco. So I do not know what did it? Time? Mileage? To much oil ingested? Torco? Boost? Accuator it not leaking at all. I have 20,000 miles of boosting on car. No issuses until now. Oil is leaking on both sides. The first photo posted is of the drivers side in the post above. It is just hard to get a better pic then that.
Now that it is there! I have to deal with it. Questions?
1) Will it hurt the car the way it is until I can Fix it?
2) Does it effect the performance now?
3) How the heck do I do it? Is there a step by step any where?
I have been wanting air oil separators for awhile now. I now plan to do this over the holidays. I need to know how to remove supercharger and how to re-install it. Need to know all the Torqu for each bolt.
