Default Just ordered my Whipple

First off I want to thank Jared and Derrick from lethalperformance for answering my questions and helping with the ordering process. As some of you know i've been looking into this kit for awhile and finally just had to have it. I got it with the custom tune and a 12psi pulley and I can't wait to get it haha.

Congrats on the purchase. You are going to luv it. 12lb pulley is a bit much for a stock block. I know with long tubes you should loose a lb or 2. That thing is going to rip, at least for a while

Speaking to Derrick sounded like 12psi with a safe tune should be alright. I'll be getting a dyno tune soon so we can set it conservatively. I also have plans to build a motor so if the worse happens I can up the boost more haha.

great choice on that SC.
you should be alright with that power level as long as the tune is good, and you dont beat the crap out of it too much.
Whipple FTW!

i'm also at almost 4000 ft, so I understand that some boost gets lost with altitude. Thanks Onederful100 for the reassurance haha

if it turns out to be too much power, you can always just change to a bigger pulley for less boost, easy.
