Default The Whipple is in the building **UPDATED with pics**

Well I lost my last post and searching was no help so here is a new one that I will bookmark.


My Whipple HO arrived yesterday and everything was immaculate. It was well packed and showed no damage. They are huge boxes though. No pics yet I have to find the camera but I will defineately take some tonight. I didnt go through and open all the little boxes but I did pop the tops and look at the beautiful blower. Its HUGE.

Well I called my installer and he is leaving for training for 2 weeks .

I drop the car off in 2 weeks and pick it up 3 days later.

The car should really get woken up as I also have BMR UCA, and LCA's, MGW Shifter, and Gauges to go in.

It will be sweet.

It appears that ordering FI is really a lesson in patience. AND THAT SUCKS. [:@]

Oh well it will all be worth it in the end.

Thanks,

**Update**

Well I am not the best photographer, well actually I stink but here are a few of the things I pulled out last night.

Drive it up here. I could have it done in 2 days. On second thought, i have to work, scratch that.

You could install the fuel pumps and all the wiring for them. Apparently you can run them without changing the tune. Maybe your installer would give you a break on the cost.

I might see what I can install this weekend. After hearing about what a PITA it is for those pumps I think I will pass. I am having someone else do it to save me the pain .

Thanks guys,

I have waited 2 weeks already, so whats another 2 I guess. It will just make it that much sweeter when its done.
