RE: whipple: delivering the goods
Me too. Mine went into the shop for a whipple on Monday. Called today and he said they should be done by tomorrow night. The waiting is killing me.
And the worst part is, that central FL is going to get rain all day tomorrow. [:@]
Luckily Friday through Sunday should be nice.

Thats exactly what I was thinking when I had mine installed and dyno tuned!

you hit the nail right on the head, that about sums it up. plus i dont have a garage, so thats a big PITA. and yes, it is gonna get tuned on the dyno there at the shop. and i'm probly less than the avg person when it comes to mechanical things, and i just feel a whole lot better having a pro do it rather than me experimenting on my own car. i wouldnt mind learning on someone else's car, but not mine especially with something as expensive and potent as the whipple. there were people in my mustang club that offered to help me with the install and i appreciate that, but i know the guy that's installing it and he's really good. i dont mind installing easy stuff like AB or CAI, but this is a little more complicated.
and an update: i'm taking the mustang in today to start the install. there's a few cars that they're working on but if they get done early, then they can start on my car. but he said they might not start untill tomorrow, and i'm waiting for another part w/ the gauges that should come in 2 days. so it could be done Friday or Monday. so now its the waiting game.[sm=burnout.gif]

Welcome to FI and to answer tackling the install himself question...I bet it is because it is quicker and easier to have an exp shop to install than the avg person to install and they have the shop and the dyno to tune right after....JM guess but onederful anything to change or add

RE: whipple: delivering the goods
Congrats on getting a blower installed. I just had a Vortech installed last week and was at the shop everyday to see the progress. When it was all done they trailered the car back to my place and it has been sitting in the garage since. The weather here in Toronto has been crappy since. We are on our third snow storm in less than a week. It is killing me not being able to drive the car for at least a small cruise. I also got the SOS Gauge pod for 3 gauges. Very nice piece.
