The two yellow boxes are my Autometer Cobalt A/F and boost gauges. Next to them is a box for the Interceptor gauge.

I ordered mine from Lethal Performance, who I highly recommend to anyone thinking about getting a Whipple. Very good customer service thus far. Mine is a GenII blower, and for now I have 3.5" and 3.75" at my disposal. I asked for a pulley for 8psi, so I assume that's what the 3.5" one is for. I'll probably go with that one, but I may do some asking around about how much greater the boost is on the GenII units. My car is an automatic, so I'm looking to keep the boost at 8psi or less until I can rebuild/replace the tranny.

Agreed! I have 6 days off from work coming up, so I'm going to take my time. Hopefully a friend of mine from Florida will be driving up to help with the install, since he's a little more experienced with a wrench than I am. I would like to get everything (blower, new radiator, gauges, oil separator) installed in 3 days time, but I have all 6 days if I need them.

Nice choice! You are definitely going to be happy once you get on it and hear that supercharger whine. It shouldn't take you more then 3 days. It is a relatively simple install and the directions are easy to follow.

Congrats you will love it.

Very nice looking Dave, can't wait to see/hear/drive it in the car. I really hope I can make the trip up to help with the install, it will be a nice change to work on a V8 and install that supercharger.

It's gonna be fun.

The larger pulley will be the lower boost. My 10psi pulley with the Gen 1 whipple is 3.375", so I assume that the 3.5" is your 10lb. pulley, and the 3.75" is your 8 lb. pulley. Someone with a Gen II know for sure?

I had 8.5 with my Auto and fried the third gear band the second trip to the track. Before you get too nervous let me explain. My theory is that the tune for N/A I had for about the last 30,000 miles or so was very agressive on the shift firmness. My car has been banging gears for awhile now. When I put the KB on it came with no change to the tranny at all. I immediately noticed that the shifts were really mushy with no feel at all. I thought that was the way they were with the KB tune. What I didn't know was that my clutches and bands were toast from the banging and the KB exposed the weekness. I got a used tranny with 18,000 miles on it and right off the bat the shift was a lot firmer. In fact it chirps second under full throttle now. As long as your trans is in good condition you should be fine. I'm now running the 11 pound pulley with noe shift issues. Alternative Auto knows how to tune the auto to pull torque out just before the third gear shift. If you are close then I would go there. I plan on driving 645 miles to get a day on the dyno with them to thrash my tune. Just my 2c.
