Cool!

Maybe someday those instructions which are lacking will be updated or someone will do a how to guide w/illustrations. Your experience kinda confirms my suspicions. Not being experienced with working on cars I would not attempt an install like this on my own with just the manual to guide me.

No gauges, no dyno, just the programming that Whipple did to the computer for me. I want to get on the dyno, but it will be a little while. I took such a hit on the market these last couple of weeks, honestly, I am broke! I'm lucky I ordered the kit 6 weeks ago, if I had to now, I would not be able to.

Oh, lastly, I have no other mods, except a Bullitt grill. Otherwise, all stock.

very nice! How does th whine sound?? like the cobra or louder?? Man I love roots type blowers, sounds so sick. Make sure you dont get any pinging, congratz on a awesome wild horse.

yep they told everyone they had to increase prices because they were actually losing money, so everyone started ordering before the price went up.

Congrats CobraO and the Gen2's are more efficient than prev years so you are pushing 500 HP (or darn close) like Nine mentioned above! Again welcome to the Whipple Crew!

Congratulations Cobra, let the fun begin.
Keep us posted the next few weeks on how things go. I ended up having to replace my cops after the install b/c of, what I reckon was spark blowout. The Granatelli's fixed it.
