Well I'll be a monkey's tit. That kit sure didn't exist just a few months ago.

BruceH, I can tell you're bout to bust with excitment, trust me--I can relate. But be sure to get your head on straight and take your time. It will pay off when you're ready to turn the key.
Good luck, you will love the Whipple.

Thumbs up

Good luck with the install, have fun!

You're living my dream, a dream that will probably never become reality for me! $4800 for the non intercooled, it might as well be 4.8 million, I still can't afford it! LOL So many other things to spend 4800 dollars on, if I even had it to spend! Getting married on Sat, 2 mortgages, 4 years left of payments on the Mustang, home improvements,credit card, utilities, that'll do it!
Maybe I'll start saving 10 bucks a week! LOL

Anyway, enough bitchin' on my part, lets see install pics, the finished product, and some numbers!

Again, congrats and good luck!

Did it show??? Yellow lost mine for a month! I almost started the install like you did, but at the last minute decided not to. Hope you have better luck with delivery than I did!

Yellow freight stored mine in the warehouse for almost a week. I called about it and they didn't know why I didn't already have it. I called my local shipping yard and they said they have it in the warehouse. I went right then to get it. If I knew it was just sitting there I woulda picked it up sooner.

Those guys suck. We should start a letter asking Whipple to stop using Yellow. After mine showed up 1 month late, I called to see where it had been. I went up the food chain and NO ONE had a clue where it had been. And they had no concern for my aggravation.

Another thing.

Are they having you send in your computer, or do you send in the voucher and they send you a programmer???

When I did my install on my 08, they didn't have the programmer ready, so I had to send in the computer.
