I am also going to put a longer belt on. The tensior is 7/8 from Max and the pulley with the slide adjuster is all the way to the left making the belt a total PIA to put on. The belt is a 816, gonna try a 820 green.


I did take it out for a spin for the first time yesterday since it was around 40 degrees and the roads were clean from a previous rain. It pulls strong from everywhere....The car drives like stock and you wouldn't be able to tell the Whipple is there if it didn't have that part throttle whine. What I like about the Whipple is how it delivers power. It has the PD low end but honestly feels more geared toward midrange and top end... It just keeps pulling harder and harder as it revs. 6500rpm is really short shifting it by how it feels...I think it needs spun to 7k but probably not a good idea with DOD lifters.

Careful with a longer belt. The tensioner near it's max is how I have had the best luck. Any looser and it can throw the belt.

Sweet ride and nice upgrade, I bet the power is amazing. Was it a fluke that the shop just missed that? Hope to see you around the boulevard this summer. I’d like to see this in person.

Yea the belt length was not the issue. Needed to flip the nut around for the slide tensioner allowing a little more slack to get the belt on.

Thanks. I think so...the shop has been a pleasure to deal with.
