New to superchargers

so I've ordered a whipple lt1 blower and I'm excited beyond belief, but, i don't want to get my hopes way too up. can anyone give me the run down about their first experiences when they got their blower?

what did you think the first time you drove it?
does anything annoy you?
is it, like super duper awesome?
can you notice a big change in power?
....obviously i know I'm looking at around 150 horse bump but i can't say i really know how to gauge that.

you will love it! I ordered the edelbrock e-force last week for myself. In the past I had a Mustang that I dropped a SC in, loved the power, not so much the car after spending some time in a camaro.

I looked at the whipple too - its a awesome blower!

Better invest in some new tires

Say goodbye to your tires lol. The PD blowers are crazy powerful down low. I can blow the tires off in 1-3 at very low speeds. 4th gear will yield a burnout on the freeway. Completely different car! You won't be disappointed!

You will love it, invest in lower arms to prevent wheel hop.

Surprisingly, I have yet to experience ANY wheel hop. Just tire spin....

Are you going to install it yourself? How hard of an install are they on the Gen 6?

I heard 11-20 hours on the install, and I'd rather burn rubber than break axles with sticky tires. Wheel hop will come with MPSS or better tires.

The lower arms are easy if you have a lift, took me about 45 minutes.
