I agree...Even my 2000 GMC Yukon has a 2002 flex fuel OS and runs E.

won't want to do this in the garage and may have to pay someone to do it which will add bucks to the build.

I believe the shims are 3/8" so it is not a lot of drop. I did know about this before I pulled the trigger on it. I should be able to wrap this part of the install tonight. So far I have no concerns regarding drive train angles etc.

I am doing it using my quick jacks. While it is a pain, its more likely due to my lack of patience yesterday after a long day at work.

Keep me/us posted on this build and any other quirks you may see. I am a couple weeks out to start the Whipple install (correction- the speed shop is), as I am waiting on a few other parts to arrive.
The speed shop I am using is finishing up a Whipple on a 5.0, so I am interested in seeing those dyno numbers compared to the Camaro. (in comparison to apples to apples of course)

Good to hear you have it figured out. Probably 3/8 won't affect much but still extra work and cost if someone had to pay for it. But, that's part of hot rodding and some will have no issues with it and they may lose a sale or two over it. Still will be a good blower I think. Hope someone gets one done soon so we can see some results, its a good looking blower and really like where the put the inlets and outlets for the intercooler brick lines.

Yea I feel your pain. I have the P1x, low side fuel, injectors and jms but haven’t pulled the trigger on the lt4 pump. It’s hard when you see them going for $7xx and now they are around $1000 or more. Ugggh better get one before they are sold out

That is if you find one in stock... the days of $7xx are over...supply and demand scenario... Wildhammer have them in stock, but DSX is out of stock as usual, as are many vendors.
