Get your LOLs in now What's next wheels fall off car? I am cursed but will tread thru the sludge of pitfalls.

Like I said before this sucks but experience is experience... learning a ton about what to do and NOT to do with motors ... too bad I picked an expensive project to get my feet wet right? LOL

Shout out to Chevy71 for being ondeck with some bolts in the event these fail me!!!
Are you F-ing kidding me??? I made it half way through your post, and wanted to drive up there and punch you in the head....LOL. Brother...Is what we do. FIX SHIT.

Mine has NO intake on it (as of today) And no LH vent (waiting for P3)
But beer in the frig, (retirement is awesome)

@Brett haha and I know seriously now that we were all victims of something less than ready for the masses but I am happy with how Whipple is not being jerks about it. I look forward to seeing the 3 I know of with the bearing issues get addressed soon.


@Chevy71 I really appreciate the offer!

Got that rocker installed last night. Have a very busy project at GM that is going to keep me from working on it much this weekend but I feel that I'm in the home stretch from here out. All the annoying stuff to install for the Whipple is done already.

Got her up and running, GREAT. (need to top of that anti-freeze)
How is the SC noise? wobble? When you installed it did you check for slag in the casting? I understand there is a problem there. I'm waiting for my SC, I hope end of the week. Just trying to figure out this P3 gauge. Got fitting coming for the boost. Still have to figure out IAT (after the screws) and AFR, as far as wiring and comparable sensors.

Well the slag in the casing being only "one" reported (and being seized) and mine is the only one I know that fully seized up... I think mine was that unit that was referenced in the other thread.

It was all good upon our inspection.

The SC noise is exactly as I would hope and it's very smooth. I think they got it right this time around. I'm not a mechanic so my terminology will be spotty regarding the sound references but the first time around it was more "clicky" sounding. This time it sounds like a normal idling stock engine with just a hint of the SC whine.

I re-flashed the computer with the Whipple tune again because all the old codes and such were there and it seemed to still be acting strange when touching throttle...

After the flash all was good and no more codes.

After several pulls I never saw the temps go over 190 while cruising the back roads and laying down rubber several times after we were past the fear of all the previous stuff that happened. Kinda like sticking your toes in the water to see if they get bit before you jump in all the way.

Never got an engine light or any codes since the flash/drive. Started her up this morning put here out in the driveway let her run for about 10m (still not going to take a drive to work in it) no codes, temps good, no leakage.

Think this is the day I've been waiting for.
