Good.

I'm doing my Elite Catch can install sometime next week (weather permitting). Your pics and thread are helpful since i'll have to lift my supercharger up off the blocks to install the PCV

How are you addressing the refill of the supercharger coolant since the system is a closed system and it needs a special tool from GM to refill?

Coolant vacuum refill kit is what I used on the Mustang. Worked great. Am I missing something with the Camaro?

WOW! And you are almost finished? This seems like a breeze compared to the mustang which included grinding, re wiring, etc...

as long as you have the correct fittings you should be good to go.

Use a reservoir with this Whipple and the factory bleeder isn't used.

+1 on adding a high point reservoir to eliminate air pockets and make fill/top off a breeze. ADM sells a small Edelbrock res kit that brackets to the drivers side strut tower and is simple to install. It’s the same one that comes with the E-Force blower kit. I believe Stephen12ZL1 did a nice install post on it.

Hose out bottom of catch can, there is room beside the filter to reach the valve for opening it.

Wow dude. That’s the best mounting position for a catch can on an LT4 I’ve never seen. Nice work.

It's not as pretty as I would like, I plan on taking it apart and working on it some more one of these rainy days.

Thanks I got a drawing from whipple. I having a template made at a local printer to make it easier. Iv been going back and fourth on weather to put it back on or just drive it for the season and deal with the rest over the winter. I did a lot of reading here on the whipple but missed the part on cutting the hood. I’m not a fan of mods I can’t easily return back to stock.

Dang!! I didn’t know the hood needed to be cut in order to fit a whipple.

That’s a curve ball I wasn’t expecting.
