Yep I see them come up for sale frequently on facebook marketplace. Folks are asking almost retail pricing on them because they know these injectors are in high demand and hard to find at the moment.

All the parts accounted for and car was dropped off to Livernois and they didn't waste any time. Really a different experience as a customer with them compared to the last place. They are on top of things, and prompt.

First thing found... long story short: Whipple unit has been shipped out and is on the way back to Whipple for analysis. Found issues for what appears as very un-natural wear "to me." I'm not posting any pics but one rotor looked rubbed shiny where the other still had the black coating.

I am def in that 1%

Sigh. Hope/Pray Whipple stands behind it.

Latest update from Whipple was "Normal wear and tear looks fine, but we will rebuild for $2000."

Told Livernois to have it returned.

I don't even want this car when its done anymore. I'm over it at this point.

Update. Whipple ended up coming through and shipped Livernois new supercharger. Arrived Tuesday this week.

LT4 injectors, HPFP, gauges, 160thermostat, hurst shifter are already installed.

All that is left is put blower back on and dyno.

This time I think it's nothing but positive news from here. Hopefully get a video to share and pick it up next week.

Just got call from Liv. it was dyno'd video taken. Just over 600 to wheels. Said fuel on low pressure side was pretty low. Agreed to have a boost pump installed.

Expect video soon!

I think the boost a pump will help bring it up enough to be safe for you. Was the on 93 octane?

Yup, 93 is pretty much the MI "Premium" octane at all gas stations.

Also found out it's an MSD unit going in. Had to study up on what a BAP did and all that and of course stumbled on all the anti-BAP threads etc. I'm sure Livernois knows how to configure it not to constantly overvolt the in-tank pump and at what RPMs to engage.

I was told today was another dyno run after BAP is installed so hope I will get a vid to share later.

I would also suggest installing a flex sensor and then you can mix some E in the tank. You don't need much either to get good octane and a decent power gain. E40-E50(100-102 octane) still will allow you to run a bit more timing, pick up some power, and help keep those cylinder temps down.
