Well she's on,,,, Yes I did the Whipple - a Gen 1 from Jason Heffner. Had it running last night for a great cruise.

Installed it myself.... Biggest problem was the belt, first getting hte right one then second what has to be done to get to the SC belt - first the oil cover and Belt, then the accessory belt then FINALLY the SC Belt.

After firing her up - I found out the pulley was bent - Damn UPS guys... and I can say you can change the pulley without removing the SC itself and it is a challenge! What ever you do - don't drop the screws as it will probably fall behind the water pump.... BTW they are M6x1.0 pitch, 12 MM long cap screw:bored

and WOW :eek- what a kick in the arse it is!

I also need to thank a couple of the guys I've been bugging - so Thanks Shadowman, Rich GTGuy and Jason!

and the Goodyears are soon to be burned off as they are useless.... Hoosiers A6's are in the SUV being heat cycled now...

How do you heat cycle the tires in your SUV? I don't think backing it out into the sun and then pulling back into the garage several times will do it.:lol

TOO Cool !!!!

Thank you for letting me be a small part of your project. I enjoyed the chat and am very happy for you.

Have fun and be safe getting to know her all over again.

Takes care

Going to a Whipple is often the first sign of what's referred to as "Onefootitis" in the boating world. We'll know if you have "boostitis" in about a month or so. (We'll be able to tell if yewz gots it 'cause IF yewz gots it - you'll be contacting Heffner about a pair of hair dryers!)

One guy in Charlotte who does NASCAR tires told me to find a tobacco barn which have all been tore down around here. The second option he said was to build a tin shed.... If I did the Associations NA$I's of my neighborhood would go crazy so the third best option was to put them in my Black SUV and park in the sun where it get to 140f+ inside on a 100f day.... Don't know if it will work but it was worth a try and the SUV has a "different" car smell now

Thank god for covered parking garages out here.....
