8.1 Whipple intercooler installed

tbyrne · March 4, 2002

I wrapped up the Whipple intercooler installation this afternoon. It's a pretty easy install that only takes a few hours complete. The water pump is mounted in front of the passenger's side front tire and the tank is attached to the firewall on the same side. I'll be sending Whipple's computer into them on Wednesday so it can be updated and will then change the pulley after that goes back in.

Almost time to head to the track!

That's a sweet looking installation Tom. I'm looking forward to hearing the final results!!!

It does nasty things to the stock Firestone tires. Very nasty things

I'm going to work on dialing it in with a highflow induction after the Whipple computer comes back.

Tom, just stick the K&N in - you will never hear it over the Whipple.

I might work on modifying the Volant airbox first. If that doesn't work I'll go the K+N route.

btw- The picture of your cat is waaaaaay to funny! I haven't laughed that hard in awhile!

I'm assuming you mean the cat on the front page of his site!!! That is hilarious!!!

GandolphXX, not to "stray" too far off the topic here, but I've never heard of a "ragdoll". Are they very big? They look like a Himalayan a little bit. I have a Maine Coone Cat myself. I like big cats, and was thinking of getting another Maine Coone, but maybe I should look at "Ragdolls". Hmm....

You can check here for more info - good links: http://www.ragdoll.com/

I wouldn't mix the Ragdoll with Your Maine Coon - which is by the way a lovely cat breed - almost the way we went. The Ragdolls are lovers, not fighters - social with each other, not street wise, very laid back.
