Default Bought a whipple on CL for $350... now what? Lol

Picked up a whipple off craigslist for a whopping $350 and since i never thought i coyld afford one i havent done any reasearch so got a couple questions...

Current mods in sig...

Is mt fuel pump gonna hold up anymore?

Are the two injectors that come with the kit still gonna be enough with what i already have?

Im tuned for everything below just recently... From what ive read this whipple computer is ready to go with no need to tune... then i read somewhere else i can tune the ecm instead and eliminate this whipple compute... This sound right? Im wondering if i can run the whipple on its comp for now and tune the ecm for it later?

Abviously my tranny and rear end are ticking time bombs once this is on... i know this and i know there are tons of threads on this so dont really need any info on it...

May end up with a couple more questions later... Thanks!

I don't have any experience with Whipple, but from what I have read, people usually ditch the Whipple electronics and two injectors for a custom tune and 8 bigger injectors. I would think it is easier to get an extra PCM tuned for the Whipple then when you are ready to install it, you don't have to mess with the whipple electronics, and you can send your stock PCM back for your deposit back.

Take off the lower and rear parts of the blower. . . . Inspect the rotors. . . If they get out if sync, it will put shavings in the engine.

Cap off the injectors that are extra. Get a custom tune for the new boost

Is it a single or 2 belt system?

Single belt and from the way it looks theres no way to use 8 injectors?

I know i want a custom tune... But im asking for now if itll work fine... Im not a drag racer so if ive lost a bit of power for the time being i dont care... also ill check and make sure its not outta sinc unside... And i dont know what u mean by capping off the extra injectors? The two that are before the throttle body? I still run stock injectors as it is and they are maxed out... Was hoping this woyld eliminate me buying more lol

heres a pic from the add... im picking it up tomorrow... already paid for it paypal... figure even if its blown up i can part it and get that back... but its some mexican guy that pulled it and said it was on a suburban that came in with a blown motor... the guy who bought the burban said he didnt want them to put it back on because he thought thats why it blew... which im sure they do create more wear on an engine... it was pulled at a chevy dealer and he said it was working fine when the customer drove it to the shop...

i guess whipple from what ive rear had three different version of this... it came off a 2000 and mines a 03 but i read i may not need the elbow because i have a body lift so ill find out eventually im sure...

still confused on the injector issue...

from the way it looks this replaces the intake manifold...
and the new setup doesnt come with 8 holes for injectors... only the two that come with the system... so i dont see how i can go bigger... or delete them or any of that?

Ditch the extra 2 injectors that come with it and the whipple electronics and buy some 42 or 60lb injectors to replace your stockers and have it tuned.. If the blower is in working shape

i guess i need to look at it in person... cause it looks to me like the stock manifold is replaced with the charger... the charger not having holes for 8 injectors... thats where im confused...

also do i need to run a aftermarket mass air flow sensor?
