Default Buying used whipple, want to not use the craptronics.....

how do i go about this correctly?

fuel pump? injectors? etc.......


i don't want to get into the wiring harness, and whipples electronics, i want to tune and go..........

also........ the dealership that's taking it off of .t.'s trucks..... is going to send it out and have it rebuilt. so i get a fresh whipple for 2k complete. they have a second one.... if anyone wants... but i believe it'll be just standard used. question is, i'm told i need the waterpump neck, and a throttlebody gasket from whipple. i dont have the kit or paperwork yet..... can anyone tell me anything else i might need?

also, the kits going from a tahoe....to a silverado...... input?


thanks guys.

You can use the stock fuel pump, just need bigger injectors and a custom tune. I pulled all the wiring off my Whipple (there is some work you need to do to the bypass valve though). If you want, I can scan and Email you the installation instructions that came with my kit. Just let me know.

I think that Don at Dez Racing can help you with all your needs and any questions that you have. He has worked on whipple equipped vehicles and he is the best at tuning the trucks
