Default Supercharger question

As anyone that has had the pleasure of installing a whipple on a Suburban knows, its a pain in the *** to keep the O-ring in between the upper and lower half of the intake manifold in place. i used light grease as suggested and after the second attempt I managed to wreck the O-ring. Does any one know if i can use permatex form a gasket? or do need to wait for whipple to open next week and order a new oring. Any help is appreciated.

I don't know about the oring, but if you have to use one glue it in place with a dab of 3m 5200 quick set.

Quick wrap up on the gasket issue. I used 3m contact cement spray. worked perfect.

I have the same thing but mine is a 2013. Wondering if you got the Whipple tune with that, if so could you post it here. Wondering what differences there are if any.

No, I contacted Richard (Atomic) I Have a cam, headers, 4l80e conversion, 90mm throttle body, etc,,. All I can say is, Richard/Atomic is outstanding, he had me up and running on the first try!
