Ok I have to just recalibrate myself...

First off, SS sounds ridiculous! Many congrats on an awesome build....also happy to see I am not the only crazy who loves trying a bunch of things at once!

Since I was having trouble concentrating with all those blowers on the shelf...you ended up using the 2.9 Whipple, correct? Not being very familiar with the TBSS accessory drive (my apologies for my ignorance) but does the stock TBSS accessory drive cleanly align with the blower pulley or did you have to do something custom? Reason I ask is because I am going with the Whipple in a custom app but have a both a Vette and standard truck accessory drive in my possession. Wondering which one makes more sense? Also wondering how you came upon all these blowers and can you point me toward one?!?! Lol

Bitchin' build man, best of luck with it! Btw did you mention which muffler you went with on the updated exhaust? Sounds killer!

Vette ones won't line up unless you buy a whipple for Vette. But heard the belt wrap on those is horrible. You can maybe use truck or TBSS accessories and just buy a dirty dingo or LSS bracket. Or make a bracket to give you enough clearance for the throttle body.

As far as being different yea I tend to like that. Currently doing a forged LSA with ZR1 blower on a 3rd gen Camaro , ZL1 blower on a 4th gen. I come across blowers often and just try out different things when I'm bored.

As for exhaust they're dual borla XS 3" with some local shop resonators. Going to try out there mufflers as well to quiet it down even more.

Hopefully I answered your questions if not feel free to ask.

Did you use the Whipple heat exchanger at the front? I've been working on a Whipple for my Saab and that is one of the lingering pieces of the puzzle. It looks like I may have to fabricate a new radiator support bracket to make it fit, but even that is iffy...

Thanks yea I'm going to just keep it as is. Especially since my TBSS is white, and can't complain about the price I got it for.
Btw here are some pics of it, also in the middle of mocking up a set of Brembo brakes
