Default Stupid Question- where's the oil fill cap?

Shouldn't it be on the same side as the dipstick coming right out of the valve cover? I cannot find it for the life of me and I'm thinking that the whipple is located directly over it.

I always had my buddy change the oil (for $20) since he had a lift but he has since moved away. So now I'm doing it myself but I can't find the damn fill cap!

That's what I figured- Exactly where my whipple is located. Does anyone with a whipple know if the installation called for an alternate fill cap location? Just wondering if it's somewhere else and I'm not seeing it.

YES, it is on the drivers side near the firewall. When the supercharger was installed they removed the valve covers and swap sides otherwise you would never be able to put oil in it.

I am guessing you didnt put the charger on? If you did then maybe you just have a memory like me, wait a minute... who am I.

hey sorry for the threadjack but I see you are from Renton. Im right by Everett here in Mukilteo. Have you taken your truck out to Pacific Raceways in Kent yet? There are gonna be a few of us out there this spring/summer you should join us! I wanna see that thing run! Hopefully this new truck of mine will be built up by then so I can throwdown some decent times.

yep, whipple swaps the valve covers so it lands way up against the firewall on the driver side

Travish, I'll be out there for sure. Been wanting to go this last summer but never could get all the tuning and all the other work straightened out on my truck in time.

Appreciate the info guys.
