Default Three Questions for the Whipple Guys

What spark plugs and wires do you run?
What have you done to improve on some of whipple's faults and how much differance did it make?
One other quick question what size pulley do you have and how much boost is it giving you?

Thanks,
Sam

Ditched whipple computer, got a custom tune, ditched extra injectors, got 8 new 42lbs injectors. Disabled the electric boost bypass. I don't know what a difference it made cause i just started off with it, but i hear it makes a huge difference.
I have 4 1/4 pully witch makes 5.5 lbs right now on my 6.0

TR-6s gapped at .30 with stock wires (maybe I should fix that...hmmm)

Got rid of the Craptronics and installed 42lb SVO injectors, which flow like 50lbers (or larger, can't remember) at our higher fuel pressure - definately made a HUGE difference

3.5" pulley gives me 11 PSI, but I would like to go 1/4" smaller

Most important: Nelson tune to keep it from blowing up (well, at least prematurely...) And let's not forget a built 4L60E to go behind it all.Ii got a local guy to build it and warranty it for 3 years / 36000 miles. He told me if it breaks, he will fix it - no additional expense to me

Yea i have tr-6's too with stock wires. Should get new wires but don't really know what to get haven't really heard of the definate "best" wires to get.

Nelson or pcmforless tune is the best both of those guys know how to tune for the whipple well. If you get hptuners or somthing, then you can log, and send the logs to them and they can email you tunes and you can load them. It was so easy bryan(pcm4less) was great about it.
