I hope I'm not late for work!

Why would you want it so close to the rotors? Having it further away will get you better atomization and a more even dispersion in the air supply.
I dont know about a whipple, but on a TVS the worry was that being closer could have a bit of a bead blast effect on the rotors. Just some food for thought.

The intake tract on the whipples has to make a 150 degree turn or so and its a good foot to 1.5' away from the actual rotors, it should have plenty of time to vaporize. The turbulence through the rotors will help with vaporization.

I definitely like the 1/8th mile better. At the end of the day this hobby/sport is about having fun. If you are constantly breaking **** in the 1/4 and never break anything in the 1/8th and have very marginal extra fun by running and extra 3-4 seconds then its not really worth it. I dont really see it worth the effort to appease internet idiots that say the 1/8th isnt a real track.

All this talk of more parts breaking during the 1/4 mile.. what's the theory/reasoning behind this?
My initial thought is that the most stress is put upon the truck during the first 60 feet.

Atomic is on a different level.
His username and avatar are very fitting for a reason. You dont make the power he was making without some serious heat. Melting engine parts type of heat...

Got my spacer done! Got one in 1/2" and 1". Turned out to be more expensive to do than I thought, but thats ok.
Both of them stacked,
Now just need it machined it for the oring and should be good to go! Ill take some pics of the distance from the bottom of the manifold to the intercooler, its pretty close without any spacer.
