lol Thanks T/A KID btw just an update. Whipple called me and told me that the blower is made wrong. So they sent me a call tag last week and I took it to a local fedex dealer to have it shipped back. 3 days there, they said they would have it back out to me same day. 3 days back should have recieved it back today. I called and they told me that they never recieved it. I called the fedex place and they told me "well we didnt have a box big enough so we had to order one and it took a week and a half to come in" so it just left here today and now I am down another 1.5-2 weeks waiting on this thing to come back. Now just stuck with not much else left untill I get it back.

That stinks about the shipping but at least it was "we haven't shipped it yet" instead of "we lost it". Build is going to be awesome though! Can't wait to see the finished product! Where in NE Arkansas are you located?? I graduated from UofA, moved down here for a job.

I would never trust fedex or ups to pack a supercharger.

Well got some good news today. Whipple will be shipped back tomorrow. Also kept trying to find a tb to work with the crusher inlet. Well I have been trying to find a ford tb that would work. Well low and behold the copo Camaro tb is what I will be using. It runs the same inlet. So should have some more pics up next week sometime. Got harness on order be a couple more weeks before I get it.

Damn you must have read my mind on this. Been thinking something like his would be cool ever since the copos were announced to come with a 4.0l blower.
