Cyaaaaaaaa !!!!

LOL, don't go posting that on any Camaro boards, you may lose some bidness !!

I always loved doing that when I owned my Typhoon, I totally embarrassed a new Viper owner at IRP one night, had him until 1/8 mile with my 'blazer'.. He was pretty cool actually, he chased me down in the pits after we ran wanting to know what it had in it, to which I responded a 4.3L V6.. Then he made me pop the hood.. Guys in sports cars hate losing to trucks !

Nice!

Were you in manual shift? What gear did you pull in?

What fuel rails did you use?

Also, any clearance done to the TB?

I am using the fuel rails that come with the Whipple base kit.

Not sure I know what you mean about clearance done to the throttle body. I did port match the blower inlet to 102mm to match the 102mm tb, other than that nothing else was necessary.

For some reason, I thought I saw a set of aftermarket rails in one of the pictures you posted... Anyhow, I am going to a return style fuel system to support E85 with the Whipple.

Also, I have an older cable operated 102MM throttle body. The lower corner of the TB hits the passenger fuel rail that Whipple supplies. I was hoping an aftermarket rail will eliminate this.

Thanks for the info, and yeah, that was me who called the shop earlier today! You guys are always friendly when I call and very helpful....appreciate it.
