GEN 1 Whipple Kit Install :D

[Dalamar]

Nice, I started working on mine in my spare time a couple weeks ago, got my kooks headers and exhaust installed, I was torn because I've used American Racing Headers in the past and they're down the road from me, but I liked the true dual and rear exit setup from kooks. I started on the supercharger and oil pump gear install today, got as far as the stock intake manifold removed. That got me a lot more space to work in, now to work towards the oil pump

Sounds Sweet Bsimms, you have a thread on it?; I'd check it out. Good times man.

I decided to stick with the stock resinator and muffler because I like how the truck sounds.
Can always do a cat back later. was looking at a Boorla dual muffler cat back that keeps it dual pipe all the way back. will see how this turns out

not much progress over the weekend.
Been looking for a few parts.

Larger PS reservoir, I've ordered online 3x and recieved 3 emails back stating it is no longer available....



This is a EcoBoost Rad, supposed to be able to fit, will know here soon.









Also, can't find those Ford Racing blue valve covers anywhere either, same story, so I got a set of stockers and sent them out for plasti-dip

I've got a set of the "new in box" aluminum cam covers. Stock finish, so you would have to get them powder coated in the Ford Racing Blue, as I did.

Thanks man, I'll take you up on this if the finish doesn't work out on the stockers...

Sent out for plasti-dip??
Do you mean hydro-dip?

 

[Dalamar]

My coating guy was talking about some kind of dip, but got back with me and recommended a magnesium paint.
will have it back Tuesday to squint at.

6.2L trucks and 3.5L EB trucks had the same radiator from the factory- should work fine.

damn I was looking for a set of those, I just got the plastic valve covers back on today after doing the oil pump gear, don't feel like taking them back off in the near future. Still chipping away at my whipple install

Hey @Dalamar, have you looked or considered going with the 8 rib serpentine pulley system?

When I finally pull the trigger to get my compressor upgraded this is something I really need to do.

 

[Dalamar]

I haven't looked at that yet MTF. Are you pushing 700+ on your stock motor?

I have been looking at Rogue Racing parts, had a nice long chat with the design guy there and am looking at the Bump-Stop kit and Traction bars. reading your Sig - how do you like the traction bars on your truck? He said "highly" recommended with the added torque.
