    I agree, Mike answered questions on a SUNDAY for me once! Can NOT beat dealing with him at all.

    In 07 and 08, gt's were shipped to vegas, where shelby added a bunch of frpp parts and a few other things. Springs, dampeners, cai, strut brace, xpipe, mufflers, tune, hood pins, hood scoop, emblems, numbered plaques, stripes, and grill. May be missing something, but that's the bulk of it...

    they look like shelby wheels, cs56's, but this is the first time I've liked those wheels on a car, so maybe they are just similar? Looks killer.

    Which intercooler pump can I use on a whipple ?

    I'll pm, but you can post here too :) Thanks for the tip on the lightning pump, that's what's listed in the FRPP HO upgrade kit as well.

    Which intercooler pump can I use on a whipple ?

    Maybe a dumb question... but is there a list of intercooler pumps that interchange with the whipple pump or do I need to buy a new one thru whipple directly? Mine seems to be making more noise than usual, and figured I better replace it before it dies...

    PSI plus Watts?

    My understanding is that the torque arm is the main reason griggs kicks ass.

    PSI plus Watts?

    It should not bind, the propeller turns as the axle goes up and down to compensate for the angles of the bars. The turning of the propeller effectively adds/subtracts length between the center pivot point and the outside rod ends thru the range of motion so that at any given ride hieght, the...

    PSI plus Watts?

    On the vintage fays units, the driver side is not a stand alone clamp, but rather a modified shock mount that uses the U-bolts that holds the axle to the leafs as the clamp... do you think I'd have the same issue with only one side using the axle tube clamp? I seriously doubt I'll ever...

    PSI plus Watts?

    is the weight that excessive on the fays? I'm not building an all out track car, but do plan to use it more on the track than the street, so weight is a consideration. unfortunately, there just aren't a lot of good options for my application.

    PSI plus Watts?

    Fays isn't good? I'm considering theirs for my 68 right now, but I also haven't come across others that make them for that year.

    Car classes at shows... Clones :/

    Last time I took my 68 to a show, I got there and popped the hood and proceeded to go look at the other cars as I could give a shot about trophies so no final cleaning required... Apparently the fella I parked next to thought it was a contender anyway and when the judges were getting close...

    How do i tell what whipple i got 1st gen or 2nd gen

    Looks familiar! Did you get a fill station for the nitrous?

    How do i tell what whipple i got 1st gen or 2nd gen

    If you have a heat exchanger, then you have an intercooler under the blower. Think about it, what else would you be keeping cool with a heat exchanger???? Also, I was told by whipple the 140 prefix is GEN 2. But you can email them with that number to confirm, they are good people.

    How much RWHP per psi?

    I put mine on a Dyno to be safe, BUT I had spoke to frpp and whipple and both said going from a 3.5 to a 3.25 would not need a diff tune if using their tune. Considering some kits came with the 3.125, I would guess that pulley is safe with the tune as well.

    I just read he has 25mm spacers, that's why it looks fucked up!

    Michschi's Shelby Renovation

    I dunno.... maybe it's the rims, but those saleen wheels look great from the side, but look like they don't fit the car in that 1st pic from the rear angle. Don't get me wrong, the car that made me fall in love with the S197's was tucking 24's in back laying on the ground, and I've owned an...

    Tensioner Recommendations?

    You are forgetting the cost of the tensioner in there too though, thumprrrr's aren't exactly cheap! roughly $400 shipped for that if i remember right.... although I think I found a discount code to use too... and a 8 rib hd belt was about $40 or so I bet... It just all adds up!

    Tensioner Recommendations?

    One last push for 10 rib.... how much boost are you planning on running? You will end up needing a crank overdrive pulley, a smaller blower pulley, all new 8 rib pulleys on the accessories, 8 rib idlers, another new 8 rib belt... and end up spending about what the 10 rib setup costs...

    Tensioner Recommendations?

    It sounds like you'll be money ahead to just get the 10 rib drive system with those goals... I wish I had!
