Here you have pretty much a fullweight truck with all amenities/stereo inside, running better than any other before it, all s/c, regardless of weight reduction, etc. Vinnie what exactly is the curb weight on that thing, and what psi is this at?
Moved the front part of the bar up to the frame (deleted the bracket) making it more of a lift type bar then just preventing wheel hop.

My truck has never been known for being light. Even with everything out I still have the T.V/Radio., Amps, All the billet (I have a lot and it adds up), expy center console, PS2, 6 disc cd player and always run with my powercooler full, Heavy *** shaker hood, etc.. I do not think I have ever been under 4700 w/ me in it. If so , not by much.
Although I do take stuff off my L for a #. I have other stuff on.

Between 21-22 PSI.

I always have wondered why those front brackets hang so low. I think that the bracket should be much smaller, but i guess there isn't a whole lot you can do to mount a little teeny bracket, aside from welding it in. How did you mount it to the frame? Any chance of a pic?

This is a dyno graph which has Vinnies truck before the Whipple (with KB) and with the Whipple. Difference in the engine and mods is nothing besides 2 1/2" to 3" Exhaust.



This is what the full 3" exhaust system added....15/8" to 13/4" stepped Long tubes, to 3" midpipes, and 3" catback with 3" x pipe. These gains were minimal but we were looking for all the power we could gather up. If installed on a truck making say 600 HP gains would be near 0 HP and actually lose torque.

When will the Madness end.. Hey Vin Man , that 104 Million dollar lottery money should be running out very soon .. With all this racing , you might have to go out and find a JOB !!! Must be nice not having to work and race 4 times a week.. Just keep paying those taxes, my income depends on it!!!

PS: if you ever break a Federal law { Like no one cheats on their income taxes } If you make it down to Fairton.. I'll give you a job in the Powerhouse for 12 cents and hour + a 50% bonus if you really try hard!!! Forget Fort Dix , that place is falling down!!! Yea I'm jealous what about it!!!

Oh don't worry, they will be released, very, very soon. Kits are shipping next week. We are fulfilling back orders for most of December, but the system is released and ready, SC's have been the hold up for a very long time, but that problem has been solved. We are still limited on staff, as we struggled to make ends meet, but were doing our best to get these new products out, please read the link below....
