.....a Whipple. I know this topic has been discussed before but I have a dilemma. Buy little things, like wheels, CAI, HID's, various appearance mods, or save up for a Whipple. I know they go for around 5k, but what are the other modifications that go along with it (clutch? flywheel?). Anyone who went through a SC addition care to tell me the total cost of it, including install plus other items. (I would probably go with the non-intercooled version)
Thanks.

 

New internals if you want to kick the boost up, I would definatly upgrade at least the front brakes, and mod the suspension to handle the power a little better (springs, struts, swaybars)

 

I probably wouldnt go higher than 10 psi.

 

You will need rear suspension upgrades to make effective use of the extra horsepower. You will likely experience wheel hop without. Lower control arms and possibly an upper control arm should take care of it. Budget 150-400 dollars parts plus installation (1-3 hours).

So in other words, you cant go FI for under about 7 grand?

 

You don't have to do everything all at once. If you take it relatively easy and keep the psi reasonable you can do the blower first and do the upgrades as the budget allows. It will be difficult not to drive it hard with the new found power!
