Ok,

it's a done deal. My car is at ST Motorsports getting Whippled. I should have my new beast by tomorrow night!!!

I'm getting the HO kit with 10psi pulley. Adam assures me that he will give me a safe, conservative tune.

I'll be sure to post pics!

 

Welcome to the Club.

 

10 psi is safe on the stock internals?

 

Congratulations...

I see a lot of people getting Supercharged. I have only seen one with a problem. I am like many, would Love one but, not sure what if any problems to expect. Also, they are a few $$$ I do not have for this mod at this time.

As time goes on I am sure we will see if there are any problems. Again, congratulations and keep us informed...

 

with the tune from Whipple / Ford Racing, yes its safe. Only a custom tune from a tuner is required if your car is not BONE stock (Long tube headers, off road pipe, cams, etc.)

 

Congrats Rob!! You'll need to start joining us at the tracks now. And tell Adam I said Hi (and he still owes me a phone call )

 

Sure, man. I'll say hi for ya...

as for hitting the track, I need some better tires now! My street tires ain't gonna cut it!

Hey, do you know what Adam charges for a motor build?

 

Congradulations man , Adam almost got me to pull the trigger a couple of week's ago but i'm not quite ready yet.

 

Pic's, we've seen enough pic's, let's get some vid's of this monster J/K............not really

 

Adam rocks I have personally seen his wifes car run at the track with a Whipple. That car hauls A**. You will be veryyy happy. Congrats

 

Excellent, Rob! Would like to see some vids as well.

 

thanks, Bill!

Grrr,

talked to ST this morning. They don't have the blower in yet! It hasn't been delivered. Looks like either tomorrow night or Friday til I get my ride back. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

 

Hey Rob,
There is nobody that knows better than Don W. what Adam charges for a motor build. But ...tread lightly in this area. It's only been a yr. since Don W. had no choice but to build a new motor... If it were me it would still be like an open wound given the circumstances around why he had to rebuild. I still feel your pain Don.
Scott

 

Yah, I know. That sure sucked for Don. But he sure has one hell of a beast now.

 

haha, now you know how I felt....

i had 2 boxes delivered. the one box that delivered on the first day was just the parts, not the blower, LOL. i was sooo itchin! following day, blower showed up!

 

That is impossible to answer. It all depends on what parts you decide to use, and how extreme you want to get. And machine shop costs will vary depending on what block you use.


Thanks Scott, but I've pretty much recovered from that whole experience. I just looked at it as an opportunity to build the car I really wanted. And so far, so good. I have over 8,000 miles (and 275 runs) on the new combination, and I'm having a great time.

 

Hey Don,
I still feel your pain from last year. I for one am just glad you you came back to TMS and bless us with your drag race vids.
Scott

 

congrats, you're gonna love it!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks Scott. And I'm glad at least one person (besides Donna & me) watches those videos! haha.

 

(edit) sorry wrong thread.
