Whipple tuned..and I am finally done (almost)

Finally had the time to finish putting the car together - Changed the Facsia(Shelby), Hood, welded up a couple of holes on the fenders left by the GT emblems and added the Pony Spoiler - Car looks very ominous now. At the same time I decided to take the plunge and install a Whipple. Once it was done we added a band-aid tune from my Predator to get it to my buddy's shop....the band-aid tune produced 463hp/440tq right as I pulled in. We made a couple of changes and got it to a nice & safe 475hp/445tq....Couldn't be happier with the car now.

Whipple is definitly fun...but the drive by wire accelerator is going to take some getting used to now that it want to hit boost instantly when I press on the gas...

Going to put on my HPM LCA's and should be done for a bit.
Once it quits raining - I'll take some pictures and post.

Take care - Rob

Dam man, that looks real sharp!!! What kind of hood is that?

Edit- through on some painted mirror covers and that thing looks complete...

Yeah - I thought about the mirror covers...maybe over the winter as this thing is getting ready to go to sleep for the Snowy months. May do some additional addon's under the hood.

The hood is a replica Cobra R... I just wanted to try something different instead of all the usual suspects.

I've been looking at that hood for a while now. Do you have a picture looking out from the drivers seat?

No - but if your 'vertically challenged' don't get it! I'm 6'2"...so it's not an issue....and I had a 4" cowl on my racecar so I am somewhat used to it.

If I get some time - I'll take a picture for you.
