I'm now forced to hate you because I want one so badly! Of course I'm kidding, that looks like too much fun. I want one. The power must be a real kick, and the cool factor just ices the cake. Did I mention that I want one?

She looks great! Glad I was able to help you. More so last year then this year. But that's due to a new job and girlfriend. Regardless love helping and really glad to see this one come together.

I'm extremely pleased with all the power! My truck has been like a damn carnival ride lately with people wanting to feel the pull.. The best thing I can say is that it literally feels like the factory spec'd and created this kit. It feels like the blower always belonged under the hood in the first place....
I've been too busy to decommission my truck for some tidying, but I do need to do it.. I have one pulley with a bad bearing on it and unfortunately its on the whipple supplied manual tensioner pulley.. Whipple wants $120 (with robs discount!) to send me just a new pulley which is outrageous, so I'm going to rebuild it once I find the bearing.. Do you happen to know the part# on the bearing? I'm trying to avoid pulling it apart and I'm hoping when I do I can just have the bearing ready to install..
I need this bearing^^ ?

No dyno pulls yet but I do have some videos. I need to upload them to YouTube when I get a spare minute. I'm hoping to borrow my friends go pro to get some better footage....
I'm not in a rush to get to a dyno, the day and the temperature can literally make a 40-50 hp difference.. I drove the truck at around 58 degrees the other night, and she felt like she had a additional 40 hp and could have even potentially put out more.. Varying ambient Temperatures when compressing air and cooling it makes it hard to nail down exactly what you got for power at any given point.... I know seeing the ability regularly cool the air charge down to around 18 degrees above ambient with the new heat exchanger.
