Me and a friend had about 12 hours all in. Could have been a couple less of Whipple’s instructions weren’t wrong on about 10 points and other info not as clear as it could have been. Then my heat exchanger had one 3/4 and one 5/8 hose barb instead of two 3/4’s. Had to make a parts run for an adaptor just to get it on the road and drivable...I’ll have them send the right one on Monday.
Loaded the start up file and it fired up on the 3rd hit, idled for about 5 minutes then just died right as I was getting ready to catalog it. We said screw it and made some drinks. lol
I’m sure it’s something simple...gonna check fuses and electrical connections in the morning and start logging it once it’s running again.

Right now we’re thinking it’s a corrupt tune file. He’s rewriting it as I type. Everything else is good...triple checked all the electrical and when it’s idling it’s smooth as glass...it just dies when it gets up to temp. I just need it to run long enough to log it right now.

Clean, neat install. Engine bay looks great. That's the sign of a quality worker.

We’re running like a top now. My tuning issue was a bad MAP sensor. Put a new one in today and it’s running and driving perfect.
