2018 5.0 Whipple numbers straight from Whipple.

Just stupid things like putting the blower pulley on but then you have to take it off to put the idler plate on...won’t fit otherwise. Hoses not labeled worth a damn...wound just test fitting and figuring out most of those. My heat exchanger has one 5/8 hose barb instead of the 3/4 it should have...had to rig up a reducer and get some 5/8” hose to make it work. New IC pump barely fits the bracket...it’s much shorter. Several hoses and electrical connections that could have been made before the blower was set into place then had to be made under the blower snout later. Plus a ton more fun things we figured out as we went.
I’m up and running but I’m done with it this week. I have something weird happening...possibly the TB electronics. I’ll dive in again this weekend.

Well from emails to them their instructions are wrong about something else too. Instructions say the kits are based off 600hp and if you want 624 to 640 you need a fuel booster and over 670 you need bigger injectors in emails they told me that the kits come with the required injectors.

Whoever writes their manual does have an issue with attention to detail. This is the cover of the 2018 manual I just downloaded from their site.
Note: The year is wrong on the last update.....(I hope)
