Thanks!

I really enjoy doing this stuff. There is some kind of supplemental warranty Wipple offers. I have no idea what it involves.

Put these in tonight. Figured now they kind of apply.

You have no idea. The beauty of the Whipple is its 100% reversible, if for whatever reason you want to return the truck to stock. The only part that got cut was one heater hose, and a pcv hose. Probably about $20 worth of parts max. No cutting, grinding or drilling.

I'm charging up the Action Cam now, to maybe make a run out to the farm tomorrow morning. Need to get it mounted better this time so it doesn't have all that vibration.

Mike, are you planning on a custom dyno tune to really get it dialed in?

I don't think so, it has plenty of power to my liking. The Whipple tune is conservative and safe. It actually has so much power on a WOT run on the 35" tires are a bit scary. Perhaps on smaller street tires the extra power could be utilized.

I went out the farm and he was irrigating. So no video today.

My local strip has test and tune tomorrow evening but temps will be in the 90s and I have yet to connect up and monitor, various PIDs as I should.
