Default Sneak peak of the Whipple install

Well still waiting on an LS3 MAF connection to get her running (any day now)
Lowered the rad about 2" to get the intake to fit.
But she's all buttoned up waiting on the connector.

Any chance you can detail the other work that needed to be done to get this to fit?

Install intercooler and pump
Relocate power steering resevior
Lower the rad
Cut a hole to relocate air filter
Little odds and ends here and there.

LOL yellow wasn't my first choice, but I'm kinda digging it.
I have one size smaller pulley for future mods.
There is one size bigger pulley available than the one I have installed.

It's in the casting, so no dice. It's actually because the whole blower is upside down.

O well... with as much power as it adds I'm sure it won't bother you too much.

I have a buddy coming down today he's going to template some custom FRC's.
He has access to a bending brake. I'll be most likely going with a polished or brushed aluminum. I have some raised Corvette Ls2 stickers to apply to them, it should finnish off the engine bay nicely and hide some of the wiring.

Looks sick! The yellow reminds me of a caterpillar engine though. Is this on stock motor? What kind of numbers are you looking to put down?

Dig the yellow! All those guys putting Z06 covers on their motors clearly have the wrong mod...

Any pics of the hood clearancing?
I don't see the computer, did you just move it a little?

Mine is going on this weekend (fingers crossed). I'm also waiting on the MAF connector.
