LS6 Whipple neaaaarly done... Well, it took 2 days and 500 trips to the auto parts store, but it's FINALLY almost done.
Started with a somewhat incomplete Dragon Racing Whipple kit, and pieced together the missing pieces as I went along. I'm on a stock bottom end, so for now I'm going to stop at only 7-8 psi, hopefully make ~550 RWHP, and that should hold together fine until I have the money for a bottom end. The kits have made +1000HP, so I have PLENTY of room to grow.
I still need an LS3 harness, waiting on that one piece in the mail and then I can get her tuned!
Sorry, just crummy phone pics for now.

This is twice I had to read about a whipple supercharger. Damn you people 
So, I take it you're going to want to donate that "old" magnacharger to somebody in socal, eh? he he...I wish I could go with a blower, but I'm lucky to afford the little things right now; maybe someday though!
btw - I notice it sits pretty low, so assuming there is no intercooler? If not, were you planning on running some sort of water or meth injection? I suppose at only 7 psi or so may not make a huge issue, but sure would be cool to have a good amount of boost and keep the temps down!

The 4.38 pulley he sent me doesn't even have bolt holes like the 4 1/2" I have on there now. I'm not even sure it will work I may have to give him a call too.

I'm hoping 1 mm isn't going to be a problem, I'm going for a tune on Weds.
I too have the middle option 6 rib pulley and it's 4.5", the other 3.38" pulley I have, I'm not even sure is the right pulley for our set up.
