Default dragon race engineering whipple?
Just wondering if anybody has yet to see/experience the new 1000m 3.3l whipple kit made by dragon race engineering?

Fits under stock hood, without modifications:

It's the intercooler hose to the core inside the manifold.

They do offer an intercooled kit for the fbody that does fit under the stock hood with no cutting.

If you look on the back side and follow that other black hose you will see the hose with a pump or check valve running alittle farther to the right. That is for the coolant for the A2W.
