Is it important at all to upgrade your water pump or starter with a whipple 2.3?

Water pump & starter
- Thread starter gotjack
- Start date
No, no need to fix things if they are not broken
If it ain’t broke….
I ran the stock starter in my 01 even when it had a big bore stroker and F1A. These starters are strong.
Having said that…I did replace my starter but my transmission was out to do a clutch so I replaced it. Some things I do recommend replacing if “you are already in there”. But for a blower swap, neither of those parts have to come off so leave them if their aren’t broke.
Ok cool thanks guys. Of course i did the bigger alternator upgrade but questioned myself with the other things

By the way, an aftermarket k member makes a starter swap a 15 min job.
I thought of doing a k member but I would have to replace springs and struts with coil overs no? Heard coil overs are noisy so I stayed away since it’s just a summer weekend car

Meh, that stuff is all opinion. Once you start going down that rabbit hole suspension wise, everything gets noisy.
The pros surely outweigh the cons.

Trust me I’ve been tempted to go all out on suspension good thing it’s in storage for winter

Like anything it depends on what you buy. I hear my coilovers pulling into some driveways. I'm usually at a decent angle because of the low life. Outside of that I don't here anything. My buddy with Vikings says his are pretty quiet too.
There are a couple K members that let you keep the stock spring though.

Off the top of my head BMR and AJE have set ups that use the stock spring style.
Awesome I was eyeing the bmr front control arms looks like it will go good with the k member you just got me to waste more money on the car haha

Lol. If I was totally selfish I'd talk you into going with coilovers so I could sell you the BMR control arms I have in the garage.
Haha I see lmr has the combo with the k member and control arms. I might just do that if I do k member. Will match the red springs and sway bar. But it’s just a street summer car. Will I noticy improvement in handling?

Drastic night and day difference. Don’t forget the steering rack bushings and sway bar end links and bump steer kit and da da da da da da da, lol
Yes you will. Getting rid of all the rubber bushings makes a difference. I think the poly steering rack bushings go well with the BMR set up. That's what we did on my buddies car and he loves it. Plus there's the added perk of working clearance with the tubular K member.
JMO, but skip the bump steer kit.
