A buddy and I are going to do a 2.9 Whipple install. Can I use stock supercharger gasket or do I need a new one?
2.9 Whipple install questions?

Awesome thanks Tob!
Step 37 in the included FRPP/Whipple instructions does indeed say...
I'd be sure to address the recesses on the bottom blower face that were countersunk so that the blower-to-baseplate fasteners wouldn't project above the face. This creates a potential void where each fastener is located. Make sure you place a dab of silicone at each of these locations.
Here's the writeup I did here on SVTP. http://www.svtperformance.com/forum...P-Whipple-kit-content-and-install-on-09-GT500
Correct. You can leave the stock gasket in place, but you'll also need to add some black RTV around the seal. And a big word to the wise, DO NOT remove the driver side fuel rail if you have the Crusher inlet on your new Whipple! It will be a massive, massive pain getting it back on. Just remove the passenger side rail and flip it out of the way to the driver side. Good luck with the EGR tube, too. Install the bottom side first LOOSELY then maneuver the top into place and loosely attach it. Also, I recommend ordering the EGR solenoid extension cable from VMP. It's like $20. It'll make your life easier. It wasn't on the market when I installed mine, and it was a pain getting the solenoid plugged back in because the cable isn't long enough.

Thanks. Those pics really help.
Ok thanks I will order one.
What kind of hp should I expect from a 2.9 Whipple with 3.0 pulley, 168mm Whipple mono blade, 127 JLT intake, ID1000s, KB boost a pump, off rode x-pipe and HE?
Over 700 rwhp on a Mustang Dyno and over 725 rwhp on a Dyno Jet at sea level.

That's awesome. That is what I am hoping for. I also am running the same plugs and a 170* thermostat.
VMP and lethal have never heard of this part?

What size pulley comes on the stock FRP Whipple 2.9? 3.5?
3.0" pulley for 17-18 psi at sea level.
Can someone please tell me if Whipple should have provided a new EGR tube?
I reused my stock tube.
How did you get it to fit?
To clarify - if the kit you now have was originally an FRPP/Whipple kit then it should have come with an EGR tube. If the Whipple you have was purchased individually then I'd venture to guess that it did not.
The FRPP/Whipple tube is a slightly tweaked stock piece as best I could tell.
It is very similar to the OEM tube. If my original was brand new I don't think many would be able to detect a difference.
I had the whipple tube and it was a pita! It needed to be tweaked to fit so you might as well tweak the stock one.
