Congrats man.. be patient and deals pop up.
I bought my blower a year ago in August and did not have it on the car until December!
It's a long wait, but good luck

 

[gabe1530]

exactly. im def looking for the deals and am going to take my time!

 

[gabe1530]

got my maf in today. also bought some 80lb injectors from the same guy who sold me the whipple so they should be arriving at the same time next week.

sweet ...got all my stuff here as well.:beer:

 

[gabe1530]

thanks guys!
im at a dilema now with the fuel system.

im thinking about getting either lethals duel pump or triple pump return system.
i want to run e85 down the road when there are more pumps here in cali and the max im looking for is 700 (with e85).
will the duel pump return system with 80lb injectors cover that?

i also cant decide if i want to stick with my jlt cai. i really like the oem look with the stock inlet tube - maf - k&n fpk.
or should i say screw it and get a high boost?

if you are serious about running e85, you should go for the triple pump set up - it would suck to go dual pumps only to have it right on the lower edge of what you need. - i am not planning on e85 and went for the dual pumps and 63#ers....we'll see how it goes on the dyno

small update:
a lot is starting to arrive.
2.9 arrived (im out of town in nor cal with family)
80lb injectors ^^ same
mac longtubes will arrive next week. picked em up for 2 bills shipped so im not complaining.
vrs o/r x on the way.
billetflow tb on the way.
got some mm c/c plates coming as well.
3.75 pulley on the way directly from whipple. now i need to figure out the correct belt size for all this... will be using the full BF idler kit.

im probably going to drop a shit ton more into this just because i got my tax return as well.
going to get some nt05r's, twin disc clutch, 26 spline, areoforce dual band gauges, reische 170 t-stat, head cooling mod... etc.

i go on my leave block for the month of june and im hoping i can get everything installed and tuned by or near the end. we shall see. new pics will come when i get back to socal.

twin pumps will support alot of HP but with E85 u will def need triple pumps and a triple fpdm setup. Your setup look's alot like mine minus boost you will be running...with 17#'s u should see 600-620hp/540tq thats alot of fun and fast for a street car to have....@ 21#'s is where you will see the 2.9 start to shine though.

 

[gabe1530]

some goodies arrived. 2.9, 80's, mm c/c plates (not pictured)

 

[cbr repsol]

nice ....cant wait to install it for you.:beer:
