Wow.

I love hardware and this writeup has a whole lotta love. Nice to see so many production/GT500 parts in use.

A few questions. I know Buddy Bar does casting work for Whipple. Did they do the lower manifold used in this application?

What is triggering the intercooler pump to go on in this application as the PCM wouldn't be doing it (as for example it does on a GT500 via a temperature programmed in the tune). Is it simply triggered by a temperature sensor? And lastly, in this photo I get the idea that this blower is a FRPP piece...

But it isn't, correct? It's a Lethal only offering at this point, no?

Now that makes sense.

Had I a Raptor I'd definitely be considering each one of the additions you covered in this thread. That blower is a beautiful piece and the supporting hardware looks to be first rate. Sure would have been nice if FRPP would have picked this one up and added it to their catalog but Raptor owners should be thankful for the effort Jared and Whipple have put forth here.

Glad to see they went with a Whipple over a turbo kit. The hellion kit is pretty badass, but I'd rather my truck have lots of low end power and instant torque throughout the powerband.
