How long have you had the boxed 3.0 Whipple?
What did you do for your Terminator today?

Not long I’d say 4 days. I’ll take it off your hands and rebuild it. It’s toast.
Kidding, you should be good man. If it’s brand new the oil should be fine for a long time.
New whipples ship with no oil, any least mine ( bought used, never installed) did with a sticker on it saying you need to add oil before operation.
Crap like 2yrs. I already have a 2.9 on it so the gain for all the work is questionable.

Sell it and buy some ARs. We will need guns more than a fast car here soon.
I doubt there will be anything wrong with it, install it, fill it with the right fluids and send it
I would keep you car just as it is
It's very easy to go down that rabbit hole with these cars. I almost did myself, but I had to take a step back and think about what I really wanted. I prefer a driver, with minimal to no issues and reliability
Yep. My car has been trouble free really. To some I suppose it’s heavily modded but it just works.

Yeah, it's a Mark 8 fan. As far as I know it's still the go to. I tried the Contour fans but there were clearance issues.

MK 8 fans are supposed to pull more cfm, so should be better. The GT and Cobra fans are identical, I have one of each, GT one is a backup just incase.
No pic no proofCleaned it up for a show tomorrow.
I’m going from a 2.9 to a 3.0, I’ll let you know if it’s worth it
I agree to a point, i went down that rabbit hole, always searching for a little more power which is relatively easy with these cars. However during the summer i do like to race mine on occasions, at the T&T nights. Which of course with more power more problems so everytime i broke something i replaced it with an upgrade.
However i always reminded my tuner that driveability is important to to me due to the distance we drive (1.5hrs) to go racing. My car feels very driveable with nice weather i take it to work at least 2x a week. HELL I'm more concern over the car getting dirty or hitting a pothole.
My buddy went from a standard 2.9 to the 3.0. He said it’s absolutely not worth the cost. I think he picked up 60rwhp at 1lb of boost less than the 2.9
It made sense for me going from a 2.3 to the 3.0

If I were racing it might make sense, but considering maybe did 100 miles in 2023, not so much.
Guess it goes up on here and FB and here
