Mods include:
Brand New Gen2 2.3L Whipple:beer:
3.20" RR upper / stock lower (roughly 16lbs)
JLT RAI
SCT-2400
Accufab SBTB
S.D. 60# Injectors
KB B.A.P.
Xcal2

Tune date won't be for another few weeks cause of my work schedule:xpl:

What are estimated numbers?!? I'm hoping for around 580rwhp!!

And for those who have installed there 2.3's and can answer this for me.... Where does this extra vacuum line go to? Anything? There are 4 vacuum lines coming off the back of the whipple and only 3 were used, as far as I know anyways:shrug:

blower swap took around 4 hours (taking our time) and also we had to remove it to get a dang injector harness plugged in under the plenum... but it went very smoothly

the following day we installed the b.a.p. which took about 2 hours taking our time there as well

There should be an image in the back of your owners manual that clearly indicates the vacuum line connections.

Did you do the EGR delete also? It will help you get rid of that hornet's nest of stuff on the driver's side of the blower...
