    Whipple Super charger

    I have a line on a whipple for 5.7 vortec. Asking price is $600.00 down from $800.00 I would maybe pay $500.00. I have a a 1998 K1500 178,000 miles. What are the thoughts about this? Should it be sent off for refurb? Should I install on my original motor or rebuild? I have not bought it or have...

    Look at my oil leak.

    Did I use the correct gasket if i used the gasket in the middle on the right when replacing my stock oil filter adapter gasket? I ask because it blocked part of the adapter but thought I remember tjat is the way the OE was installed

    Look at my oil leak.

    Thanks for all of the replies. I am going to start tearing into it today. I will figure it out as I go along. Probably with more questions and photos.

    Look at my oil leak.

    I need to investigate some more because I may be mistaken. The only way for me to do the straight down filter is to do away with the cooler lines correct? I am IFS

    Look at my oil leak.

    I need to get this on video because it just leaks oil right from the holes in the aluminum end. I want to do the oil filter mod and something else besides these factory oil drain lines. I know I have replaced one maybe both of these lines before and how they leak at either end but this is crazy.

    MPFI conversion all the way down?

    Also oil the ring gasket that goes around the MPI. It helps it slip down better.

    The box on the fire wall is the cruise control brain.

    Why do I sound like a turbo when I mash the gas? It always has.

    1998 k1500 5.7 vortec pinging no codes

    I have thought it may be a rattle but have since ruled that out just because. I will need to try the power brake and load to see if it does it under that condition. I thought it was rattling valves or a broken valve spring but not any more. I am glad you can hear it. I uploaded from my phone...

    1998 k1500 5.7 vortec pinging no codes

    I mean just tuned up with new ignition components. No Dyno no altered computer. I couple of the plugs had excessive carbon but I had a bad cat and O2 sensor so I know it was running rich at the time.

    1998 k1500 5.7 vortec pinging no codes

    A mechanic set the timing after I did all of the wrenching. My scanner will not tell me the timing. I just turned 170,000. The original fuel pump died at 168,500 I wish the noise was better heard in the video. It can be heard real good at the beginning but it is there through the entire video.
