Whipple Charged 97 Yukon

Thought I would start a thread for my Yukon, I just picked it up on Oct 31st. It's had a bit of a rough and uncared for life, but I plan on bringing it all back with a little TLC. Current mods is an Air Raid Intake, Catless exhaust dumped at the rear axle, headers, and the whipple supercharger.

As it sits right now....

New parts getting ready to go on.

Pic of Installed grille and headlights...and a dirty ass engine bay.

More pics of dirty ass engine bay...for those that wanted engine pics...lol

After the water pump install and a little cleaning. Still needs more, but it definitely is looking better. Don't mind the overflow tank, I have a new one on order...

I believe that happened when the previous owner rear ended someone. I'll definitely be putting pics up when finished. I'll add some of the engine bay too once it's all cleaned up.

Yeah, I enjoy working on them for the most part. Overall it really isn't in too bad of shape, just the front, hood, and the interior is quite dirty.

Well, I was impatient and installed everything tonight to include the 6K HIDs I had laying around. Pics will be up later.

Well, now I am in the midst of replacing the waterpump. Stopped at a gas station up from my house this morning and came out to antifreeze pouring out from the bottom. Everything I have read pointed to the waterpump, so I bought a new and went to town....lol Now I've run into a snag of trying to get the fan off the pulley. Can't break the bolt loose. On a brighter side this gives me a chance to clean everything up a little better...lol

Finished up the water pump install this afternoon and then took advantage of things being apart to do a little cleaning. Still needs more, but it's definitely looking better.

Pic added to first post.

how did the hids turn out?

 

[rushr]

I haven't really gotten to test them out at night. They seem like they will do pretty nice, but I'm sure not as well as having projectors. I need to disable the DRLs so they don't run all the time.

Everybody ive known that had projectors they sucked , and everyone ive talked to said they would never get them again i currently have blacked out headlight on my 97 tahoe and had 8k 35 watt hid but its not even enough light than with the stock foggy headlights, so im about to order next week some 55watt 10k since they say 8k 55watt are equivalent to 6k 35 watt in color. i hope they work good. thats sick u have a whipple i wish i could afford a power adder that much !
