Vernon,
i posted the parts over at the diesel place but so far there have only been a few inquiries via PM nothing real serious. Here is the post.....

For you i will make better deals if you're interested in the stuff. I would imagine you would be interested in the following:
-Radiator
-upper and lower radiator shroud
-oil cooler, oil cooler lines, custom oil cooler brackets
-custom lower radiator hose with brass tee's included (for the fill tank and heater hose)
-custom upper radiator hose
-3" piping with t-bolt clamps
-custom intake adapter (points towards the passenger side)
-custom whipple discharge adapter (points towards the drivers side)
I think thats everything. I wont charge you for the blood sweat and tears on all that stuff either....lol. If you want it, it sure will save you a lot of time, you gotta promise if you get it to work you wont tell me....
. Take it over to PM if your interested in the stuff Vernon and we can work something out.

Linda I am sorry I put you through the trouble of doing the test on your system.
from the way you talked about it being less power, higher times, and lower boost numbers I thought you were bleeding off some where in your system.
I know when I sealed mine up it was like everyone else stated, a difference between night and day, more torque and more power from the cooler air.
i am glad everything was sealed but i am also wondering what took away 2 psi and lowered your horse power and torque.

Well i am none intercooled again.... 
. And if i didnt have bad luck, i would have none at all...LOL. I snapped the stud off in the manifold that holds the intake adapter (or throttle body on non F/I vehicles). That was a joy drilling that out and re-tapping it. Had to go 1/4-28 cause the easy-out wouldnt pull the 6mm stud out. After 3 hours of that fun, i got everything together and i am just waiting on the top and bottom radiator hoses to come in and i will be done. Then the search begines for the Whipple I/C. I really hope i can find a used one for a reasonable price. Been looking forever and i have never found one without the blower with it. If anyone can find a used and complete 8.1L whipple intercooler for less than $900, i will give you $100 finders fee... 
. well, at least cooler weather is on the way, so the need for an intercooler wont be as great until next year. Maybe i will get EfiLive first and try my hand at some tuning before i get the I/C.....dunno, guess i will wait to see what comes along. The great saga has ended.......
