I will be going at it in my garage, having a friend to come help actually get the blower on the motor though.

 

Hey where did you get those brackets and spacers????

 

Make sure the beer is near!
Me and my buddy had the damndest time with getting my Whipple compressor lined up for the mounting bolts. I must have held that focker in place for at least 10 minutes (in 2 minute intervals) before we got it right. You will see that it is WELL worth it to do it yourself; that way, you know what is what and where it goes from install day until forever. good luck and have fun!

 

No does the Radix shorten the life of your 5.3??

 

thanks for the hook up brian and if anyone else needs them, PM me for the contact info, from what I understand they are kinda hard to get ahold of

I tried to take the pictures so everyone could see the size and shape so they could make their own if they needed to. They are also twice as thick as the ones that come in the kit

Yeah, I'm honestly pretty excited about the install, I'll admit its probably the biggest project thats taken place in my garage, and I agree that its best to know exactly how everything went on and how it all works.

 

at the price he is selling them for, I would not waste my time makeing them!

 

The RADIX is stupidly simple. I was ashamed at even thinking about having it done before. You shouldn't have any problems with anything since you have the 03 with the electronic throttle body, no wires to extend on the IAC and TPS sensor connector.

Read the boox several times .... then go at it. If all else fails ... we will be around to help you out.

 

I wish I could get mine on that quick. It's been here for 6 weeks and it will be about 8 more before it goes on the new 5.7.

 

thanks alot for the support, you guys have already helped me out more than I could ask for

I've read through the instructions about 5 times just to make sure I have everything (I finally found a inch-lbs wrench ) and to be honest it seems very simple and straight forward, I'm not worried about the install at all, but I will still be nervous the first time I turn the key after its all put in

 

Do you have AutoTap or something like that?

I think I forgot the MAP sensor and the ECT sensor the second time around.
