Whipple install - day 2

Well here is the progress made today. Still feel like crap so I'm taking it easy. I went outside today and notied that the battery terminal had fallen back onto the post so I went ahead and zip tied that sucker out of the way this time.
The paint I used on the valve covers is indeed Duplicolor ceramic engine enamel in Ford dark blue color (#DE1606).
The biggest pain so far is the water crossover. The instructions are very vague on which bolts to use and it is impossible to torque the inner bolts down without "modifying" an allen wrench
I have to call Whipple tomorrow, there is no mention of the computer removal and reflash in the entire instruction book.

Did the kit come with a chip or a programmer? Easy as pie either way. Just get all the kit installed first...
