Supercharger done, backfiring? UPDATE- She's Blown

[BLOWN454]

Looks like it fits right in!!
Any clearance issues?

How'd you ever find one? I tried searching eBay for Whipple and Magnacharger, but all that comes up is stuff for Mustangs.

I'm not familiar with the BBC intakes, but is that a stock intake or did it come with the Whipple?

I told myself if I ever found a kit on ebay for the right price I would pick it up and one day I just happened to be playing around and one came up when I searched for it. Took some tuition money and hit the buy it now button. The only clearance issues I had were with the factory tensioner pulley, the supercharger belt would rub against it and cut a groove into the plastic casing, so I bought a lower profile Dayco one and then I realized it was skinnier but it had the metal inner spring exposed out the top to hold the spring tight and it was touching the idler pulley above it so I had to sawzall it a little and grind it down but now it seems to be fine. The intake is the factory one, usually you can't see it because of the ugly factory intake resonator that I tossed as soon as I got an aftermarket intake and now obviously not with the whipple kit.

Thanks for the info! Glad you found the Dayco pulley that you needed.
I didn't know they put that big of a resonator on the BBC that it covered the entire thing up.

Well its not really that big but it just takes the eyes away from the actual intake. Heres what it looked like 5 years ago when I first started driving.
