[QUOTE="SCGallo2, post: 14208734, member: 160791"] I used permatex gray rtv. Be sure to fill the hex head bolts on the bottom of the blower plate first, then a nice bead around the factory blower/intake gasket to prevent boost leaks. Torque to spec and allow to cure overnight. Stock belt will work fine with 3" pulley. I installed a double bearing 90mm aux idler pulley after thinking I was experiencing belt slip at high rpm. The aux idler is recommended by Ford Racing/Whipple install instructions for stock belt and 3" and smaller pulley. I have stock exhaust with exception of Borla S axle-backs, so no experience with headers, but once the Whipple is on, firewall clearance is minimum, so I would install the headers first. I did have my clutch replaced after Whipple install, so some cars may have more firewall clearance than others. My car dyno'd at 683/644 WHP/TQ on 93 octane street tune. It's a good weekend project, enjoy! [/QUOTE]
