Pretty big difference when you only have to turn it 45 over to get the same boost, about 300hp less power consumption and 60deg F cooler temp.

Just to be very clear, we ship standard kits in 3-5 days, and custom kits in 7-10 days. the only reason your kit was delayed is our IC mfg went AWOL. Now that we've invested in our own mfg'ing, thats not a problem. We can't control all our suppliers, but we do our best. I thought that was clear from the many conversations we had.
Any part that has a mfg'ing defect will be replaced at no charge within 1 year of ship date. thats our standard warranty. I think your refering to the idler pulley and the fact that somebody ground the spacer (on locating side) it runs on causing it to not run true. It is great to hear your delivery and production is now within a 10 day window. I also commend you on bringing the intercooler manufacturing within your control. As for the idler pulley great recall on the facts but for one point the idler pulley did not line up properly and the installer a [Whipple] dealer ground the wrong side not the customer. Thus, it was not anything I did and should have been covered especially since my delivery was delayed. I will say that despite our hiccups you do take the time to answer questions from your customers. It is not everyday that a principal of a company does a Q & A with their valued customers:drink:. Keep up the good work and your products will continue to be recommended by me to all my performance boating friends. KAP |

Hello Mr. Whipple:

KAP WOW who was the authorized whirple dealer/installer who did that ???? and you had to eat the cost Kap ???:evilb: |

Gotcha, I was mistaken and thought you already had one.
Interesting comparison we dyoned a 588 psi motor and a 598 whipple 980 blown motor, made within 10 hp of each other. same boost levels, timing etc |

It was an easy mistake he machined [better word] the front of the idler stand to align the belt properly. When in fact he should have machined the rear portion of the idler stand. When you machine the front the bearing/pulley will wobble and wear the idler stand down... when your really leaning on it. Whipple should have just said no charge on that as it was obvious the customer had nothing to do with the alteration. I am really happy with my set-up it puts out monster power rather easily. It sounds like a sewing machine at idle and a jet engine when you peg the boost gauge. KAP |

That's some pretty impressive #'s! Do you have any pics of your test model from your blower dyno or from spin testing?

That was a D rotor, which I sold and had to ship for the new buyer.

I loved my PSIs....
They only really make sense over 8 pounds of boost. I however am dying to see this new Whipple 10.5/12L....I'd like to build something big and I think this would be a killer combo! If I built anything again, I would go whipple hands down... |
