I can't go into to many details, but by April of 2005, Lysholm was over 3000 units back ordered with no schedule, no build plan, no recover plan, no future production goal and zero information. What transpired was incredibly bad business. It began in May of 2004 and got to a severely critical level in November of 2004, but problems were supposedly handled by Jan. When time came around, we received 10 sc's, 5, 7, etc. which was simply not enough. There wasn't even enough for warranty replacements, repairs, etc. We were forced into a very bad situation. Customers got very angry, both potential and current, we lost an incredible amount of sales, employee's, contracts, marketing and advertising chances, money for R&D, etc.

We filed a lawsuit in June of 2005 for breach of contract, failure to deliver and a few other things. They admitted that they screwed up during a meeting in June 2005 but still could not provide a schedule, plan or anything. Was there going to be 10, 500, 1000, didn't know and that was not acceptable. We were already in the red, how could you continue losing money if you had no idea about the future?

Some of the things that happenned reached an incredible low and very bad business. Since we were the company that got them started (we were their first customer and left another partnership to be with them) and the company that created the market, you think they would do everything they can to help. We did nothing wrong, just ordered and forecasted as previous.

Hope this adds a bit of insight into what really went down.

Thanks,
Dustin

It does add some light on things now and hopefully you'll have my 2 systems ready soon for my 525's.Call me with any info on them when you can 540-226-2814 or 540-400-5536 thanks Richard.

Re: NEW Whipple SC's?
 

Just remember that were still short handed so email is by far the best way to get ahold of me, whether it's orders or questions.

We do have 8.1L/GMC, in fact we could ship it next week if you ordered first thing monday.

Thanks,
Dustin

Re: NEW Whipple SC's?

Re: NEW Whipple SC's?
 

does that mean you will be building SC systems for the Merc 525 again? What kind of delivery time?

Re: NEW Whipple SC's?
 

Great news that you're back in busines, Dustin!!!!

What about HP500-Carb motors? How much height do they add? Horsepower? Price? Lead time for a pair?


Thanks,
Jeff

Re: NEW Whipple SC's?
 

Glad to hear things are getting back on track....Keep up the good work.

Re: NEW Whipple SC's?
 

CONGRATS DUSTIN, :drink: HOPE TO TALK TO YOU SOON, I HAVE 3 CUSTOMERS CHOMPIN AT THE BIT AND ITS WINTER HERE FOR 4 MORE MONTHS. :evilb:

Re: NEW Whipple SC's?
 

My question exactly....how long after all the backorders are filled and when will new orders be filled? I need one for an HP 525.

Re: NEW Whipple SC's?
 

Simple question.... If SC supply was an issue, why no response on reprograming 496 ECU's? Quick cash, minimal COS....?

Thanks

Re: NEW Whipple SC's?
 

Not sure about the question. SC supply was an issue, and we do recalibrate 496 PCM's. There is by no means enough money to pay the salaries of 35 employee's, or even mine :D

We pay a lisc. fee for every flash, so it's not cheap for us or the customer. We do our best, but it's not really a big $$ maker.

As for 525 kits, we should have them in stock around Jan. but it's best to get all orders in before that if you want them. Our marine sales pick up around Jan. and normally we can't keep up when we have a full staff. So were gearing up, but I know I'm going to be working some serious OT :eek:

Jeff,
The 500HP carb system won't be available until mid Jan to early Feb. We have a few different systems, but they will add 3-5" depending on what system. HP will range from 700-750 depending on stage. Price range is $6600-$8500 depending on stage and finish.
Thanks,
Dustin
