New Whipple Install! Only one issue!

So... I recently ditched my ProCharger setup after fighting for almost two months to find false knock. After a few weeks of driving around with a slow car I got the itch to get boost again and finally pulled the trigger on a Stage 2 Whipple Kit from Lethal Performance. I got everything installed this weekend and have spent the last few days beating the snot out of the car and doing data logs. I have yet to register any knock in any condition. Hard Shifts, Soft Shifts, Launches, Cruising... None have issues. Whipple has really got their OEM tune figured out. I'm sure there is more HP/TQ to be had with a custom tune but man... This thing is crazy fast as is!

The only issue I have... Need more traction!

Thank you Lethal for the quick turn around and thank you Whipple for an amazing product!

That's an issue for another day!! Enjoy that beast.
But, when you're ready, time to kill that traction issue.

You changed your supercharger set up because of false knock… Did you ever figure out the problem?

Whipple FTW

Problem was he needed a full integrated and fully supported solution.
He needed a company responsible for tuning, hardware, and installation support all under one roof.

Great pickup!

Nice install.

I'd love to hear the differences in character between the 2 boosted set-ups including day-to-day driving when NOT wot.

Not sure what this was supposed to mean... but the issue was the Procharger HO belt hitting the driver side head. I installed the setup on the guy I sold it too and filed the area it was hitting on mine down and he has zero issues. Further more installed the whipple kit all on my own with zero issues.

3.750" Could you get a bigger pulley? Congrats!

Welcome to the club!

With a 20% lower

Think I may convert to the whipple side soon too

So.... The Procharger issues were only after hard shifts. I would get 10 degrees of knock that would only clear if I let off the throttle. But with that said here is what I Noticed -

The Procharger had some serious surging at 3000 RPM. Like hard enough to break your dang neck. Spent several weeks going back and forth with tuner on that issue. After swapping vacuum hoses and Bypass valve the tuner finally took a look and made some change that almost got rid of the surging but not entirely.

Driving around town the ProCharger was super tame. Put your foot down and the power just progressively builds from about 2500 RPM all the way to red line.

The Whipple is just power everywhere. I have tried to cause surging on purpose but have been unable to do so. (I could get the ProCharger setup to surge at 3000 RPM by just rolling partly into the throttle in that range.) Not sure if that issue was from the tune or what.

It takes very light throttle inputs to get going with the Whipple. I live in San Antonio and traffic sucks and so far stop and go hasn't been an issue at all.

nice job! off topic question but what size are those T bolt clamps?

Black Friday/ Cyber Monday is calling your name. lol :cheers::cheers:

glad your enjoying boost!! always fun, even when swapping setups!

And I though data logging with my Lund/JLT/LTH's was scary and dangerous...
Congrats on getting your issues resolved!
