+1 to this guy, Lethal and Whipple SC.Honestly I don't understand the disbelief. I have had two S550's in the last two years. The first being a 2015 manual with the G2, Stage 2, 2.9 Whipple with 3.625", headers with cats, 72# injectors, Whipple tune and made 765 rwhp on pure 93 octane. This is pretty common knowledge these cars are making this power with this setup. I now have a 17 automatic setup exactly the same and put down 747. Its not unreasonable the better flowing, more efficient G3 would put the 15 manual car over 800 rwhp and the 17 auto very close. This is not smoke and mirrors or false advertising it is completely legit. Let me make one more statement to prove my point.
I just got done building my buddy's 16 manual. Its a stage 2, Gen 2 2.9, 3.625", 72# injectors, Upgraded HE, headers with cats and a Whipple tune but with cam timing tweaked on pure 93 octane gas, no additives and this is the results. First pull is with completely stock Whipple tune, second is with said tune but cam timing adjusted
I built this car personally and drove it to the dyno personally so I am sure what I am saying is accurate. Why is it so hard to believe the G3 will push it over 800 rwhp? Now, this is under perfect dyno conditions, 60Âş no humidity but still this is what it made. I get it, its dyno numbers not track tested but what Whipple is saying is their G3 car has made over 800 rwhp on a tune with modified cam timing and pure 93 octane ON A DYNO.
I think having three folks post similar numbers running 93 in different places on different days says volumes. I've got a Gen2 I just bolted on my second 2015 GT auto a month or so ago (the day my Gen2 blower arrived was THE DAY you announced the Gen3 release for $200 - I'm still salty Terry or Whipple didn't let me know so I could've done it!) - but my Gen 2 is stout and my last car was a ProCharger and Lund had timing pulling on mine after 5k on 93 too. I had knock issues on ProCharger as well that I'm simply not having on my Whipple.
I haven't read the whole thread yet but I got two pages into it and don't understand why everyone's jumping on the guys posting dynos and saying it didn't happen - I say congrats that's awesome guys and congrats on your car making sick power! I hope mine will make something similar!
