Whipple install price?!

about 20 hours of your own time, some beers and food

I realize my limitations (it would be dangerous for me to try to put that together, trust me) and so I farmed this out (sorry gearheads) and had the car picked up just yesterday so this is as fresh a datapoint as you will get.

I spoke to two experienced shops around here (really aren't that many options where I live) and they both gave me exact same estimates - 15-20 hours for the install + a handful for the OPG/CS. Hourly rate quoted from both was $110.

The install came in at 23 hours (incl. the OPG) so right where expected and the total cost was then $2,530 + an addt'l $175 for oil/filter + coolant for the intercooler.

If you have the option to do it yourself obv. that's a boatload of money you can save for other stuff - me I have more money than skillz

Think if you can get it done for $1,600 or so fixed rate then it's a good deal IMHO.

9-10 hours sounds like too little attention for this type of conversion, or?

OP, beefcake and Finishline performance are worth the drive IMO. They do excellent work and have a dyno in house to fine tune the setup when completed. I'll be seeing them again in the near future for my switch from NA to FI :cheers:

Thought about doing it myself but after reading the install guide I think it may be slightly above my skill level. Plus I think I would prefer to have a shop install it if I had any problems it would still be somewhat under warranty

Local reputable install shop is quoting me $1850 for the install which seems really steep to me. I thought this was like an 11 hour job? They claim that they take no shortcuts and these kits have taken them 15 hours before. Even then it’s like $125/hr

Those that got it installed, how much did you pay?

Problem solved :clap2:

Local shops were all around $1200. Then one offered free install with purchase. The rest is history.

Gen 5 Whipple or Roush /ford racing TVS kit whenever that comes out ?

you guys are lucky to have even 2 choices for shops to install a blower or turbo setup. here in Oregon the only place i can find is a ford dealer.

The whipple kit is on your website .The description is right but it has the gen 3 pics .
http://www.teambeefcakeracing.com/whipple-wk-2622b.html
I know whipple is still working on the cal but are you taking orders yet ?(looks like I can on the website ).

Any idea when they will be ready to ship (probably a question for Whipple )?

I should probably wait to see what the Roush/Ford racing /TVS kit makes since that will come with a power train warranty (it would be nice to have one ...at least for a while )

I am in Indy. Its only an hour drive so will definitely be ordering from you if install is free (will you throw in OPG/CS install as well ?)

we can take a pre order, and wedo have pre orders already in on the roush kits as well.

opg combo's we have, and we get 1 day labor 760 on those

Do you have any info on the Roush kits on your website ?
Pricing ?
The last time there was any info was November 2017 at the unveil .
700 crank hp seems kind of low this days even with a power train warranty.

Will the whipple stage 1 kit also come with one (or will it be extra ) that will be comparable to the one from Roush ?
