You’re going to cause the man to speedy money!

My only complaint with mine were some of the parts needed for install could honestly have been designed and engineered a lot better instead of just built.

The majority of purchasers dont have this issue. My tune loaded perfectly and I havnt touched it since. Your only concern should and will be " I need new stickier tires"!!! Its absolutely worth the cost.

Whipple was a great experience for me.
I'll be getting another one on a 19.

So been running the Whipple for about 3 months now. The only complaint I have is that 6th gear is worthless. I feel like I have absolutely no power in it even at 80 mph which is the speed limit on the freeway in Idaho. When I give it gas, it bogs and hesitates. Every other gear pulls like a freight train.

That's good. You shouldn't hammer it in 6th anyways, down shift.

I know that but even cruising, I have a hard time maintaining speed, bogs like crazy and with my exhaust it drones like a mofo. I have to downshift

6th is usually pretty worthless. that said I don't know why it wouldn't be at least slightly better with the Whipple. Guys with 1k at the wheels with 350's still find 6th gear to be pretty useless.

its only their for mileage.

hmm, that does sound weird.

low RPM knock?

I'm going to pay a lot more attention to it. I'm probably going to try to log it too

Gonna do it. Got time to wait for the best deal available.

Did the OP get this straightened out?

Ken at palm beach dyno just put up a video in which he mentioned that a ton of the cars he sees have a vacuum leak between the upper and lower units at the bypass valve o-ring.

Can you link to this?
