I may or may not have a Whipple on it's way. The intention is E85 and a little itty bitty pulley. I wanna go fast in a straight line. I fear the IRS. So for those who have been there, done that...what have you done?
I'd really rather not buy the BMR catalog (got a PM off to BMR now) unless I...
I know the Whipple community is a strong one and everyone loves their Whipple, so I'm not going to ask if you'd go a different route. Pretty confident I know that answer.
What am I curious about for those who own it, what would you do differently? What do you wish you had done or not done...
I'm curious if anyone has a descent data set on drag racing "stock" or "stockish", then only changed springs? See a consistent improvement? Similarly, "stock" or "stockish", then something like viking shocks. No other changes.
I'm curious is it a couple hundredths? Tenth? Tenths?
It seems...
In the middle of the summer, it can get over 100* ambient and track temp is near 150*. Car is down 4MPH. As much as I'd love to run E85, the only local station is going the way of the dodo bird so it's not an option...but I can get VP101 out of the pump from a station about 35 miles from home...
I'm reaching the point of frustration so I'm looking to others for assistance. I also don't want to blindly throw money at this problem.
The car is '15 GT Auto with 3.15's. It's ran a best of 13.2 @ 110 in San Antonio, TX last October, but it did this with a 2.01 60' on the factory wheels and...
First and foremost this is not intended to stir shit between vendors or fanboi's.
What I want is a technical discussion on TVS (VMP/Rousch) vs. Whipple vs. Kenne Bell. Regardless of Calibrations/Tuners. Just the blowers themselves.
To be honest, I don't understand the differences, why the...
Whipple has said they won't release an E-85 cal. Not hating. It seems Lund is where it's at.
So who has a Lund-tuned Whipple Auto car running E-85. I care less about peak power and more about that Whipple-like drivability that they're known for...oh yeah, and I need a 91 cal for those road trips.
Has any one got any data on auto cars in the different modes "Normal" vs. "Sport/Track"?
I'm curious if the mode is good for anything ET wise, and how much?
Anyone running E85 in the springs? Have you tested it? I'm a ways away from the Springs, but prepared to go up with a couple of 55 gal drums and get me some.
Thanks!

Gallery has all photos in it. I'll have the real camera out next week for better photos. If there is something in particular you want/need, let me know.
Just relocated from CA. I miss my GM dealer who would install mods, and take them off when service advisors showed up for warranty work.
Does such a thing exist in CO? Willing to travel to any surrounding state to get this level of service.
Thanks!

I was very clear with Jay up front what my expectations were. I wanted the item in stock and able to ship by EOW. If he couldn't, don't take my money and blow smoke...
Press the button, it turns over once and that's it. Not a click. I can get in the car, start the car just fine. Is there anything I should look for (fuses, etc) before I take it to the dealer?
