Communication - honest communication would be amazing. I am still excited about this purchase, weather is just starting to ramp up - so we have some time. It's just better to have a more realistic date set - even if it is longer than it actually ends up being - so you know when to look out for...
Well...new update - and the delay continues. As I have said above - I fully understand there is a pandemic and there are far more critical things happening in this world. I and my Family have been blessed up until now. What I would want from Whipple is for them to treat us like calm...
I agree - and these are very good points! My personal experience and because as I say above - I would not personally tune my own car - I have to remember that some people are actually pretty good at it. It is not something I personally do - and I just see work effort and disaster because I don't...
Wow! Only 17 psi? I have spoken with a few Gen V Whipple owners who have went almost 19 psi on the stock motor for multiple passes. That said - they are Gen 3 cars. Who tuned the car and how many runs was this before it blew? Thanks!
My two cents;
Having come from a GTR platform - DCT - with 11 plate, 22 clutches - I have gotten the understanding of how complicated these transmissions can be when it comes to tuning. Converter or not, as EngineerMike stated above - there are a ton of parameters to consider (and get right)...
Having done more than a few builds - I am the same. It is and has always been a part of the game. It isn't something to get too upset about. I ordered December because I wanted to make sure I would have the time- and weather still isn't fantastic where I am anyway. There are only reasons to be...
I would agree it is very likely the bigger Shops who order a ton of Whipple product would get preferred treatment. I think that is fairly normal. I think it is also about the squeaky wheel. If someone lets it go for over a month - they are going to let it go because they have so many Shops and...
Correct again...CPU/silicon shortage is crushing everything. Too many bit coin data miners and gamers lol...the new car market is in a bad state too - which is why used prices are so high. I see people there too - complain - "that is too much - he ain't selling that car!" - forgetting about...
Yup...I am in - would take more time to get anything else anyway lol. We are living during a pandemic - the idea that they "should" do x, y, z isn't realistic. No one knew what would happen. And because we are living in a pandemic - there are far worse things afoot. I know most of the people on...
What I have found - which isn't surprising - is that bigger Shops and those pushing like super intense never going to stop calling you energy (not negative or aggressive, just consistent) - tend to be getting their units. I think there was a guy on here who ordered early December that already...
That is bad. I know there are a few on or slightly before Black Friday that are still waiting - but many have their orders delivered. Have you been pushing or did you let it go?
Excellent point! I have a 10R80 as well - so I am hoping my 60-130 times will reflect your point. I have my Dragy ready to go and will report back with a thread - once my car is ready lol...
Sam has been kind to share his experiences on his build - very knowledgeable guy. He is running a pretty complete setup and has been very consistent. I think he was about to change over to the 10 rib but ended up focusing on his Foxbody Coyote Gen V. He pushed his 6 rib really well.
No problem. I haven't quite figured out why Mustang times are slower than similar ET/trapping GTRs - if it is as simple as RWD vs AWD - but as a comparison - on an earlier build running 9.3-9.5 at 153-158 MPH (so a fairly legit MPH difference) - I hit 3.89 60-130 (it is still listed on multiple...
