I had it on my 2017. It started at around 13,000 miles. And yes Cera-Tec stopped it and when I went with a blower and upped the oil weight to 5/30 it went away and hasn't come back at 25,000 miles.
I used Cera tec for the tic for years and it worked. When I went FI I upped the oil weight to 5 30 and not 50 like Whipple says cause its a lot colder up here. The tic went away and I no longer use Cera-Tec.
When I got a tune, throttle response was changed by having just what it says less pedal needed for same amount of go. And more instantaneous pedal reaction. With an auto, a tune changes shift points and pressures for higher rpm shifting and crisper shifts. Well worth it if you drive an auto...
At an oil change the dealer tech saw the cloudy oil right away and thought it was coolant. But I told them it was Cera tec and told them why. No more was said about it. I've got a feeling they didn't want to get into the B'BQ tic and 2 K rattle discussion.
I've had the Steeda for about 3 years. I'm in Canada and have found that in colder weather they won't hold my hood up anymore.
But in warmer weather they work fine.
Also as a waiver I have a big fake MMD hood scoop so of course that's probably the cause. But they worked before perfectly for years.
Got my passenger door and fender painted after some A-Hole keyed it in the grocery store parking lot. Also tried to damage my winter tires with dull knife but never succeeded. I parked it in the same place as bait but the perp didn't bite.
I might not know about tuning but I've had my logs checked by those that do. When I mentioned this to
'Lund Calibrator' he told me to get them to tune it then.
I just had a couple probably final emails from the 'Lund Calibrator'.
He declined tell his name the couple of times I've asked.
He said saw my comments on this thread so whoever he is, is monitoring it.
He's again telling now 99%.9 of their customers are happy and don't use Paddles.
Yesterday...
I had an excellent N/A VMP Tune a while back and a FI tune update is $99.99. And after spending so much money jumping thru Lunds hoops a hundred bucks is nothing. So for that price I don't have much to lose by giving them a try.
The thing bucks so hard it almost pulled the Steering wheel out a guys hands that I got to test my car. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong. I mean how hard is it but I wanted to be sure.
2017 Whipple Gen 3

Pretty straightforward right?
Lund Tune.
Just got my final revision and getting a huge bucking after 3/4 throttle shifts in Sport mode.2-3, 3-4.
Plus feels like it's got a dead pedal type feel at varying RPMs in Sport Mode.
Drive Mode feels fine and will pull...
To prepare my car for a Canadian winter I put a couple of hundred lbs bags of Sand in the trunk.
Change over to my dedicated Snow tires and try to stay out of boost.
I went with the Kinetic.
Fills the void left from the bore being oversize compared to OEM bolt. Don't know if the ARP does that.
Whipple 700 WHP.
Not much else I can tell you.
