It's the tool that comes with the Gen 5 Whipple(2018+) to load their tune(s). It also can perform a limited set of other functions, such as crank relearn.

Now this could just be me but the instructions on the Tomahawk are not clear on how to perform the crank relearn. So this is how you do it.
1 - Make sure the car is fully warmed up. Has to be above 160deg.
1 - Follow step 10 in the Tomahawk manual. This takes to you the relearn function...
I just occurred to me that there is no manifold pressure transducer on the Whipple. So is anyone with a Whipple and 401a package actually getting the Vacuum Gauge to read manifold pressure? I realize the GT gauge does not have boost but I am looking to replace that with the Ecoboost gauge set...
Tonight was pretty much a wrap up of the stage 2 Whipple SC install and a few minor projects while the car was on stands had the wheels off. I am getting a set of winter wheels and tires from a local forum member that will go on in the next day or so. Then its check out for a while and work...
Funny you should ask....
That was one of tonights projects while reassembling. I have the ZL1 addons deluxe rock guards. The project was reattaching them as the double sided type was letting go. I used Gorilla tape all around. Lets see how that holds up. Rears are done. Fronts are off...
It's alive!!!!!
Changed oil and went with Mobile1 5w50. I am amazed how much the value train quieted down. Truly night and day difference.
Now time to reassemble.

Some delay this weekend. Boating season ending soon here in the northeast. So trying to get in a couple last weekends away.
Completed the fuel pump install though. Being focused on minimizing gas mess limited pictures.
The Whipple instructions could use some updating. I recommend this...
Drive belt update....
Got the 2018 spring tensioner and as I suspected the 82.5" still would not fit. I went with a 83.125" belt and sure enough went on easily. With the adjustable pulley all the way to the bottom or most slack position the arrows basically line up. I am sure I will have...

Latest word out of Whipple is that I got a 2011-2017 spring tensioner. They are over-nighting the correct spring tensioner.
I did get a Gates K060825 83.125" belt as a back up.
Tonight moving to next steps.
