I unfortunately have to drive my whippled 2017 30 miles to work and back several days a week, and in bad SoCal traffic when its hot out I notice the CHT creeps up, even to 220, while the coolant temp needle is in its usual place about centered or slightly towards the cool side. Which should I...

What’s the max acceleration g reading you’ve seen on your in-dash track apps? Just because everyone has one. yes, I know, depends on max engine torque in the rpm range you ran, environmental factors, weight, driveline losses, gear you’re in, gear and diff ratio, wheel diam, and esp traction...

Need to ditch my Indy 500s in my Whippled MT82 car (Whipple cal). I don’t race or launch in 1st…only roll-on in 2nd, but I have to feather the throttle on my Indy 285s and am getting sick of it. thinking of Nitto 555R2 or Toyo R888R. Any advice? If the rain performance is scary I may go with...

I read peoples different interpretations of what happens with the sulfur smell. Stock and with NA bolt ons (FP power pack 3) I never smelt it. My first pull with the Whipple, definitely smelled it. That was 20K miles ago. I smell it from time to time but seems to be intensifying recently...

I’m interested in what other folks think. But one rule: DO NOT include your current car (too much bias). Here’s mine for each gen: 1: 69 Boss 429 2: Um….78 King Cobra…? Disco special 3: 93 Cobra 4: Terminator 5: 13 GT500 6: Mach 1 7: Um…24 Dark Horse

Apologies if the answers to my pretty basic questions are somewhere buried in this forum, but I'm finally going to have my car paint corrected (17, black, parked outdoors, paint in OK but not great condition) and ceramic coated. I've got a few quotes from professional places and there are some...

Just rereading a C&D article I loved when I was younger, a drag race between a GMC Syclone (a “car” I lusted for) and a Ferrari 348. The Syclone was hugely impressive at the time for its amazing torque, launch, 0-60 and quarter mile stats. It beat the Ferrari in a dig drag race, though the...

Can anyone recommend a place that does good quality and reasonably priced detail work in LA area? I’m thinking of ceramic coating. Thanks!

This, in my opinion: Anybody agree? I like the ‘70 but the outer headlights delete didn’t do it for me.

Can anyone with an NA coyote tell me what their vacuum gauge reads at wot? Right at 0 or how much below?

Car is for street only, no track time...the occasional pull on onramps. All of the cars I’ve had were fun but I always get used to the power. Besides the fact of having a supercharged coyote, I’ve found Flight control in Whipple tune kills that problem. Car dyno’d at 650 whp (Dynojet, SAE...

Anyone in CA or OR or CO worried about driving their cars in areas with nearby wildfires with all the shyte floating around the air? Yes we have air filters and I have the provided “high flow” filter w the Whipple kit but god knows how much super fine particulate ash is getting through and...

When Whipple designers the Gen5, I know they went with an upside-down design to clear the 18+ hood and improve cooling with a 2-pass IC, but does anyone know why did they chose a 3/4 rotor pack vs the 3/5 from the gen 4? I can’t find any info on advantages.

I’ve heard from some sources that the 1 to 1 gear will show the best power and from others that the torque will be highest 1 to 1 but the power curve will converge at the top end. Anybody run the direct gear and another gear back-to-back? I ran in 5th (=direct on 15-17 mt82) and the torque was...

Does anyone know if we can “test” the quality of gas in the tank without going WOT? As in monitoring some key PIDs on e.g. nGauge, going into boost at light/moderate throttle and looking for telltale signs? KnockR? Or do you have to really push it to know (which could suck...). Best case is...

Going FI soon. I know it’s riskier than NA and I’m going to mitigate by installing opg/cs, catch can, but mostly by being careful how I drive and not hammer on it constantly and not until warm, etc. But my biggest worry is that sooner or later someone at a repair shop will take it for a “test...

If anyone has the Gen5 Whipple (Stage 1 or 2) on their 15-17, please share your impressions or experience so far. Thanks in adv.

I’m probably getting FI on my 17 6M but not ever for drag racing, only for roll-on pulls in 2nd or 3rd. Probably getting a PD blower. Given the cost of the system and installation I want to minimize $ on wheels/tires, within reason, and not just spin them at WOT. Any advice on minimum useful...

I have a 2017 GT and have always dreamed of going FI, and I have an opportunity now. I know there's inherently plenty of risk involved but I want to be smart about it. I'll never track or drag, or even go WOT except from a roll. In other words, I'll minimize the mechanical shock as much as I...

If this has already been discussed to death, apologies. There seems to be an impression out there that the GT350IM has zero advantages over a stock 18GT IM, in the low/mid range and even for peak power for a Coyote to 7500rpm (not Voodoo). There's a Car Craft article out there on a crate GT...
