I don't street race at all; so many unmarked police cars here, no hurry to go to jail, so not worried about the racing aspect. Car culture is nice for sure. I have a Model 3 right now and with the volatility of the EV market I would only lease for A) Reliability/unknown future and B) value...

Totally get it. I've seen I believe it was a 96 year old go skydiving. I've seen people do amazing things. For me, I don't have a lift and being on my back or hunched over my engine bay isn't the most fun anymore.

I feel much older. Was a super hero in the army but now every darn joint just hurts. But yeah, I get what your saying for sure I've just spent so much time working on the car I'm at this cross road of which way to go.

Lol for me at 42 years old not rich it just hurts to get under the car wrenching etc. And I don't have the money to pay people for the quality work I'd want done. I don't enjoy tinkering like when I was a kid. I don't drag race the car much though i do enjoy little acceleration pulls. That's the...

I don't have an answer on horsepower ratings. Blame the dyno blame air who knows. I spoke to Mike malicoat about pulley I was running in past, and he said many people run that pulley without issue. Not placing any blame or saying Whipple sucks or any of that nonsense.

I don't expect anything free. It would be nice if it is a manufacturer defect if whipple would own it. At the very least not gouge me for 5k plus to fix it. If it needs new rear gears I find it hard to believe that costs 5k or more. That said if you look at the rotors you can tell it is not...

Thanks! I'll plan to pull it off this weekend and post some pics. Yes ran 3.0 pulley, several others have run smaller just fine for years so dunno. It's only been wot a few dozen times.

I have not disassembled the blower, I only removed the head unit from the car. I was replying to WD Pro's comment about the bolt. It did not ingest a bolt.

Not possible it ingested a bolt; I'll try to send some pics of inlet; inlet looks fine, rotors look fine, I am debating removing back cover, as I don't know how its put together back there but I assume the issue lies with the gears that connect the jack shaft to the rotors.

What do you mean by known issue? And what do you mean by fix what's supposed to be covered? Time wise I'm sure I'm out of warranty.

Agreed. It's odd. My car only has 16k miles total on it. I started with roush vmp supercharger swapped to whipple gen 2 then whipple gen 3. Haven't driven car much, decided needed to take it out. Drove to pick up my son and whipple took a dump.

Thanks for the info! I did do the install myself but it's fairly straight forward. I did not put bags of ice or anything on it. I was simply driving in the city when it locked up on me.

Thanks, no idea what caused the failure. I realize it's my decision but looking for advice on what others have done. For example say I go turbo or return car to stock... where would I sell my built motor. What would I do with the whipple parts? Junk it? Is there somewhere cheaper/equally as...

I was driving normally to pick up my son when my car suddenly bogged stalled wouldn't start. Towed home. A month later I finally had time to diagnose thinking I had some engine issue. Pulled plugs, pulled belt off and car turned over just fine. Turns out whipple won't spin. It only has about...

For the convertible I am debating possibly buy a C8 vert keep it stock and enjoy the cruise.

Are you saying this to find a cheap roller chassis and take advantage of weight savings? I'm not thinking 100% total race car, but do think coup would be safer than the vert for when I do take it to the track. It certainly won't be a daily but I want something shiny, like the look of the 15-17...

Hello, I have a built sleeved motor whipple gen 3 fore triple pump fuel system etc with a manual 6060 trans built by ben calimer. I'm at a point in life where this car is too fast for the drag strip the way it sits, but too slow for my skill level. I ran mid 10s at the track knowing the car...

Im in a 2015 running over 900 wheel, nt05r plus all the bmr stop the hp package and have zero wheel hop. I do get wheel spin in first on the street, and some on 2nd occasionally but that's it. Look into bmr and a good tire that will take care of ya.

This is interesting. I always thought it was moisture that accumulates on the smaller head that fails them but your saying moisture comes down the connector ruins the wiring?

I hears about the moisture issue. What connectors did you wrap with electrical tape?
