Looking for some experiences and advice for the best tire / suspension setting for no prep launching. Car is 4230lbs with me, Gen 5 Whipple 10R car. It's a no prep, 1/8 mile event at an airstrip. It has hosted many events in the past so there is that heavy layer of rubber but they don't prep it...
Figured I'd share my first run with the Whipple Gen 5. It's been a long wait so I've been excited to finally receive the blower and get a pass in. Car is full weight PP1 premium, 10R car. 4100lbs. Stock DS, stock converter, stock shocks, steeda stop the hop kit, 3.55 rear, full exhaust, 3.7...
So I'm running a 3.0 Whipple in my 10R car and doing the 3.15 gear swap and the local driveline shop keeps asking me what I'm using for a posi because they don't fit into the 3.55 diff. What is everyone doing?
Seeing the latest Odin blower results of 750whp and 555TQ, I'm wondering what's everyone's thoughts on what happened to the TVS TQ that everyone is always talking about? A Whipple Gen 3 blower makes almost the same TQ on straight pump gas alone at 709 then the Odin at 750whp and using boostane...
So I just had a new Mantic twin disk clutch installed into my 17 GT. The clutch feels amazing. Nice pedal feel, great engagement, no noise and just a little chatter if not enough fuel give at take off. Here's the problem. On the first day everything was great. That same night, all of a sudden...
Did some research and found lots of info on the parts and information on changing as-built data and forescan but can't really find anything on shops that have done it. It's a job that is a little out of my skill level and I'd like to hear from some people that have had shops complete the swap...
So I had an aftermarket tune with my whipple stage 2 kit and I just changed the car back to the whipple calibration.
I have a iat2 sensor installed for the aftermarket tune. Now that I'm on the Whipple Calibration again the car is throwing a check engine light for iat2 voltage high. Clears and...
So I have a Stage 2 Gen 3 whipple, Oversized heatexchanger and stock 3.75 pulley and that's it. The Whipple calibration was almost perfect except for the 2000-3500, heavy throttle hesitation. Cold start, idle, cruise, all that was PERFECT, just like stock. I reached out to a local tuner to fix...
So I finally have my Whipple stage 2 installed! I had a 3hr drive home from the shop and had to park it in the garage right away because it started snowing bad..lol. First impressions is that the car runs great! It's on the Whipple calibration, idles perfect, fuel trims look perfect, intake...
So I have searched and came to the soild conclusion that my 2017 GT can safely handle the power of a Whipple stage 2, Gen 3 unit. I ordered it and alot of shops in my area now are telling me I'm crazy for running the whipple without a built engine and that I will blow it up. I live in Canada...
