I seriously looked at the Supra before I got my 2020 GT. But there too many things that i didn't like about the car like no MT.
One thing I'm curious about did they unlock the computer on the car? Part way through the second year production BMW encrypted the computer. I believe it was hardware...
It appears that Lethal Performance has a Black Friday sale on Wipple.
Whipple Superchargers | 11/26-11/30 | 10% off PLUS be entered into a drawing for a FULL REFUND
I don't know what's up with Edelbrock but their supercharger kits seem to have been out of stock for months. Summit shows a delivery time of 8/31 but I think this is optimistic at best.
Almost all supercharger kits are out of stock. I just wonder if the move to Mississippi is having an adverse...
One thing you may want to consider about the Wipple is the order lead time. It's been upwards of 6 months!. Check out the "The Wipple Wait" on this site.
My guess it's a production issue. They likely have limited production for each lid and matching heat exchanger so which ever one they have on hand is what they ship. I would think that sometime in the future only the dual port one will be produced.
As I said previously the dual port version appears to be the same lid that's used on the 3.8L. Look at pictures of both and you can see they are the same. I think eventually there will be only 1 lid, the 3.8L one and the 3L one will be discontinued.
I think the 2 port version is better due to...
After comparing the lids for the 3.8L and the 3L I'm convinced that the one with the 2 ports is the 3.8L lid. Wipple may be standardizing on one design for manufacturing reasons.
As far as performance differences here's my speculation. I think the 3L lid feeds the 2 outer radiators with...
This is a little off topic but may be of some interest. It's the patent for the superchargers inter cooler.
Also I think there is some ongoing litigation with Edelbrock concerning this design.

6-8 weeks! I wish. I don't know who told you this but it's more like 26+ weeks. There's people who ordered back in November of last year and are just starting to be delivery.
Strange there is such a wide difference between order dates and delivery. I wounder if the special color adds a month to a order.
It's nice to see that mid January orders are being shipped. Maybe things are speeding up.
Has anybody checked out Ebay? There's kits for sale with delivery times in the June to July range.
I wounder if this is just BS if not how did they get such short delivery times?
Unfortunately I canceled my order. I only placed it at the end of April anyway. Checking here and some other places it looked like I wouldn't have received it until October. I don't drive my car in the Winter so that getting it in October would worthless.
I hope people post when they receive...
Edelbrock did this to themselves. They anounced the the bulk of their operations is moving to Mississippi! Who wants to move there from California. I'm sure they lost all of their machists since there are plenty of jobs for them in the Los Angeles area. I believe they are keeping a foundary...
The nice thing about Edelbrock is that they won't take your order if they don't have it in stock.
When I went to order one for my daughters Subaru BRZ it was out of stock and I setup an in stock notify with Edelbrock. 3 weeks later I got an in stock notification and ordered it. Less than 2 weeks...
