Whipple installation recommendations

[gadgtfreek]

Ok, so my bud and I are looking at a road trip in the next month to upgrade the car. Ive talked to Lebanon Ford and they have been great. Two questions:

1) Being in Alabama is there anyone closer anyone would recommend?
2)While I'm spending the money, anything else I should have them do? (2019 5.0 6spd MT)


Thanks.

I would def recommend stickier and wider preferably tires for the rear

Other good options

Long tube headers.
things to tighten up IRS (see steedas catalog)
Half Shafts (especially with sticky tire, dont know how necessary for street use, def recommend for track)

Thanks. I was wondering about the wheel hop kits and the half shaft upgrades.

You should probably go ahead and do the OPG/CS while you are at it. Cheap insurance. If you haven't considered the VMP Odin kit, you should look at it. They are in stock, and they make very nice power. If you are dead set on the Whipple, be prepared to wait.....and wait.....and......They are way behind right now. Last I heard, they were almost 16 weeks out. I don't know where you are in Alabama, but if you come up toward Nashville, you can see what the VMP Odin kit brings to the table on my 2019 PP1.

Did you order the Whipple months ago? Otherwise there isn't a chance you'll have it next month.

I have a Whipple going on my car this week. I also upgraded the OPGs, clutch, driveshaft and will put some half shafts in the car. I already have the steeda stop the hop kit. I am a bit of a drag racer, so that is why I upgraded the other drivetrain components.

If your car is just used for blasting around on the street, I'd just upgrade the OPGs with the blower and go have fun.

Yes definitely stiffen up the rear and the suspension overall. It is a necessity if you are adding that much power. I just finished out mine with all their suspension goodies, the car feels completely underpowered because of how well it handles and puts the power down. If you have any questions on which parts to do first, hit me up.

Thanks everyone, got me in the right direction. Now I have to do some figuring.
