When I purchase mine for the bullet, it included up the $5,000 in driveline damage. But they offer a warranty with their product as far as it being built properly and etc. But then for a while I read that Whipple stop giving drive line warranties.

When I was at the drag strip with my red car, there was a guy right next to me with a similar looking 2019 with a Whipple on it. He had a dealership install it on the car when he bought it new. They tuned it and somebody made a mistake but his engine went. And the dealership made him whole! Because it was there too. Anyway they put a new engine in his car and with just his weapon and drag radials he's running mid tens all day long!

Everything is the tune. My thinking is Whipple does not want bad engines out there and wants to sell blowers and so they're going to do the best they can on the tune and I can attest that it was excellent. My gas mileage was not much different than stock either.

Whipple now offers a 36mo/36k powertrain warranty:

"While Whipple broke many rules and records with its record setting S550 supercharger system, holding the title of the most powerful, most advanced supercharger system available, we weren't satisified and decided to build an all new supercharger from the ground up. The patent pending 50-State legal stage 1 supercharger system makes *750 flywheel HP and *615 foot pounds of torque and is offered with an optional 3 year, 36,000 mile power-train warranty."

What does optional mean? Pay more or just have to request it?

I went ahead and got the 7yr/100K warranty even though I probably won't ever put that many miles on it.

My Whipple had an optional warranty that I refered to before. I believe it was $5,000 on the powertrain and it cost $500 additional which I did not purchase.

I had a conversation with whipple about these this week. They no longer offer the warranty option. The company they had doing it, no longer offers it. They are now working on a new company to cover it.

That is a bad sign

They need to get it off their website then. Art is leaving the door open to litigation. Especially being based in CA.

So no warranty with a whipple? I'll wait it out.

If it's a third party warranty, you'd likely be banging your head against the wall anyway trying to get coverage. They're notorious for ignoring you and finding any reason to deny a claim ... could be why Whipple dropped the first company??

 

[GreenS550]

As I see it the warranty issue has to do with the fact that once you have a Whipple put on and you use their tune for example and you're happy with your 675rwhp, but then you decide you want to get injectors different pulley Palm Beach Dyno tune or Lund or somebody now you're making 800 wheel horsepower in the engine gets fried. So then you switch back to the Whipple tune in your injectors that came with the kit and the pulley and you cry fowl.

That's the reason I didn't buy the extended warranty for $500 cuz I was convinced that Whipple knew what they were doing, and they did.

I wouldn't be that concerned about the warranty. If you want to put a blower on do it!

I agree. I'm in no hurry.

Any Interest in this? I think it would be 90% of a GT500 and with our pricing less than 90% of the cost.

I've been tossing around the idea of becoming a whipple supercharger dealer and from my conversations with Roush, they are not entertaining a kit specific to the Mach 1. This would leave Whipple as the most viable option and my mind keeps spinning on the possibilities with this kit.

Extremely interested Zach. I've already had conversations with Lebanon Ford in Ohio about this. I will be getting a Mach 1 thru you, and if you handle the Whipple also - it would save me a lot of hassle. Not sure if it allows the strut brace, but who cares. Lebanon also offers the Roush supercharger, which allows a 3 year warranty. I would place my order with it, so it's installed when I pick it up, especially if there's a warranty.
