2019 GT PP2 here. Put a Whipple 3.0 on it about 5 years and 15k miles ago (not my DD of course). Put the Stage 1 on it first, then upgraded to Stage 2 a couple years after.

*Yes, I like it a lot. No complaints. No cooling issues driving or in traffic.

* Drives like normal until you put your foot down and you're gone. I was hoping to get a larger increase in low end torque than I did but still happy with it. Its manageable power and with Michelin 325's on rear has plenty of grip.

*Drove from Tampa area to Tennessee (Ponies in the Smokies, Tail of the Dragon) and back. The blower and car responded just like stock but had the idler pully wear out and wobble causing belt to shred, was stuck in Georgia for 3 days ordering parts overnight from Whipple & making repairs in the hotel parking lot. The pulleys are from Whipple (not OEM) but suspect it failed due to belt being too tight from installation. Once I had it all fixed and belt on I noticed it was way above the setting of 120(? if I remember correctly) so I set it to OEM specs and no issues since. Wouldn't hesitate to go on another long drive with that blower setup, will bring my spare parts just in case, LOL.

*If you do go boost, always get the oversized or largest heat exchanger offered and always go straight to the Stage 2.
