The whipple wait

[az89gt]

Yeah, I could probably handle it with a bit of help, but the OPG/CS adds some complexity I don't want to deal with, nor do I have the time as I travel a lot. Oh well, I've waited this long so a few more months won't kill me, and it should be done before I take it to Vegas for SCSN.

Ordered mine 11/23. Was told typical is 4-5 weeks as they are built to order but because the volume is high due to sales events and the holidays (easily lost 2 weeks) it would be more like 8-10 weeks. As of an update yesterday I was told units ordered end of nov should start shipping week of 1/25. This would equate to 10 weeks including holidays, 8 subtracting two weeks. I expect to see mine in feb.

My research shows typical is more like 8-12 weeks pending time of year. I just watched a bideo that showcased the whipple facility and someone said 25 units ship per day! That is a ton of power going out the door.

fact is, with deep discounts I will wait however long it takes. I used the savings to purchase the rxthd 1200hp clutch, flywheel, slave cyl, pilot bearing and clutch line. Installed and going through the long breakin time.

Do you think I should go the same route with my tranny,I've got a '21,5000 miles on it,and worried about it

My car only had 1000 miles on it. I knew the clutch would not last And would eventually have to be swapped. I used that is a proactive excuse to change the clutch to the mcleod and do the rear cooling mods.

we get kits occassionally if a customer cancelled an order, totalled a car, something happens, we usually keep the order in if it's been in for a couple months already.

most pds (other than roush, we have some of those) are about 4-6 weeks,

whipple has spent alot of time and money on more molds to get more units coming, so they are working really hard on cutting down times, right now were seeing quote / kits shipping in about 14-16 weeks on gen 5 stuff, so they have shaved a couple months off since ealrier in the year.

covid has played hell with large companies / parts suppliers, and i know dustin has spent a ton of money trying to get everything moving fast for everyone

Thanks Beef.
Might be time to try a centrifugal . Are they ready to ship ?
Not seen any of them on a coyote /Fox swap but I am new to that world ... but I know you are not .
Do any centrifugal manufactures make specific kits or will any coyote specific kit work ?

vortech / paxton do not have a "swap" kit, so you would probably end up needing to some custom piping, depending on the year of the engine, we do have some kits,

procharger makes a specific swap kit for gen 1, and gen 2/3 engines. they are 5-8 currently

Thanks again Beef .

So 5-8 weeks ? Not much different or longer than say Edelbrok or VMP ?
Gives me time anyway , to enjoy the swap NA.

I know everyone will have their preference (like with any boosted coyote ) but do you have any specific recommendations for a fox swap ?

I am not a fan of cowl hoods so will the centrifugal fit better under a stock hood .
