I was hoping someone could elaborate on the built in safety features in Whipples tune/calibration and how they actually reduce power to protect the motor.

1. I have read that Whipple uses air fuel monitoring and will dial back power if it reaches a lean threshold under WOT. How via cam timing or spark?

2. Uses the added AIT air intake temp sensor to reduce timing when AIT's reach a certain upper level. Specifically what temp will it pull timing and how much?

3. Knock sensor control, my understanding is Whipple has advanced this. How is this done, is it knock sensor placement or purely in the calibration?

The Whipple cal is very advanced and utilized all of the safety features that the stock calibration uses. Most important is that the knock sensors are utilized. If the car senses any knock it will pull timing. The same thing goes for the IAT2 sensor. If the IAT2 temps go above a certain threshold the car will pull timing as well.

As far as the knock sensors themselves are concerned they simply detect knock. The tune is designed to pull a certain amount of timing when this occurs. What amount I can't say but it works just how it should and helps prevent damage from bad gas and detonation.

Hope that helps.

1. Throttle control.
2. We have dual temp, iat 1 and 2, the differential and max iat 2 vary timing but far too complicated to say 1 deg retard per 10deg f or anything like that. It was built in an environmental lab running from 115 to 20deg making it knock in all situations so we could control it in all areas.
3. All calibration and how we control advance and retard.

We also will be debuting Whipple Guardian very soon, a first of its kind for the aftermarket.

Thanks for clearing that up Mr. Whipple. lol

What is this Whipple guardian you speak of?

Could you elaborate on your total timing at WOT with the Whipple tune, and how much can be pulled out when some of the upper limit conditions are met.

It's a massive 3D map, I can't say what timing it is. It's a self learning self adapting knock system that will constantly add timing to max safe range and move when needed. If spark and fuel doesn't save it, the throttle will cut to lower pressure.

I believe it's trade secret.

I for one can't wait for the next Whipple improvement. You guy's are incredible!
