Whipple introduces new flight control software

[jasonstang]

Can you explain in more detail how the power by gear works? Whats the difference with traction control vs this or is it something completly different?

Think of this as a smart traction control that learns and adjustable.

Question for Whipple, what is different with the current calibration that already have knock control features that use feedback from the factory sensors AIT, ACT and reacting to bad gas any different. I thought we already had an advanced knock control strategy. How is the knock limiting feature different or better than what we have.

Now the only thing we need is a bluetooth adaptor and an App.

A Flare Tool iPhone App and AppleLink or, better yet, a native Sync 3 App so our Android buds aren't left out?

Anyone have an idea if there is a developer's kit for Sync 3 and what the rules for getting it loaded might be?

But I don't imagine Sync3 can "talk" to the PCM though...hmmm.

I suppose an (iPhone/Android) App and a BT adaptor is the path of least resistance though...

One question regarding power by gear is how is it gonna work with automatics that change shift points depending how much the throttle is opened. I would imagine shift points are totally relied on the gas pedal input where the throttle opening could vary? At least that's how most traction control system works when the engine cuts power but still remain in the same gear instead of shifting up.

OMG want one so bad!!!!

I changed my term from 3 year to 5 year so I can have lower monthly payment to have extra money for a Whipple.

I was weighing other options, however keeping an eye on Whipple. I must say you have my attention. I have a 5yr/75k that was given to me by Ford. I'll definitely be watching with great attention. I am leaning this way for my power adder needs. Subscribed.

This is just added logic for increased safety. Each has a switch to turn on (default) or off. One can opt to turn off for racing apps or whenever they want. Therefore it's just added to the already advanced knock logic.

I've had my eye on whipple from the very beginning...I want one so bad that I want to throw a temper tantrum over it haha

Time to start my monthly allowance to get a whipple!

The virtual pulley works just like you changed the pulley, say you had 10psi of boost making 650rw, if you adjust 1st gear it may lower to 8psi and make 600rw (just an example) so all shift points adapt.

My Whipple was delivered yesterday. It was like Christmas yesterday, and now I am celebrating all over again with all the new updates Thanks Whipple!

If I pulley for 12psi, and I lower it to 10 with the virtual pulley, where does the extra 2psi stay? Since the supercharger is atached to the engines rpm, so what the program actually does it give it maybe 75% throttle?

Essentially yes that's how it will work. But your at high elevation so you will have indicated boost but low cylinder pressure so I would boost away!

So in theory, how much smaller can we go with a pulley before a retune is required? Example, run a 3.5" pulley for max power and adjust up from there to limit power day to day leaving the 3.5" for race day or something like that? Is that clear? lol
