How much is the warranty and what all does it include exactly?

To achieve the 650rwhp mark as mentioned earlier in this thread, were the upgraded 132mm throttle body and dual fans used?

$495, covers up to $5000 of damage. 3 year, 36,000 mike.

Yes, you need the 132mm TB. The fans don't make more power on the dyno but do help more consistent power on the road.

Im looking to buy a supercharger, my goal is 700whp , but I travel with my car and its often at 6700' above sea level, so I really would like something for DD,since logically 700whp would be at sea level, what could I expect to really have when having it at that level or how does altitude affect this?

No problem running different elevations. The PCM will correct for the change and power wise, will increase spark advance and target Lambda to maximize power at varying elevation. 700RWHP at sea level will show roughly 725rwhp corrected at 6700 feet but in reality you will be closer to 600rwhp, which would be nearly 100% more power then you have now. To make more, you would need to pulley down but if you go to far, you will exceed the limits at low elevation.

Thats exactly what Im wondering, what are the limitations? , the boost would drop at higher elevation, so If understand this right, if I make 14psi @ sea level,going to 6700' altitude I would loose psi ,lets say it would drop to 10psi, so in that case I need a pulley to compensate but that makes the supercharger spin faster and it gets less efficient with higher iat and then I would need to go up to 16psi to get to the same hp level but Im limited by the supercharger to get that much boost or is the motor limitated on boost ?

Moving air (volume) takes more power then just SC RPM. The difference of 1000RPM to equal the same airflow is tiny so don't put much into that. Also, you would be nowhere near poor efficiency area's.

Standard kits run 11-12psi with the 132mm TB, 3.75" SC pulley. The cam position is modified to decrease compression to allow this boost to run on 91 and higher fuel. When you run higher octane fuel, the power will auto increase. Example, put some 104 in and the same tune that makes 675rw will make 725rw, without changing the pulley. The same can be said with elevation, with the lack of pressure, the PCM will increase power to try and maintain the same level. While it can't get to the same power at 6700 feet, its still is more than if you just factor the lack of O2.

If you pulley down, say to a 3.50" pulley, that would be 14psi at sea level, 10-11 at 6700 feet. That will net you 750+ corrected hp and roughly 625-650rw actual. Because everything must work harder, you can never make the exact power but you can usually get within 5%. The issue is if you drive up and down elevation all the time, you can't run a 3.25 or 3.50" pulley at sea level on 91 octane.

The most difference I would usually get is 3000' . Im wondering if theres a way to calibrate the tune for 3.5" pulley for when I need that power ,lets say I go drag racing around 5 times a year ,but have a more conservative tune for DD for less boost?

The tune would be the same either way, the pulley is what will dictate the last part of the combination. We don't have a conservative or aggressive tune per say. We maximize power at all times, running durability testing at 0-130deg F, 91 to 93 octane, 0-5500 feet (we didn't go to 6700) and built the cal like an OEM cal, meaning its going to adapt at all times.

So if you want to make more power to race, just change the pulley, its faster then loading a tune. If you want daily driver, run the standard boost and you will be good. It will run extremely well at 3700-6700 feet.

Is Whipple making a sealed cold air box yet?

Yes, all complete kits shipping as of now go with the sealed airbus.

Nice what's the cost to upgrade my existing kit?

 

[SC_Ruby]

Yes, all complete kits shipping as of now go with the sealed airbus.

Any photos of the final production of the sealed air box?

Why do some Whippled cars have a plastic intake tube and others a carbon fiber dipped nice looking one? Does the nice intake come with the 132 mm throttle body?

Yes please! I was thinking about fabricating something this weekend to prevent the filter from getting soaked. Rainy season is here.....

Just installed my 10 Rib 3.625 pulley Can't wait to go for a test ride!

Driving this car just may be the funnest thing I have ever done. I wonder if people laugh at me when they see the massive smile on my face. Just can't seem to drive it without one lol

 

[gsxr1300]

awesome! should be about 20HP right?
