Whipple Time

[Turrizm]

They put a twin screw on my last mustang and did excellent work.

Well it looks like I picked up a Whipple kit. We will see if it all pans out. I will be doing the install myself.

The only thing that has me scared away from the Whipple kit is the low torque numbers in comparison to HP. The Procharger kits look way better on that end.

It's a non issue in my book. Between the 4th or 5th gear topic and the fact that PD blowers do tail off in the upper r.p.m.s on torque it isn't a big deal.

If I floor it below 60 in 3rd, the tires light up. A lot of good more torque would do me

Agreed, but with a set of MT ET drag radials you'll want that torque. Damn so hard to make a final decision on what kit to get

Seller backed out. Must not be my day to buy a blower. Always gotta have a back up plan though.

Bummer dude. I am sure there is a plan B ;)

I would not agree with that at all. Even with drag radials I will have traction issues with low RPM torque.

And when racing you will shift at redline and never use that low end torque.

All its good for is roasting tires, breaking driveline parts, and bending stock connecting rods.

From what I understand, the whipple tune was controlling the torque somehow through all types of engine parameters they could control but I could be wrong.

I'm definitely not worried about the torque. It's a Mustang after all... I think we have all seen Mustang's lose control in some weird straight line acceleration. I'm good with the torque curve...

^^heard this as well from a trusted source. The argument against PD vs Centri is usually low end torque and instant on power being useless in a street application because, well, tire smoke. Seems whipple tuned their kit for the majority of s550 drivers who's cars may only see a track a handful of times in its lifetime (if at all) but will get plenty of flogging on the street or an impromptu/planned dig.

Makes me that much closer to pulling the trigger on the whipple....love the oem fit/finish/tune quality/drive ability out of the box. Last thing I'd want after installing a blower is to have to chase down a good tune like some of these other FI threads.

Join the cool kids on the playground man! We roll deep :first:

My NT05R's showed up today. My forgestars are shipping this week. By next weekend I will have completed my IRS upgrades w/ axles.

At that point I will make the judgement call if I want to head to the track and see what the base Whipple kit does out of the box, and just run it with my 12 psi pulley and Whipple tune - or if I want to swap my injectors and do the E85 tune before hitting the track.

Im thinking you guys would like to see some out-of-the-box numbers though.

BTW now at 3300 miles with the SC. Guess I need to do another oil change now!
