I live in STL, but I'm not sure if theres a dealer around or not. I'm not familiar with any reputable shops either. I know a lot of people just make the trek up north to the Brenspeed shop. They sell Saleen, but I'm sure they'd install a Whipple if you asked. Might check a few Ford dealers, since Whipple is the same as Ford racing superchargers.

I have found these addresses on the FRPP website:

PETE & JAKE'S HOT ROD PARTS
PECULIAR, MO 64078
800-334-7240

SUNSET AUTO COMPANY
ST. LOUIS, MO 63127
314-843-4431

Otherwise contact Whipple INdustries and ask them. Good luck and make sure to go for the High Output (intercooled) S/C. It is the best one out there.

I have to agree with Odel on this....Whipple is one of the best H.O. systems......KB is nice too!

Lethal Performance has several Whipple packages... and yes intercooled (H/O).

and +1 from what I have seen... usually guys with similar amounts of boost as me are pushin ATLEAST 10-20 rwhp more out of the whipples... its a good kit.
