Default ***Gotta love that power***

Hey guys, just wanted to share a little story/review about the Whipple HO kit. Our shop has two Whippled GTs, one with 483rwhp and the other with 561rwhp. Ernie (shop owner) and I took a drive up to the LA area from San Diego yesterday with the two rides. I was in the convertible (483rwhp) and Ernie in the coupe (561rwhp). As some of you know, my car is only rated at 301rwhp so this was a nice step forward . The convertible is daily driven and gets driven HARD everyday and in everyway on a stock motor (20K+ miles). The intent of this thread is to inform those on the fence or debating between blowers that the Whipple is an ungodly machine. The power is INSANE and I feel that no mustang should be N/A . It is surprising how reliable the car can be with that much power. Kudos to Whipple and their kit!

Just a reminder, we are discounting all Whipple products for the month of April!!!

Well after driving in that car all morning, I wanted nothing to do with mine when I returned [:@]. I hope to get my blower in a month!

I would like to one day supercharge my stang, but I'm concerned that it might be a bait-and-switch like lowering is....meaning....you will need to upgrade so many other things if you decide to go F/I.

Do you know of anyone who did a Whipple only? No clutch upgrade or anything else? If so, how'd it hold upwith the added horses?

Mickey - such a tease!! I, too, thought that you had finally installed your Saleen when I saw the title. Then I realize you're posting about Whimples..

The convertible is Whipple only. Just lowering springs, wheels, bodykit, LCAs and panhard....no upgraded clutch or built engine. Very reliable!
