Default Is $5200 Best Whipple HO price?

Must spend the rest of my grandparents retirement money before they waste it on medications and visits to the doctors. So the HO Whipple package will be be purchased before the weekend. I was quoted $5200 shipped. Decent deal or is there better? Remember I want my grandparents to feel proud of my fiscal prudence.

Is it a tuner HO kit or complete HO kit? If its a complete kit that is that is the best deal I've seen. Normally the complete kits cost 5900-6200 bucks.

I'd like to see your receipt after you purchase it because that price is unbelievable.

That's a dealership price... HOLY HELL!!! PM me with the details too please...

Not sure about the FRPP Tuner though... I think I would like the SCTII or something. which might be the price difference there... hmmm....

There is no sct tuner available with the whipple. You fill out a voucher after you get the kit and mail it to whipple or ford racing and they send you the flash tool with tune loaded.

I'm hoping I can put on the voucher that I have 4.10 gears. I allready have a Xcal2, but I read when they first started selling the kit you had to send off your pcm to have whipple reflash it like the saleen kit. Someone then tried to use their sct tuner to change parameters on the whipple tune and the car wouldn't start afterwards. I'm pretty sure the whipple tune changes your pcm code somehow.

I never did get a straight answer on the 4.10 gears. I also want my TCS turned off in the tune and i'm sure they won't do that so i'm just going to get it dyno tuned.

You could still use your SCT III, but not with the whipple tune. You would have to take it to a tuner that uses the SCT, and that place can make a tune for you.
