I'm going to use the FRPP tune.

How long have you had your blower installed?

Whipple is an exellent choice in SC.
i had mine on for 2 years, running with VMP and dyno tunes, no problems at all.
the FRPP tune is a good conservative tune, the reason i didn't go with the FRPP tune was bc i already had a SCT livewire tuner so they prorated the SC deal $200 less without the procal tuner.

I'd need to be knocking on wood all day long with the abuse I've put my car through!

Is there any other supercharger company that would do that? Amazing customer service.
I know, I read the thread. The question was if anyone ever blew their engine with a whipple. I let the OP know there was a case of a whipple blower breaking. and I agree, what they did for Mark was great service. would they do it again?

I'm looking at Whipple and the Roush TVS, in the near future. Whipple's history of stock blocks holding up isn't making it an easy decision. Either way VMP will be doing my tuning. Justin knows what he is doing, that's for sure.

off topic, but American Speed, what wheels/tires were you running when you ran that time in your sig?
