Sounds real healthy. Are those final tune numbers?

So a 200 RWHP gain? Jesus.
How much boost?

Not sure if those are final, and they haven't told me boost levels yet.

Yep 204 rwhp gain

i keep thinking how something like this will run in the 2015 aluminum body truck.

no doubt it hauls in the truck as tested but minus over 500 pounds. wonder why it took them so long to bring this to the market?

The 2015's also have better heads and cams. Trust me, those are making great power, then the addition of the weight savings, those trucks will be monsters!

The reason for the long delay is the old design of whipples with the rear feed, there wasn't enough room to make them fit. The new front feed system allows for better placement. You now don't have a huge cast intake making a 180 degree turn behind the supercharger.

Their price online is 7500. That is out of my league unfortunately. But, I can dream.

Make those dreams happen!

I know easier said than done, but there is always a way.

If 7500 is the total cost to get it done then its probably not really that bad. I mean that is +/- 36 dollars per HP. In the grand scheme of things that is very good.

As far as I know, yes, that is total cost, comes with everything you would need.

Wow I paid 4750 for my Whipple. 7500 is way to much, that's just stupid. No way can it stay that expensive for long.

for $7500 I'd rather turbocharge than supercharge

I paid my Roush $3750 on sale directly from Roush (was $6000)

I got it directly from a Ford racing authorized ford dealership. This was like 6 or 7 years ago. Brand new.

It is definitely steep, and more than the others on the market now, but you get what you pay for.
