At the rear wheels, unbelievable. I would drive a couple hours to sit in the passenger seat of an F150 with the Whipple.

If you make it to Vegas in March, drop me an e-mail. Whipple is in Fresno as well, and I'm sure they have a test vehicle at their facility.

I'll be getting mine installed at a shop in Vegas that has a dyno. I'm planning on doing a before and after dyno comparison. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 375 at the rear wheels, being that I have a 4X4 supercrew with heavy rims, and a few extra bolt ons that added some weight. I guess we'll see... but not soon enough!

I hope you see 375 too.. but I HIGHLY doubt it...

The number you see on their test mule are just for advertising... not real-world #s. Don't set your hope TOO high.. it only hurts worse when the truth comes out...

I'm not trying to be rude.. just don't want you to get broken hearted.

Will you still be in town in May? I am going to be there from May 7th - May 13th and would love to see/feel/hear a F150 with a whipple on it. It may persuade me to get one...$6K is a lot to drop without knowing what the out come would be!

Yes, I'll be in Vegas from April 29th to May 15th, then I'm hitching a 7X14 enclosed cargo trailer (in red of course ) to the truck with all of our stuff in it and moving back to Alaska for good. One other reason I'm getting the supercharger is the 3,600 miles of driving with a hefty load.

Drop me an e-mail before you head to town, I'm sure we can hook up.

khendrix, I won't be disappointed if the numbers come lower than 375, but I'm hoping for it. My satisfaction will be on the overall feel, not the numbers.

Sounds great...I deffintly will. My good friend Amy Boylan is president of Shelby Automobiles Inc (Carrol Shelby) and as I am sure you know thier facility is located in LV. If shes in town that week I am going to line up a behind the seens tour of the facility...maybe we could get together then if your interested. I am hoping there will be a GT500 there I can get a test drive in...or at least get to meet Carrol Shelby if he is there.
