Regarding the warranty, you would think it would still be in tact for the driveline being that Whipple and Ford Racing kept the 99mph speed limiter on their stock tune. If they are going to limit the abilities of this supercharger, then they should honor their warranty, but I doubt I will have much luck with that. If and when I do need warranty work, I will argue that fact. The whipple superchargers will soon be available through Ford Racing certified dealerships, so again, I'd imagine that there is arguement to have the warranty honored. It will more than likely be a fight to get anything related to engine or driveline warrantied though.

As for the intercooler, it already comes with one. It also has the Fluidyne heat exchanger. This thing cranks out nearly 40-50 extra ft/lbs. or torque over any other supercharger I've seen advertised, and you can feel it. Once I get the driveshaft loops installed, and get a tune to remove the speed limiter, I'm fairly certain I will be at least 380rwhp.

Ford Racing worked directly with Whipple to develop and tune this supercharger. Whipple had been working with Lysohlm for years, but parted ways with them and is making these all on their own. These are built in the good ol' USA.

JJG, that is the reason I picked up the supercharger while I was down in Vegas. We are moving back to Alaska in May, and I don't know of anybody back home that is capable of doing the install.

 

How do you find a place that could install a supercharger?? My best friends dad drag races I'll probably just ask him where he thinks to go.

 

That's sometimes the best way to go, ask your buds and pick their brains. You might also try contacting Whipple and see if they have any distributers or installers in your area.

 

Thanks man!

 

Fairbanks, Alaska...I don't see your block heater plug/extension cord!

 

It's there. I have it zip tied to one of the front tow hooks. I also have a battery heater, tranny fluid and oil pan heater to go with the engine block heater. I'll even have to change the pully to a larger size when it dips below -20F.

Gotta love the cold! :santa:

 

That's way to cold to drag race in! man you couldn't grip for doo doo!

 

At least half the year anyway. I was up there a couple of weeks ago, under the snow packed roads, was ice!

Man...with all the heaters, you probably need a separate electrical sub panel 'cause the current draw.

 

I just purchased a set of Lincoln Mark LT rims to exchange my old FX4 rims for winter use. I doubt I'd get much traction now with the 22" pirelli's in winter. The roads are icy about 4 solid months of the year December-March. It can get that way easily from October through April though.

Usually we have a separate panel for the head bolt heaters that we plug the trucks into. Since it is located outside, and prone to the elements, it is best to have it on its own breaker in case moisture pops it. Other problems can be running an extension cord and having a plow pull it out, and the most common issue, people forgetting to unplug their cars! I've seen numerous cars dragging a 50 foot extension cord behind them over the years. Those things fly around like a pissed off snake.

Jon, What were you doing in Fairbanks?

 

That's funny.
I come up a couple of times a year for meetings for work. Fairbanks, Anchorage, Valdez etc...
