Hi everyone,
OK, let's all try to take it a bit easy - and thanks to everyone for their support, as always.
Rafa26 is just very eager to get more out of his Whipple kit, and I can understand that, given how it's calibration looks. I've talked with him several times over the months since he first bought his new truck, and he is looking to open a serious can of whoop-butt on the entire 2004 & up F-150 community, I'd say! It's going to be fun getting him up on the dyno.
Putting a blower that is capable of supplying well over 2700 CFM on an engine that can maybe take 1/4th that much air and live on it's stock components is one of many reasons why it's calibration looks the way it does from Whipple. there are also other issues with all 2004 & newer F-150's that force all supercharger manufacturers who make kits for them to do some very heavy compromises that nobody likes, so we retune a lot of them for people.
I wish I could do rafa right now, but this is one truck that will have to be here on the dyno to do that, and the new shop is not even open to the public yet!!! We've still got a few weeks to get all the desks, chairs, computers, router, switches, wiring, telephones, & other infrastructure in place - then we can start to transfer everything from our present location over to the new shop - and it's not going to be a fun task, I can tell you that!
Anyway, the bottom line is Anita has been working with rafa on this for a few days now, so he's being taken care of.

Anyway if you guys took that wrong i am here to apologize Troyer and Anita in first place and then everybody who read the post. By the way, the 4.56 you asked me was the best change that i did after the S/C, i love it.
Thanks RAFA26. I just have seen several threads get ugly
I didn't think anything was really meant that way. I know that you have to be extremely careful in how you word things here or it is quickly taken into the wrong direction and blown out of proportion. I am looking to get the same parts as you are hopefully, I have 3.73 but I would like to get 4.56. Did you buy them online?? What brand?? and when you have a chance to smoke some rubber with your WHIPPLE, please post. I am sure there are many that are interested in that supercharger as well(including me) try to post some pics. Thanks. Take care
