Rides

Is anyone watching TLC's Rides right now?? They are doing a Whipple installation on 5.4L Expy right now!!

They showed stock rwhp on the dyno..like 176 or something

Then they didn't show the dyno numbers after, but the owner of the vehicle claimed over 450 hp untuned!!

Cool show, Titus was driving the Expy, and commented about the blower whine.

Yeah did you see the speedo pegged and the tach at 2000 rpm??

I'd say thet screwed something up on the install.

But, the whipple is looking sweet!!

That prototype shaker looked out of place though...

I think Titus's #'s are a Bit Far Fetched!

Yeah...The Whipple guys were guessing 200 stock and around 400 blown...but the only showed the stock dyno numbers...

Even so, doubling your hp is a pretty good deal!!
