I fail to see your argument, but then again neither has ANYONE else when you've ranted and raved in EVERY whipple thread. Just sit back enjoy your KB and then cry when you get your *** handed to you by a whipple truck.

Go ahead and keep downing the number 1 performance blower in the lightning market...

Who knows if that's even the case, but regardless, I'm just tired of 35th pony.

I think kb owners flip out a little quick over other blowers. Not just the whipple, the MP gets it too. Anyways, i've been waiting on the whipple to come out also, i want as many blower options as possible so that when i upgrade, i can get the most streetable, reliable, power making blower out. I personally hope Whipple blows KB's out of the water, and that isnt because i dont like KB's, it would be my blower of choice, its just i want more performance for Lightning's in general. Who doesnt want to see a new blower that performs great???? You'd be crazy to say otherwise. I think brand loyalty gets a little exaggerated in here due to personal bias. I say, if its works it works, who cares what names on it.

plus, don't you think the install instructions would be done if the only hold up was compressors... Keep believing in lies :santa:

Do you not realize that the works that Sal ran on his 10.48 pass, and that Dale was running even lower into the 10s was a Whipple blower?? How about when Sal was on a pass but his crank broke.

I don't get how you have this close mind towards whipple already. Who HASN'T waited for a performance product. And why would it take any longer to install a whipple than a KB.
You have no argument, your bias is simply making you think that you have one.

But that wouldnt be your normal "I run full weight so F anyone else that doesnt", "thats not a real lightning anymore", "If I took out my pimp stereo, I would have run better", "Would, coulda, shoulda" attitude that you have.
Quick question, do you consider Ralph's 8 second Gen1 a real Lightning? Even if you dont, you still need to respect him for what he has done and thats the real problem most people have with you and some of the other youngin's, you gotta give respect before you get it.
I apologize for the rant, but it gets really old watching you bring down the community as a whole.

Damn wave, didn't think I could get under you skin this much... It is working... notice you are the one that got this to where it is.... I usually make one or two posts and move on, but you are taking this so personally that I must

Ralph's Gen1 is no longer a lightning to me, nope, but you're right I do respect what he's done, as I recently stated.
When have I EVER said that if I removed weight I would run better, when did I EVER complain that people would beat me, and WHERE did I put down the KB in this thread, I just agreed with the kid who said who cares what name is on it.
Stop pointing fingers are me, if you have something to say you know how to get ahold of me and you know what tracks I frequent.
BTW, who ****ing cares if they used Nitrous, so does Johnny and you all jock his nuts.
