As long as we are somewhere on the list, I can wait.

Either that or a turbo kit

Hey Tim, you seriously bore me... What is funny is you talking about beating a dead horse... Most of your posts are exactly that.. I remember when you were a cool poster,... All you did for 6 months, was post " do you know where the search button is." The only thing I post that can be considered rude is about whipple and you know how to shut me up about it... It is easy... MAKE THE DAMN THING. What is funny is that if Whipple was anywhere near on time, I would have never had a chance to post, and if their two weeks = six months, I wouldn't be able to post about whipple's lies and release dates... What is funny is they have not once come out and apologized and given any where near a real release date.

I apologize if it offends you, I am not an antogonistic person by nature, but Whipple's lack of professionalism in this circumstance really irritates me...


At least Ford appears to be honest about the release date of the 500... And the last thing I am is a cry baby... I am VERY happy with my KB... thank you very much though

i was very tired of 35 pony's comments as well.

but now i am starting to get alittle pissed

back in january i went to whipple office and picked up a ranger blower, i brought 3k cash with me just in case it was ready.

i was disapointed to find out they didnt have any available (not even a used one )

now i am frustrated and might just give in and by the kb


but i know the day i put it on the "WHIPPLE" will be released

For all of our sake then - buy and install the KB so the Whipple's will get released!!

It is getting tiresome.

I think the kenne belle is tested and proven to be a winner. The people at whipple seem to be very unorganized and deceitful. If they are doing this before its released just imagine what they will do if you arent satisfied with the product?.

All of you crying about Whipples poor service have not been around the Lightning aftermarket very long. Should have been here back in 99-00 when it took 4-6 months to get a CAI. Or when 2lb pulleys came out and everyone was afraid you would blow the motor if you ran it, not to mention it took many mony months to get. Oh and let's not forget the infamous M166 blowers that we on the boat in transit 4 years ago. Unless you are out money out of your pockets quit crying. The Whipple is a want not a need. I bet 80% of the people crying about the delivery don't even have one on order anyway. Grow up and learn something about your truck. Now if people have pre-paid in advance and still not getting product those people have a reason to complain. But hey no Lightning tuner would ever do that. LOL

That is my point.... If they want people to quit complaining about their "product", all they have to do is release it... Brilliant idea isn't it... I want the whipple to come out and be a great product, it will make the industry as a whole better to have multiple good products centered around the Gen 2.


Grow up and learn your truck????? What does that mean exactly...

That means your time is better spent working on and learning about your L. All threads like this do is provide advertising for the company in question. Good, bad, or otherwise it keeps their name in front of all who venture in. All Whipple has done is advertise a new product. Hmmm not such a new concept. By doing it the way they have the demad will exceed the initial supply. Which means they will profit immediately rather than laying out big $$ and waiting to advrtise until the product is ready to ship. From a marketing point it is a very smart practice. Ever go to a movie and see a preview for an upcoming movie due to be released several months later??? Same concept. Create a frenzy for the new product. Once released and documented evidence is published the product will carry itself. Until then they need to maintain interest in the new product. Saying they are a "bad" company for doing this is turning a blind eye to the marketing world. Why do auto makers produce concept cars? To get us interested in their products. Absolutely the same principle applies. They tease us with a sneak peak at the future with no definate rease date. Look at it from a marketing perspective and it is very smart. Look at it from a consumer perspective who wants it NOW it sucks. Go back in the archives and try a search under M166. If the threads still exist you may get some enjoyment out of reading them.
