Well, it sounds like getting a Whipple in the near future is just a pipe dream.

You could probably install a complete turbo kit before Whipple is pumping out blowers again.

Compressors are their core competency. If they can't produce to meet demand, then as a company they are seriously deficient. Sounds like they need to pickup some licensees worldwide and get production up.
1. There are a TON more manufactured cars/trucks than previous running Superchargers.

2. Tim, Empty your PM at NLOC.

Do like most American companies and transfer the production to China. I am sure they will figure out how to pump out thousands of them out per day.

Just got off the phone with Whipple myself.
I called inquiring about a kit for my Pimpalanche. They said the earliest they would ship anything would be October! They claim ALL their kits are ready to ship, just waiting on rotors. Kinda sucks. -Mat-

You are completely reading into my post wrong, but with your quintessential response I don't really care wtf you think now.

What's a predictable response is the obvious reason you even searched, which was due to the initial post about this on the NLOC. Your information is nothing more than inflammation; you are the one adding fuel to the fire wassailing it on all the sites you frequent.

Do you even think about things before you post?
You should really **** and go back and sit on your think tank, as you certainly haven't brought any true tech to the table in years. All you seemingly do online is start ***** with everyone who doesn't agree with your self-perceived intellect. Sorry, but halfass lawyering doesn't get your clients off, nor your *** either.

Whipple has a lawsuit. I bet the company in Sweden has a countersuit, too. We really don't know all the info except that Whipple can't get rotors. Maybe, Whipple screwed something up....and did something wrong...who knows?????

My question is this

EVERYONE is using Superchargers on Production Cars now, WhyTF is so hard to get frigging rotors ??? You'd think by now someone else would have jumped in and bought a got dam machine or ten and start producing Rotors for everyone, or even just start an aftermarket Rotor Company themselves.

I'd be willing to bet my last breathe of air that Company would be an overnight sucess.

Schitt maybe Vinnie can foot the bill and I'll do it myself

This is getting rediculas, I was told by my Salesperson at Whipple last month the problem would be taken care of by the end of this month, Oh let me guess, 2 more weeks....

There is no countersuit in the suit referenced above (they may have grounds for one, but they would not bring it while they are trying to get the case transferred to Sweden). But the point is well taken -- there are two sides to every story.

You are delusional. Your previous non-informative post had nothing to do with it.

Twin screws are difficult and expensive to manufacture. Long-term reliability certainly insn't anywhere near to roots type blower as many have experienced on this board. I have personally put 350K on a well maintained Eaton in one of my cars. I have yet to see a twin screw get anywhere near that. Mercedes Benz currently uses twin screws in all their AMG products and regular MB blown products have the roots type. All AMG products are going back to roots type blowers in the next 2 years mainly due to long-term reliability and therefore cost reasons. Now, doesn't that say something?
