Where'd the Whipple go

I know Vinnie got it. I know JDM is supposed to be doing something with it. But it's been like a month and the shop has a dyno, where's those numbers? What's going on with this thing. We're starting to assemble the longbock 2 weeks?

I actually visited Jim tonight and saw the Whipple first hand. I will let Jim disclose any info he may want to but from what I saw it really looks like a home run and it's proving itself on the dyno even with a big pulley and a wuss tune. That's all that is coming out of my mouth. Jim is really like a mad scientist in his lab

Whipples seem to be a bit hard to come by these days. It's the same reason the new Shelby GT500 has a HEaton bolted on top.

Maybe itll be the first 10 sec truck with this particular kit too....

We have the blower fitted and perfect the way we want it. There were a few things we had to do with V's truck to get it the way we wanted it. Now its ready for some dyno time. Its hard because we have 2-3 dyno appts per day along with massive shop work to begin with, right now there are 13 Lightnings in the parking lot and 5 misc fords !

Hey Mike your truck is actually running man, sounds pretty sweet too.

We have the 2.3 on V's truck. Just made some numbers similar to his kb setup still set on mild however. We may try and get a video and a graph up today.

Plus I'm getting bored scaring the little kids and old people around the neighborhood by myself. Did you get the 3.250 pulley as well Jim?
