The rotors were contacting the case and rubbing themselves(rotor timing off). Hence, the Whipple eating itself.

Sounds EXACTLY like the KBs when they first came out.

When I went a 10.66, it only took a half of degree out.
For 20 psi, what's your puley setup? I have a 8lb lower and planning on replacing the Whipple stock upper with Whipple 3.000 pulley I'm currently reading 18psi with the Whipple stock upper and 8lb lower.

i run an 8lb lower and a 3.25 upper and see 20psi with mine

ported stage 3 heads, long tubes and stage 3 cams

I also have a 3.0 and a 2.75 sitting on behind the seat for when they are needed. i will prob throw on my 3.5 though for the next 2 weeks til the truck is gone. 20psi on the street is a complete bitch to drive

i can back you up on that hostile

ive done alittle testing as well

the track i race at is known as one of the slowest tracks in the world

the fastest ever boost only time was 11.5 on anyones truck,,,there has been some heavy hitters at this track too,,,,one of them was the fastest lightning in the world for awhile (dale01),,,,,dante has raced there ,,vprpwr,,,nosuprise,,,all of these trucks run 10's,,,,but at lacr they can even come close on boost only

i now have the fastest time at lacr and it was with a whipple,,,,,11.1

and i did it with less pulley then the others,,,,some think im just a whipple chearleader,,well if you run the fastest time at a track,that makes you an instant chearleader,,,lol

And see you got all mad and I was right the whole time

The 1.47 60ft and only a 50shot is what killed the MPH. 6.71@101.8.
