At the rpm level a street engine runs, I don't know if the wipple would benefit me or not.I have read tests that under a certain rpm the wipple has n o advantage on a street driven truck with a stock block.
I'm surprised to hear you say this. My truck has about 140 HP more than stock at 3000 rpm, which is certainly within "street driven" rpm range. Whipple SC @ 10 psi.

On the street, I'd pay more attention to torque than horsepower. I've seen numerous dyno sheets with the Roush putting out 400+ lb. ft. of torque at 2,000 rpm building to over 450 lb. ft. at the peak of around 3,500 rpm. I don't know why the Whipple wouldn't make similar numbers. Higher boost levels and other mods will push those numbers higher as well.

My whipple on my 03 SS Chevy had great torque right off the bottom. It just suffered with no intercooler when it was hot. I got the quote from whipple for this 05 F150 and its $5200 for everything. I'll look into getting a tune from Troyer after I install it. Thanks for all the feedback from everyone. Unless someone knows where to get the whipple SC kit cheeper than $5200 I've made up my mind at this point. I'll post some pic's of the project when I get started.

Yeap. See em run specials for the Whipple around $4200-4900 online. Haven't seen the three thousand mark since jdm ran that special. You will be thrilled with the Whipple. It takes about 20 less hp and a 1/10 of a pound of fuel less to operate the Whipple then it does the Roush @ 10psi and wot. Thats 20 more hp going to the wheels and not being used to turn that ancient Heaton. Power is unreal from idle to redline. I tow a dual axle enclosed trailer weighing 5000lbs with no problem. Go with Troyers recomendations and you will have a screaming truck.

I Just wanted to get some opinions about which SC to choose for my newly rebuilt 5.4L 3V in a 2005 4x4 Lariat SC. I have been looking at the Eforce and Roush but would be open to others if there's something better out there. I had a whipple without intercooler on my 03 SS and it was great as long as it wasn't hot outside. I want a unit with the intercooler this time being here in Texas.
The Eforce dyno charts show a little more HP/TQ than the Roush on this motor and it has a great low profile look but it's a $1K more expensive. Anybody running the Eforce out there yet? My application is just pulling my 22' boat and daily driver so I don't think a centrifical is really suitable for the way I'm using it.
Let's hear everyones opinion. Thanks
