I have had my Whipple for one week now. Really like it. I researched quite heavily, and it seems there are more Whipple's than any other as a "total" number. I have read plenty of good things about the Roush as well. I went Whipple based on more people recommending it, and more power. I will say the tune they send with it is really "fat". I know they have to use it as a universal one, so that greatly limits what they can do. But it flat out sucks. Be prepared to get a custom one. Getting a JDM tune sent next week. Came recommended from the place I got the Whipple from. If that does not cut it, I will just get a custom one from someone here to maximize performance. Also adding headers, straight pipe, and a smaller pulley for more boost. I will keep you posted on the results. The SC alone does make a huge difference.

Sorry did not answer your "other" question. If you want to save some $$, do a CAI and tune. Got one from Mike at 5star. It will wet your appetite and improve things like shift points, and throttle response. You might pick up 25-35 hp. There is definitely a difference in the truck's drivability. You can try that first for under 1k or so. You can do full exhaust from 2500-4k and get a better sound and pick up another 25hp maybe. More expensive for sure and not as much bang for your buck, but the sound is awesome. Then you go SC or turbo and are talking about 9k-who knows, for the (turbo). Those horsepower numbers are not specific, just my experience as I have done all but the turbo. Not finished but will dyno and get numbers after this round of mods. All the numbers I quoted were because I paid to have everything installed. If you do it yourself, you can save quite a bit.
