Whipple 3rd party tuning

[SilentShooter]

whipple doesn't provide 3rd party tuning , they have the ford tune that is highly encrypted and you can't have it on you hand held device . if you install 3rd party tune you have to send them the pcm to return it to stock before the new tune. this information is accurate for today i was on the phone with them all morning .

They say that, but the fact is the stock tune on your car is also Highly Encrypted. I know with the mustangs they were still able to pull the whipple/ford tune off the car when you had a SCT custom tuner do it.

I need to chat with one of the Tuners I know or SCT to see if they are able to pull the whipple tune off as the stock tune.

You do know that when you connect your tuner to the car and go to load a tune the first thing it does is break the encryption. That is why it can take a while for a tuner to support a new vehicle or even a new strategy code.

If SCT has broken the encryption for the strategy code they load for the whipple tune then a SCT custom tuner should be abler to tune the car with a custom tune. Just always be sure to return to stock the car and unlock the tuner before sending them your pcm otherwise you will have to send your tuner to the manufacture to be unlocked.

[/COLOR]Has anyone out there used JDM tunes?

I know guys with mustangs that have both mail order and dyne tunes from JDM on Whipple, Roush & Saleen SC cars. Never heard of major issues. Some of teh mail tune guys had to have tunes tweaked after data logging or dyno's but not heard and bad things really.

Both JDM & Lund are great tuners. I know Jared who i an owner of Lethal, met him many years ago when he was just running his Terminator up in Bradenton. He is a true gearhead and stands by what they sell and also met Jim at a few track events and he also is a gearhead and racer who is easy to converse with and takes care of his customers.

right now I'm not satisfy with whipple tune , I'm in the market for new set up with consideration of safety of the engine and state emission inspection .

I would talk with JMD as they are over in Freehold NJ so not really far from NYC

i have no problem with JDM or Lethal , I'm looking for shop with proven results for tuning Whippled Raptor not Mustang . I'm looking to talk to people from the forum who actually has those tunes .

You should go on some of the other boards then where JDM is fairly active. Modular Fords and SVT as they have many threads over the past few years detailing Raptors that were S/Ced that they tuned.

They did post here recently about a Whippled Raptor they just tuned. I would call JDM and discuss with them what you are looking for and since they are local you can easily do a custom tune and be sure its a safe tune

Let me know what you find i have been doing the same. I have not found much as to third party tuning. So far the best i have seen is JDM and Lethal as well as livernois

this seems accurate. I am curious if lethal or JDM can confirm this…

i haven't seen many people who are satisfied with the whipple tune. And from what i have read, as soon they try that third party tune they claim its like night and day difference…Of course we want it safe as well

let me know ,i can stop there any time , they are 30 min away from the city . tomorrow i take my raptor to the dealer to take care of the BCM and then I'm ready for new tunes .

If you have sent your PCM to Whipple for the Tune then yes you need to sent it back to them to have it returned to stock.

Whipple now offers the Tune in SCT format so you can change it out on you own.

Whipple does not offer custom Tunes for custom built engines only for stock engines with or without headers, cat backs and upgraded 68mm TB.

Whipple/Ford Tune is a little conservative and that's the way they engineered it and want to keep it.
And it's the only way to use the supplemental warranty.

Obviously there is much moe potential with the Whipple 2.9 L setup and even greater with a built motor. Time and tinkering will tell the story down the road.

i just talk with Whipple today if they get you tune in SCT they charge $275 for the file .

That's only if you bought the complete kit, I believe if you bought the Tuner kit it's more.
