GEN 2 Whipple Stage 1 Kit Feedback Thread!

In my opinion take it to the dealer you bought it from for all of the service requirements will be your best chance for them to work with you if there’s a problem. Other than that it’s a crapshoot .

Hey all!

Did anyone else requesting the update not get a APP.LDR file? The past time I requested an update, they sent me one. Just checking before I try to tune!

Per Whipple Support:

“Don't need the app file anymore, the BIN file has that embedded in it so it will update to firmware 6049 (shown on top of screen) once you power up with new BIN file.”

Question for all you guys running the Whipple kits. Have you actually seen the 90 degree drop from stock that Whipple says you get with their Intercooler? I’m trying to settle on an aftermarket Intercooler and everyone else who makes a stock location replacement is saying their temps drop 40-60 at most. I don’t get how Whipple can drop the temperature so much. Even larger sized bar Intercoolers don’t come close.

I’ve seen maybe a 10° change in maximum heat soak temperature

from their website it says

• Over 100deg F drop in temperature during torture testing steady state

you'd have to know what their torture test involves, but I've had S/C cars before and yes heat soak can be a huge influence after multiple runs - so I could definitely see that you could get a huge difference in temps once the truck has been hammered a while...
