Gathering interest for Whipple Stage 1 Group BUY!

https://whipplesuperchargers.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=439

looking for interest for volume... oh, and they're working on a tuner so you don't have to ship in your ECU

gathering interest - would be a certain amount off per volume n# for x%, m# for y%, o# for z% - the more the merrier

I'm not a Whipple employee, just excited to get one and wanted to get a Group Buy Going!



Whipple, known for its industry leading upgrade systems and technological innovations, has now brought the same technology to the 2017 and up 3.5L V6 F150 and Raptors with the Whipple Stage 1 system.

The stage 1 systems couples the Whipple Mega Cooler, roto molded high velocity cold air intake and industry leading custom calibration to make an amazing 150* foot pounds of torque and 70* horsepower more than stock. Even better, at 3500rpm, the system produces over 180 foot pounds of torque over stock giving more power under the curve for incredible throttle response.

The Whipple Monster Cooler offers 54% greater volume and 8% more surface area. The bar and plate type intercooler features offset fin on both the cold and hot side, allowing for increased cooling capacity while fitting into the stock packaging, yet significantly out performing the stock cooler. Test show a 90 degree (F) drop in temperature just on the dyno, yet even bigger gains are shown during real world applications. The colder air allows increased spark advance and more O2 to the engine, resulting in more power while maintaining safety.



The Whipple high velocity air intake system boast the CAD driven, CFD modeled rotor molded plastic air intake that maximizes air speed while reducing inlet restrictions. The air system features the velocity stack gauze those filter with extra wide pleats, giving the air filter the capacity to flow over 132% more air than a stock paper filter.




The Stage 1 system heart and soul is the industry leading calibration. Whipple and it's Ford calibration team worked feverishly using advanced tools to develop a calibration that could maximize power while being legal and safe at the same time. After countless dyno and real world testing in multiple environments, the engineers were able to extract massive levels of torque and horsepower yet maintaining factory type safety settings.

The Whipple Stage 1 system is the first and only 50-state legal Ecoboost complete upgrade package available today (CARB pending), allowing for upgrades in all 50-states. No cutting or grinding required.

 

bueller?

 

WOW! That is pretty amazing! That seems like a big demand from a little 6 cylinder IMHO...

 

I’m in!

 

added you to the list

 

I was looking at ordering this but decided against it. when I spoke to Ford and the Warranty folks about this. They said this would void the warranty.

 

This is exactly the kind of thing I've been waiting for. I'm all about it. Thanks for getting this going, Toadster - hopefully some others will jump in here!

 

Anyone know if the ECU can be reflashed to stock? Based on my experience with other vehicles the answer would be no, and purchasing a new stock ECU is typically not a shade-tree swapout as the controllers are VIN specific. Reflashing would probably also take a willing dealership which could pose another challenge.

 

any dealer would say this about anything not dealer installed...

Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act

 

yes, you backup your stock image then flash - you can then revert back to stock

 

Good luck with that. Ford has more money than you do to fight it in court. It's cheaper for them to fight you then pay for everyone's blown engine from faulty tunes.

 

Yes, but it still shows in the computer.

 

and this is why there's a multi-billion dollar industry for aftermarket....

 

To my knowledge Whipple uses the same Ford process which is different from other tuners - so it looks like a Ford update not an aftermarket update....

 

That law is very specific and designed to protect the little guy from exactly what you are concerned with. Ford would have to PROVE that this modification is what led to the failure of whatever. That is by design not easy to do. Your dealer is lying, this modification can't "void your warranty". Now if you install it and beat the crap out of it and say bend a shaft or blow u-joints they can reasonably argue the modification led to the failure.
