I don't often have the stereo on but sometimes a nice soundtrack to a quick drive is nice! Problem is I need to crank it up to hear it!........and the subwoofer seems to be rattling badly - not at silly levels - just moderate volume. Is this something anyone else has experienced?? Hopefully...

So car was on the Dyno today. No apparent problems fingers crossed! Made 810hp (imperial so 821hp DIN) at 6700rpm and 950Nm ( 700 lb ft) of torque at 5450rpm (flywheel figures) Roush say this is 90hp more than they would usually see with the previous gen II Whipple (such as the "Mirage 720")...

nota4re I guess we are going off what Whipple themselves are saying the issue is?

Looks like there is a big line forming! Kip better drop that GTX roof and get onto this!!

Back to top!

I'd be interested. Maybe Kip could do the Carbon tube as a short tem fix and the add-on of the full air box at a later date once developed?

Namor, We should know by Wednesday! Hopefully I won't experience some of the maladies afflicting other users? I do think that the first 3-6 moths will be some trial and error as certain components are identified as the weak link in the chain (eg Throttle body, airbox) - but no doubt once better...

Well the Ford Racing Headers, are on - the CAT's removed, the Heffner "bumper delete" exhaust is on - and most importantly the 4.0Litre Whipple is fitted! :banana The Dyno is booked for early next week so lets see how it does! Fingers crossed!! :thumbsup

Cheers Lee, Its already done..............I'm sure I will like it when I see it!

Dustin - thanks for the contribution - it's very reassuring to hear you guys are looking at these problems! I spoke to the my tech today. He came up with a couple of great ideas - "why don't we either fabricate a replacement Alumnium tube....or simply fabricate a really stiff Alloy support...

Yeah - tried that but unfortunatley he hasn't got any at the minute! Thanks!

Guys, HELP!!!!!! Really Desperate for a set of these in BLACK - anyone got a set they don't need anymore or are surplus to requirements that they can SELL me ??.or anyone hoarding any they can spare me a set from until the next run is made??? Thanks!!!!

FUBAR, Can't fault the math - though I suppose you get into all sorts of really high tech issues such as air speed, vortices and laminar flow!! The throttle bodies certainly arent compressible - so if they are the "bottle-neck" then wouldnt it follow that next part of the "chain" would be the...

Still no contribution/comments from Whipple??? Disappointing.............

Guys, This picture has been put up at Pistonheads (a UK car forum) as their picture of the week. Nice picture of the new GT1 specification Ford GT at one of the best circuits in the world - SPA! Downloadable in several sizes here: http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=20480

Just spoke to my techs - they have tried the stock/Accufab combo before and said it doens't work - they were also quite dismissive of the collapsing tube theory and more of the view that there is some sort of secondary issue being created by the 4.0L and its effect on the bypass set up. Has...

Personally I find the Goodyears truly horrible! They are hard and certainly don't grip that well in typical British weather conditions (i.e genrally quite cold and sometimes damp!) By the same token the Michelin SP2's that have been recommended for when I fit non-stock rims are also very poor -...

I think it's well beyond time when Whipple themselves should be chipping in to this debate with some thoughts, comments and suggestions!...it's their product after all! Their silence is concerning! How many 4.0Litres we got on here now so far?

With Whipple selling this as a "Ford GT kit" - how much testing is/was actually done with the 4.0litre "in situ" on the car to ascertain what other modifications and additional components/items are needed to make the S/C work effectivley. Surely it's counterproductive to simply knock out a...

Thanks Mark!! Yes please keep us all posted as it's beginning to sound like we are all going to have similar issues until we come up with a robust solution - I am sure it will all be worth it in the end and we will have the best possible power from a Supercharged GT engine. On another note -...
