The first time, It locked up on initial start up. The second it was on the dyno fixing to make more power. it was making 28lbs

Wow you're not kidding. That thing ate itself.. Did whipple help you out?

 

[13COBRA]

Eh, @JJackson515 I'd trade for this one too.

yes. they warrantied it out both times. the first time it took a few weeks, the second time I had someone known within car community that had a wide reach help me out. Dustin whipple contacted me the same night and got it taken care of a lot quicker. The service the second time around was worlds better. At the end of the day, I wasnt going to go for a 3rd time with it as we just got done making a deal with Armageddon turbo systems to do R&D on their kit and do their tuning.

Gotcha well atleast they took care of you man. You're going to make more power with the turbo's anyhow

It should definitely make more than the trans can handle.

Did you have to switch cams going from a blower to a turbo setup?

Ripped that Whipple apart! lol

They did not. I dont want to throw shade as they took care of me. With inspecting it both times before I sent it off it looks like the thrust washers/bearings shifted in the front causing the rotors to run into each other.

No. stock heads/cam on both setups. I haven't read really anyone with a GEN 3 switching out heads and/or cams.

The was great customer service. Kudos to Whipple. Your new setup is a great one, and hopefully will thrill you and provide a safe(r) path forward for your KILR Mustang.

I would of liked to go but the whipple ate itself beforehand, so I switched into turbo build mode right away.

Ahhh, it was another orange fury that also had a parachute in the back.
