Had some fun with the MSHS. car runs very consistent even in the heat and high DA. the little stock engine that could is still going strong. but to be competitive, some changes will be made soon!

that 155 is no joke

3 more slips from the rock. This stock engine build is insanely consistent.

Well sadly the whipple started making noise when we got home from Rockingham. So it’s back off and headed back to whipple.

Wait.... what? Do you have a clip you can post?

you can definitely hear a major difference from when I put it on after the full rebuild until now. Believe me I would rather not have to send it back and continue racing every weekend. But I don’t want it to fail and ruin my engine. Especially not the new engine I’m building.

Sure would think after all this time they could figure out how to fix this

Why don’t the Ls or coyote whipple blowers have this issue? It’s a very similar design?

That was my thought. Is it possible they are and just not hearing about it?

I’ve sent messages to my few buddies with coyotes with whipples asking if theirs sound like mine.

I feel for you guys - that is completely unacceptable! I know Whipple is "the name", but WTF.

 

[jonx96]

The mustang guys even spin a higher rpm. But I saw I think it was ripa tune post they had one fail with a stock pulley last week. Also you don’t spin yours hard. It doesn’t seem like spinning it to hard is the problem

 

[Unholy707]

It’s because whipper rushes to market for dodge, ford is their main market - always has been. Their 4.5 is junk, the 3.0s are junk

 

[Unholy707]

I was excited when I heard about the new gen5, thought ok maybe they worked everything out. Nope.

That rattle sounds horrible, wow. Almost sounds like rotor contact

 

[Unholy707]

It’s probably just the rotors self clearanceing the crap case casting that they didn’t fully machine like my 4.5 did 😅😅😅😅🥲😒😔😑

Sadly I agree it sounds bad for a brand new blower. I’m willing to bet it will be much worse after a few races.
