Spoke to the receptionist, spoke to the sales guys, spoke to the tech guy, got e-mails returned from them and from their main distributor...and I didn't even buy it from them or imply that I would.

No complaints so far. If that changes I'll post that up too for any future buyers.

Ha and I thought I was the only one that got the receptionist when i called. I am remember when they were going to come out with the 5 liter blower. I was ready to buy one. I think it was 2 years later it finally came out. Had decided on turbos by then LOL

I really have no idea what to expect from the truck as I am not very aware of what times the similar TVS2300 trucks are running.

I'll try to get an install thread up in a couple of weeks and once things are sorted out with it we can try to meet up at a car show or maybe the track one evening so you can take a closer look.

Congrads on being the first and please keep us posted.
Did they have a unit in stock or built to order.

I don't see any prices on their website.
PM me with the cost if you don't mind.

I believe it is built to order. I paid on Thursday, it shipped out to my dealer on Monday, and we should be expecting it in by Friday.

Considering going with a CTSV fuel pump after I see what all comes in the kit so I may wait a little on the install until I get that in hand.

Well, Whipple came back with some contact info for a small tire shop in the midwest that has installed one of these on a similar truck. I won't be the first which isn't a big deal, but we'll see if I can give some good feedback and open some peoples opinions a little more.

If things don't go well, then we'll all just learn from my mistakes.


Before making a thread after the install. I ordered my headers and whipple last Thursday and 8 days later went to pick it up. The packaging looks good and the small details to aid in installation already make me happy. I'll dig deeper into it over the course of next week after installing the exhaust this weekend.

Teaser photo.
