Default Urgent! 8100 whipple help(maybe T Byrne)

I installed a couple of whipple superchargers on 8100 yukons at the GMC dealer where I work. The 2001 model has driveability problems. When the RPM's get near 3500 the whipple light comes on and flashes and the truck loses power. hooked up a Tech II and the o2's read 400mv or above at wide open throttle, fuel pressure is 64psi, boost guage reads 6 to 9 psi. If I unhook the whipple computer and jumper the required circuits it runs fine with no boost. Does anyone have any suggestions????

I don't get it fuel filters always a problem on GMs? atleast most of their filters are easier to change.

Glad you got it worked out. I was thinking either fuel or something with Whipple's programming.

I am looking to have a supercharger installed on my yukon xl 2500 8.1. Do dealers generally do this work? What kind of warranty issues arise from this? any specific brand of supercharger recommended?
