Question What About Whipple?

Everyone talks about a Radix here, but how does the whipple charger compare? I've heard it is a great SC if you use different electronics and not the electronics the whipple comes with.
What do you guys think?

Whipples are great chargers. Their great downfall is that they don't have an intercooler available and radix does.

Also, it would be hard to beat the service provided by Brian (BlownChevy) and Magnuson here on the boards. Definitely something to consider in your decision-making process.

Just out of curiousity, what do you guys do with the elctronics and injectors that come with the Whipple? Maybe I'm misunderstaning what people are saying, but I think I've read that people are scrapping the hand held, and the two injectors that come with the unit and are going with 8 42# injectors, and a tune (Nelson's, Wester's, whatever). So can you buy the Whipple without these parts and save some money, or do you just have to suck it up and pay for everything twice?

You can order the SC alone from whipple, and not purchase the entire kit. On the other hand...The new whipple kits will come with larger injectors and a tune instead of the craptronics.
