That has the coolest sound! Wow!! Has allot lower pitch whine than the Whipple on my friends Silverado. Thanks for the Vids.

The Whipple sounds like stock right now when below 2500 rpm. At around 2500 you start to get the low spool that builds like a jet engine spooling up. To me it sounds like an apu cranking. The sound is not high pitched. It is more like a deep hum that you can feel.

That will change when we add the headers and cam.

Cool sound. I think the blower whine will get more defined when you install a CAI. This build is just clean, clean, clean.

Looks like a low flying figher jet to me.

My decision has FINALLY been made...

....now I just need to act on it before I change my mind...

Congrats on a SWEET build...

Okay, I hate to see bad info passed. Here is the response from Mike at Whipple who is our point of contact.

I keep seeing 2 issues pop up. The gears and the jack shaft. First Whipple had 10 preproduction units made for testing and evaluation. Mine is one of them.

When they sent the units to production they found the original batch of gears were too tight in tolerances which led to gear noise. Therefore, they had to pull those units and reproduce the gears. That was the initial delay.

They now have the production gear issue solved. Once the new gears went in there was an issue with a resonance from the hollow carbon fiber jack shaft. It would create a high pitched noise at certain rpms. It's supposed to be quiet. So the decision was made to swap to a solid jack shaft.

These decisions were made to prevent any problems for customers. Whipple will not ship production units until they pass final testing. This is a good thing. Those of you waiting, rest assured Whipple will not bring an inferior product to market. Hopefully, this answers your concerns.

I'll buy a noisy s/c for a cheepear price if everything else is working just fine.

furthermore after installing the headers and the cold air intake are you planing on make a dyno pull, I would like to see these numbers first before the cam install. I don't think I'll be pulling my motor to install a cam unless I'll be forging it.

I am hoping for the same thing. Reason being I`m not running a cam either. I think more people are going to have headers, exhaust, and a CAI already and then adding the Whipple than those running a cam and bolt-ons or are going to stay completely stock w/ just the whipple.. These are the numbers I really want to see and i think most people are in this mod structure who are pulling the trigger for the whipple.

So Tim if you could run it even just on your dyno w/ the CAI, headers and exhaust before you put the cam in would be awesome and let us know what the boost level it is would be great.

I'd like to see it this way too.
