    Tuning Noob - Whipple Charged - General Questions

    Hey, thanks! I ended up just accepting the fact that I need to run 91. Painful these days, but yeah, I git tired of babying it to avoid pinging. And, I did not rely on the onboard computer for mpg - I calculated it myself. But, turns out, it's pretty spot-on, even though the speedo is off by ~7%.

    Tuning Noob - Whipple Charged - General Questions

    Thanks for all the info! As for the 87/pinging, won’t the computer retard timing to preclude detonation? Or, might the tune prevent this? I’ve had several boosted cars & ran 87 without issue. Of course, they make more power on higher octane fuel, but I’ve never noticed any pinging. With this...

    Tuning Noob - Whipple Charged - General Questions

    First, yes, I know how to search. So many tuner threads, it’d just be easier to ask my questions. Answers should be brief I think… I recently picked up a ‘13, that came highly modified. But, I got it from a dealer (something I never do if I can avoid, but it was such a damn good deal, I had...

    Yeah, it took the beast out yesterday to an area near me (Rainbow Valley) and beat on it pretty hard, even got airborne a couple times, haha. Turns out a wrap 'desert stripes' even easier than paint, lol. The truck is impressive offroad, in about any condition that it'll actually fit in - it's...

    Hello - No, I've never been much of an 'active in X community' kinda person. I have frequented a few different Jeep forums though in the past, but I do not think I ever used this username.

    Antenna Cable / Install

    Awesome. Good info there, thanks! It does have the svt side vents, but I’m pretty sure they’re ‘glued’ in there, as opposed to however they were affixed to the stock fenders. As long as I can find it inside the truck, near the glove box, I’ll be good to go.

    I'd love to chat with the orig owner - have a bunch of questions for him, as related to the build (like, what the hell did you do with the radio antenna cable, and does this thing have an aftermarket cam (cuz she lopes pretty good at idle)?), so I hope that happens... As for the brakes, yes...

    Eh, that rating was stock (and very conservative, as per usual). It makes 400+ RW torque from pretty much idle all the way up, has Deavers and hydro bumps. It'll do 10k all day.

    Well, I've had it for less than a week, and I dont have anything to compare it to (ie, I did not drive it before the SC), so not much to say about it except that it's fing awesome! I'm Only seeing 8-10mpg tho, so that's something... Haha. Love the big power and all the great SC noises - bout all...

    Antenna Cable / Install

    New member here, and first post (besides intro). I've got a strange question - the 2013 Raptor I recently purchased has fiberglass front fenders, and the previous owner seems to have decided to just delete/forego the radio antenna. And, I'd quite like to get radio reception. Not having owned...

    Hello all - just picked up this bad a$$ machine last Friday! This would be my first pickup truck ever - I've had a '98 Jeep XJ (for 20 years), '06 4-Runner (V8), '78 Scout and a '77 Bronco (and a bunch of cars), but this is the first full sized truck. I just needed something that could tow 10k...
