UPDATE: Just returned from a little trip to Mid-Ohio. As my 450 has some turbo issues, I chose to pull a car trailer with the Whipple Raptor. Normal pulling conditions were great. Very little SC whine running 65-75 mph. On ramps, hills and heavy acceleration conditions.... AWESOME! Never...

Yeah, the Raptor is a truck! No Scuderia M16 or 458 (yet) just an ordinary '07 F1 430 spider, but I like it! The R8 v10 is the top performer of the group.

Under heavy heavy acceleration, the whipple is loud. Under heavy acceleration, it is still fairly noticeable inside the cab. Under normal driving, you could have a passenger that never knows you have it in there. My #1 concern was the noise level being too loud. Mine is not, Im pleased.

I surely do not know all the particulars as stated from MTF, but I do know that my Whipple is all that I was hoping it would be.... and more! Anyone considering whipple in NE Ohio area is also welcome to pm me, no problem showing it in person. However, if you don't pull up in a raptor...

Thanks guys, I just wanted to make a post and address a lot of the questions that I had when I was considering the whipple. There are a lot of problematic posts recently, and I think is because of other variables. Wife still gets more tickets in her mini van! Foot drops every time im in...

Stock '10 Raptor extended cab 2500 miles on truck Whipple On for about a week 200 miles driven with the whipple installed. Just wanted to share my initial thoughts UnBoxing: After it arrived, The kit was far more involving than I would have ever expected! Two large boxs, and the bigger...

hmmm, rear springs.... Makes sense, under hard acceleration I'm noticing the front of the truck is light (floating) all the way up to about 90 mph. Where is the post about springs, I'll check it out. Combined with the borla sport cat back, Sound is tough on the highway when cruising at 75-80...

This is the way that every Raptor should be built. Very NICE... Very drivable, great sound levels, great power! I am happy with the fact that you can drive it easy (normal) an you hardly notice its even installed. Getting used to getting the power put down form a stop, even with a little...

Dang, thats rough! Nobody is perfect.

Me too!! I did!

Drive in RAIN, are you nuts! Just kidding.... Rich has done some CRAZY projects and built several trucks for sema, and been on the cover of truckin many times. His work is the best I've seen in at least a 200 mile radius. I believe him when he says this is a very nicely put together kit! He...

The great thing with this is that anyone in the future will see some of the little tips and tricks and problem areas like the rear bolt. Now come on ford racing, lets get the ECU back in our hands! We're waiting... crappy iphone pic

Thanks MTF, Actually, the instructions said to use a little lube on that o ring. After my guy did that and looked again, he greased the heck out of it and then was very attentive to the o ring. Its a tight fit. Thanks to this forum, that was a know issue when he was installing.

Install going very well... well... well... Not really, little hickup with lost ECU, Sent out a unit that was A+ condition (truck has 2500 miles) What was received back today was NOT my ECU! Maybe Monday it'll be sorted out. On another note. The quality of the kit was reported back to me as...

Moodster!!! Rich said he wants to jump the hill in front of his shop to test it out... I told him not to call me! Goosebumps... It was raised a little but it wasnt' on my arms! :o
