WHIPPLE WILL NOT EVER MAKE AN INTERCOOLER FOR US. PERIOD. CASE CLOSED.

All I'm asking is to show some support, maybe copy this onto some other forums,and see what kinda support we can get for this. It's a long shot, but if we can show whipple that there is a market for an intercooled whipple, they might change their tune.

LOL wow, were getting some support. but yes Sierra i agree with you, even tho i am not a huge fan of twin screw SC, you cant argue with the numbers, and the fact of the matter is that intercooling creates more hp, and allows more boost to be run at lower temps, which also creates hp, i mean hell you look at the older magnachargers, they were popular, yes, i would say whipple was at one time more popular, and now that the new radix kit has come out, everyone under the sun is raving about how great it is, the numbers have gone from 40-50% gains to 60-65% gains on the new radix kits from the old magnas. also i think an intercooler is like havin an airbag in a car... sure you may not need it, and if you ever do it may break your neck when it deploys, but you feel safer knowing its there
either way intercooling makes happier drivers. period and those fools at whipple are going to loose business because they are too stupid to realize that this is where supercharging is, and has been going.... damn whipple

Now see, that's the type of things Whipple needs to hear. Texan has the idea... hopefully we can find some more support from everybody else.
Deck, all i can say, you got ur opinion, I got mine.

Id be willing to buy an intercooled whipple. it should be good for us with trucks to have at least two intercooled S/C on the market. it would cause compitition between the two companies and lower prices. Competition between companies is always good for consumers, thats what makes the American economy so great.
come on guys
come on guys

well fellas,this is my idea.
I say we take this thing and make it big... unfortunately this is the only forum that i know of that deals with our trucks. I know there has to be more, i just don't know em. I say that you guys that are members of these other forums to start a similar thread and we get some serious support. We all need to show whipple that there is a serious market for an intercooled kit.
I would leave out the part about competition and lower prices. They might not like that idea of being forced to lower thier prices, and a Procharger is intercooled I believe, so that defeats the competition part. But the phone calls, and constant e-mails is definately what we need.
Texan hit it on the head when he said that Whipple is gonna lose money because of this. In the thread where I got the quote from, "Which SC is best?" somebody even said, "I'm definately going with the radix now." Whipple needs to realize this,and if we can bring this to their attention, and show them how incredibly stupid they are being, we might be able to change somethin here.
Oh yea and Deck, let me rephrase myself, you have your opinion, we have ours

Whipple can suck my nads. I have 2 whipples and if I want an intercooler I will make my own. If I have to buy another kit it will be a Radix. I am not going to support a company who has treated me like they have. Now, go take that to them.
