Whipple Supercharger Install '17 2500hd 6.0L

[Biggerdogg01]

Hi Larry,

 

Boy, that answer sounds so familiar. I ended up purchasing a smoke machine and found no leaks. It was all in the tune parameters. I also had the surging at around 2000 rpm, which I thought was a lean condition. The way that I described it to Whipple was I was feeling almost a flat spot in the throttle. I felt as if the engine was starving for fuel at this point. When I data logged a test run, it showed that I had very high fuel trim levels. I never really got rid of this condition with the assistance of Whipple. I experienced either extreme changes one way or another from them. 

 

My suggestion is to contact my tuner. Ted Jannetty at Jannetty Racing made so much power, it was night and day difference from Whipple. Whipples product is awesome, but you have to remember that they are using several tuning programs, and every one of us comes from a different area in the states and each truck has different running conditions. Ted will read your data log and find issues and make changes that will fix your running condition. https://jannettyracing.com/, tell them Randy sent you. He will email with you with no problem.

Any updates on this??

Curious on the cruise control if that was or could be fixed via tuning? Kinda doubt it with vacuum controlled. My old 2nd gen dodge diesel with vacuum cruise hated bigger injectors and such and would surge rendering it basically useless as well.

heres a guy with a 2.9 Whipple on a 2500HD. I want to see your video!

Why does a 6speed 6.0 with a massive 2.9 whipple not seem much faster than a bone stock w/tune 6.2

I believe that hd in the vid is also lifted and turning 35’s or 37’s....forget which size

I wondered the same thing; guessing it’s due to the lighter truck with a 6.2 that puts out power in the same ball park as the Whipple numbers posted earlier. I like the idea of a clean supercharger install on a new truck; however at the cost of entry, you lose not only your warranty, but also most of the cost advantage over buying a diesel to begin with.

If a whipple on an L96 only makes what a 6.2 lays down it has something seriously wrong with the setup.  That said these will be very mild so who knows.  The truck will be a 1000 to 1500 lbs heavier minimum which accounts for most of it.

Eh I’m sure its faster, tough to tell by looking at speedos

 

also for that 0-60 run, it was on a cool night, I had nothing in the bed, and an 1/8th tank of fuel. Basically perfect conditions.

Interested to hear how this setup turned out?

I just installed on my 15.  He did a road tune with wude band.  Wouldnt fit on dyno.  Normal driving shifts great. Go half way it holds 3rd really long and shifts weird.
