No.

You Are not concerned about the oil pump gear shattering at high rpm from the vibration of the supercharger?

In most cases, that’s not why the gears fail; also, the supercharger should not cause vibration. If it is, that’s a different problem.

Almost always, a dramatic change in load, like dumping the clutch or launching the car at high rpm while not moving is the reason for failure. Bouncing the rpms off a two step and then launching the car can also cause failure.

The stock gear has no issue spinning at high rpm. It’s the combination of high rpm and sudden load changes that can crack the metal.

OPGs shattering are a hoax. Just don’t hold it on the limiter for 5 minutes straight

No. If it were a real issue then Whipple would include it in the parts package that comes with the blower. Out of the 200+ superchargers that LFP has done my salesman stated not one had come back with a failed OPG.

And if it grenades I’ll pull the engine and build it. It’s not a daily. It will probably see 1500-2000 miles in the next 2 years.

either their tune system is down or they have no idea what they are talking about.

i recommend you go get your tomahawk v2 pull the req file and submit it to whipple and see what happens

make sure you get/ have all the info on that page

They promised the vehicle by 9/9 so if I don’t have it by then I’ll take your advice.

I currently have mine waiting for the calibration as well at LFP. They have been really responsive and have been giving latest updates though, really great folks over there. Hopefully it can get resolved soon..

I have been running a Whipple on my Dark Horse for about 16 months 3100 miles and have been having no problems. Just fun.

Same as @Paul's stable... Had mine since April and have put about 3000km on it with no issues.

How long have you been waiting?

Dropped it off on 08/25. I believe they got everything installed in a couple days, but then this came along on the day they tried to calibrate and tune the car.

Our cars went in on the exact same day.
