14,489 so far. Stage 1 Whipple from the day it was delivered to me. No issues whatsoever. I’ve taken it on 3 - 1000 mile road trips in just over a year. Performs great. The only complaint is the 10-speed sometimes hunts for the right gear. I can live with that!

8k on my car, 3k with stage 2 whipple with 3.5" pulley, 2" Kooks long tube headers, steada H-pipe, whipple open air filters, catch cans, MGW shifter, Roush coilover kit. Had an issue recently where the power was cutting out when I went WOT and sometimes no throttle response for a few seconds. Turned out the whipple wire harness went bad and wasn't letting the coolant flow into supercharger and cutting off the power. My shop changed the harness and said this has happened before. Now its back to a ripper.

Catalytic converters?
What do you run for fuel with that 3.5" pulley?
What sort of oil temperatures did you see before and now after?

Whipple guys, does the dashboard display of your inlet air temperature change drastically after adding the Whipple?

No cats, I run 93 with 1 can of boostane added to 10 gallons of gas. Can't really say on oil temps. My car (performance pack) came with the oil cooler so dont think there is much of a difference

I data logged my car (Whipple Stage 2) on October 15. Ambient temperature during the log was 75 degrees F; beautiful day for a short cruise. I started the data log after driving the car calmly for about 10 minutes. Once the data log was started, I drove for another 15 minutes, driving part throttle, "stop n go" driving, partial WOT pulls, and WOT pulls from 3rd-7th gear.
The log showed that Air Charge Temperature (ACT), the temperature of the compressed and cooled air that’s actually entering the cylinders, averaged 76.2 degrees. Minimum temperature was 73.5 and maximum was 80. During hard acceleration, ACT always dropped 2-4 degrees during the pull.
Whipple’s intercooling system is keeping intake temps close to ambient. I should note that I am running the standard whipple cooling system. I would assume that running dual intercooler pumps and an upgraded heat exchanger would net better results.

Sorry, I didn't answer your question: The dashboard display of IAT didn't change drastically, which is why I data logged to confirm (among other reasons).

Both answers were useful, thank you.

So one can of $12 or $22 or $34?
Because on a 16 gallon tank, and a 2-3 tankful track day, that could definitely add a significant sum to the cost.

I mix a 32oz can with 10 gallons of 93. I run the car down to just below the halfway point between 1/2 and 1/4 tank and that allows me to put in the can and 10 gallons and yes the shit ain't cheap. I buy the 8pk of cans for like $150.

11500 km, got my whipple stage 1 installed at 7400 km or so, and my drivers side cat is done. P0430 codes and my one tailpipe is white. I always ran 94 octane from major retailers here.
I wonder if it was switching to the winter blend of gasoline that did it in. Car seemed fine previously. No track days, no burn outs.

Why would a winter blend do it?
Nobody is having these issues without forced induction. This means forced induction did it.

I mean to say maybe the winter blend accelerated its demise. I accept fully that forced induction played a role. The whole reason I bought the Ford Performance whipple kit is because there was supposed to be some kind of planning and safeguards in place to not lunch my motor and its federally required emissions components.
I think its outrageous the cat died in 4k kms, like, a single oil change. Yeah I had fun with it but christ.
