Guys...
This BS has to stop. Just because product delays exist, doesn't mean they lied to you!
HOW MANY TIMES HAS WHIPPLE POSTED ON THIS BOARD GUARENTEEING DELIVERY?
I'm on here every day and haven't seen one yet. It's just others saying this is what I've heard and now I've heard this yada yada... It's called RUMORS! THen others hop aboard and b!tch and complain about these rumors being false, all leading back to WHIPPLE lied to us.
Odd that RUMORS aren't always true...
I don't know who SHONDA is, nor do I care.

Nor do I know who shonda is or care. Just having some fun, relax. And while I wasn't one of the chumps dumb enough to give them my money (a free loan) only to get nothing but promises in return, they should have never told people when it would be available if they didn't have hard details. When the first rumors came out, I thought it was going to be AWSOME to have another choice to the kb. Now I would never buy one, or atleast not new, if thats how we are going to be treated. I bought a blower that had proven power gains, and proven reliablity, and top notch customer support. Its called Magnum Powers, even if its not the Fastest blower out there, I thought it was the best choice at the time.

Whip -
Why is it that you believe the lightning "community" is being lied to and treated so horribly? What makes the lightning guys so special as to be mistreated like "red headed step children" ?
You do realize that Whipple as NO blowers whatsoever, right? No Marine blowers, no GM blowers, no pontiac blowers, nothing. Lysholm has been jacking them around on delivery. If Lysholm tells them they will have their blowers on xyz date, then thats what they tell the customer. The lightning blower isnt something new that even needs to be proven. This is the same blower (2300ax) that they have installed in THOUSANDS of other vehicles / marine applications without issues. The rest is just castings and adapter plates...
I dont know Shonda and have never even spoken to her, but calling her a Ho, whether you are "playing" or not, is a bit out of line.

Sad part for Whipple is they are so slow to market there are now other proven choices KB, Magnum, Turbo (well early yet but the proof is starting to poke it's head).
I wanted Whipple but it took to long and went with a Pro Turbo kit. It will be here in just a few weeks and others have already started to ship. The Pro Turbo kit is about a 8-9 week wait so I guess you can't win in a limited specialty market, it's just not on the shelve when you want it.

Supercharger Delivery Problems
For Immediate Release: 8/30/2005
Contact: Dustin Whipple, Whipple Industries
Phone: 559.442.1261
Fax: 559.442.4153
To our current and future customers:
Thank you for your interest and continued support of Whipple Industries. As many of you know, were currently experiencing delays in filling orders for the Whipple-Lysholm superchargers. We know this is frustrating to our customers, and we would like nothing other than to be in a position to meet your supercharger needs. Unfortunately, due to problems in its supply chain, Lysholm Technologies was unable to ship us the superchargers that we have ordered for our customers, resulting in significant backorders that began in mid 2004 and escalated through May of 2005. As a result, we are unable to fill your supercharger orders currently and this has resulted in a delay of our release for the much anticipated Ford Racing SC systems such as the 05’ 4.6 Mustang, 04’-05’ 5.4L F150/F250 and the 99’-04’ 5.4L Lightning/Harley kits.
Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to supply superchargers for you that meets our stringent quality and performance demands. Our relationship with many of you goes back years and it saddens us greatly that we find ourselves in this predicament. We have every intention to supply superchargers in the very near future and we have very exciting news that will be released soon. We ask for your continued patience and understanding during this unexpected and unfortunate delay. Should you have questions or need to speak with us, please feel free to contact us. Please stay tuned for more information to be released soon.
Thank you,
Dustin Whipple

Thanks

Sounds more like a hint that Whipple will be introducing a new supercharger that is equivalent to a Lysholm.
