That is exactly what they are doing. They have procured blowers from another source.

I just want one and I'll wait, it's this or a 76mm hairdryer)

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
Vice President, Whipple Industries, Inc.

wow

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...
It is completely mind boggling that a companies buisness is based solely on one vendor. Talk about having people by the *****.

Back orders are one thing, but after a year now? That isn't a backorder. That is project failure, poor marketing, poor management. I'm not saying the end result is poor, but these people are completely ****ed up.

ANYONE inside the Focker Family Circle knows that
Thank god I didn't put a deposit on one of these because Whipple would definetely be OUTSIDE the Tallimeca circle of trust.

Name some additional automotive twin screw manufacturers that they should have been talking to.

there isn't any

There isn't any, that's my point. The fate of this project is in someone else's hands. A couple weeks, ok. A couple months, ok. This project is almost a year off now. Like I said. By the *****.

What else does Whipple do? I hope more than sell supercharger kits.

it looks like they have two divisions in their company: one that makes supercharger kits and one that sues the manufacturers of superchargers for not performing.
