currently finishing up the ls3 vette and 2010 camaro kit. then they'll start the f-body ls1 tuner kit. they have pretty much everything, they have cad designs all done and it will be similar to the ls3 kit. just different manifold.

So... is it gonna involve massacring the car like the camaro up there.. or is that just because they haven't designed the different manifold?


If so, I doubt it's gonna get many sales from most people as in the mustang world, I think most people wouldn't want to massacre their windshield/put holes in their hood. At least, thats what I believe, but I may be wrong. The kit would probably only be purchased by the most "hardcore" if it involves cutting up the whole engine bay/hood/cowl/windshield.

theyre focused on what out right now, the new camaro is whats hott. and corvette. and i'm sure w/ the 2010 camaro kit it would most likely fit the G8 gxp. once they finish that up, they will begin finishing up the ls1 tuner kit. will it involve some chopping? i'm sure it will as theres not much room under the cowl to begin with. so i'm sure k-member spacer and some trimming of the cowl will be needed as the current maggie thats out requires it.

Yea, I wouldn't doubt that some chopping will be required for the cowl and different k-memmbers and such as with the maggie kit. I'm sure most people could live with that and would want to do with the reliability and power given by whipple setups, but if it involves new hoods, new windshields, welding the cowl to be higher as shown with the pictures up there, I don't think it's gonna be that popular with most f-body guys, but only time will tell how the kit will turn out. I, for one, hope that the whipple kit will actually be awesome... I've always wanted the low end torque of a whipple, not to mention the awesome whine they produce.

all i know is per Dustin Whipple, president / co owner of whipple, they plan on making an ls1 tuner kit. there plan is to make it low profile so that one doesnt have to make to many mods to an f-body to make it fit. this same kit will most likely work for GTO, Vette, hence a tuner kit. and this is per Dustin.

like i said theyre primary focus is finishing the 2010 camaro and vette kits, then they'll finish up the f-body tuner kit.
