I don't have the tuner kit but I do have a Whipple. Love it for instant boost and good low end TQ but trying to put it down is hard when you make full boost at 1500rpms.

I can also tell you this, Whipple's customer support really sucks. They offer little to zero help or assistance with their products.

The tuner kit looks good for a bolt on and go approach but honestly I prefer a turbo myself.

I'd really rather not say but I can tell you it's more expensive than a blower. Thanks for the compliment also. Don't want to say superchargers (Whipple) are bad but turbos definitely have more advantages in my opinion.

THE BOV!!!!! just to name the most obvious, bigger CFM at same PSI, capable of max boost sooner....... I think i will just go w/ a custom STS set-up on a 60-1 turbo... that is if i dont get the laughing gas bugg......
