I had no idea whipples were so ****ing awesome! I already feel my EB is fast with 374 hp, id be crying and laughing like a lil girl if i had double that.
Dynos will also vary a ton and tbh 30hp off of 727 is not really that bad is it?
If you're lucky it will have 725 hp. A friend of mine bought a 727 hp Mustang from them and had it shipped to Maine. He had it dynoed and it was almost 30 hp low. He took it to a performance shop, they dynoed it and confirmed it was low on hp. They changed injectors and some other stuff and dyno tuned it for 750 hp.

Sounds like the used that as an excuse to do some upgrades and get a little more aggressive with the tune.

I guess it was to him, he was pi55ed because he didn't get what he paid for. Having it on 2 different dynos confirmed it wasn't 727. It was easier and cost about the same to have Batten Motorsports fix it than to ship it back to Ohio.

You will realistically get high 500's to low 600's whp on a truck that claims 725-775 crank hp.

$40,000 is about what I have in my 2018 Regular Cab FX4 with a Stage 2 Whipple. I did the Whipple install myself. The truck alone retailed for almost $39,000 and the retail price of the Whipple stage 2 was $8200. That is over $47,000 full retail. I got a great deal on the truck for just under $32,000 before TTL. I bought the Whipple for $6970 (total) when Beefcake ran a 15% off sale.
The Whipple that is rated at 725hp is the stage 1 which is cheaper and uses the stock throttle body. $40,000 is not a bad price for never having to shop price or turn a wrench but it is a 2wd. 4wd is the way to go if you are going to install a TVS (Roush or Edelbrock) or Whipple supercharger. Traction is not a problem with 4wd on street tires. Just an FYI.

I also purchased my truck through a dealership similar to Lebanon. Beechmont ford. Lebanon kept giving me the run-around but that's a different story for another thread lol. I feel pricing is pretty comparitive to what you can do on your own. As long as you're comfortable realizing you're spending an extra $1-2k to have them install it for you. Convenience costs $. I honestly doubt there's much money to be made at the dealership. It's soo easy to price check online nowadays. It's all about volume for these guys. They probably make more money banking on extra addons since they will charge retail value.
For anyone interested in doing one of these turn key packages, i say go for it. Just do your homework.

Beechmont Ford is where Terry "Beefcake" Reeves sells cars and trucks. I think he spearheads the modded vehicle program there besides having his online business. I know he sells a lot of superchargers.
