Default Anyone Whipple their 5.0 yet?

Has anyone put a Whipple on their 5.0 yet? Figured someone would have something out by now. Really surprised Whipple doesn't have any videos yet. I saw pro charger also has a kit coming out and Roush is scheduled to have something late summer early fall this year. Hoping Roush will step it up this year b/c the Whipple is pricey but I think it would produce great numbers. I've given up on turbos for the 5.0..closet thing would be the procharger. What have you guys done to increase performance of the 5.0?

$8k for 650hp doesn't seem too bad. Trying to talk the fiance into it. She's like "you want to pay for it, go for it"

it's her truck...

I actually have the kit sitting in the floor and trying to decide if I want to put it on or not. Now considering selling the truck and get a GT350
One thing about them is they are complete because you get the fuel rails and injectors and fuel system( helper) heat exchanger ect.....

No... not yet anyway. Magnuson doesn't even make the kit for the 11'-14' anymore, and I doubt they will make one for the 15'.

The Whipple is very tempting, but until I actually have a 15' I can't buy one.

I'm kinda waiting to see what roush comes out with the Whipple is awesome but im betting the roush will be a good chunk cheaper and either one can push the stock block to the limit

The factory exhaust manifolds are so improved over the 2014 5.0 I doubt they would be worth the money
