I replied asking if or when a new cal would be available?

I also sent them a link to the video I made when I tried to load the last tune in late November/early December and that was exactly the same as the one last summer.

I got this reply from Whipple on my question as to when.

"I think there is supposed to be another update soon probably by end of this month"

@OCMike I kept thinking I wanted to wait for the next Cal to see how things improved... but I may bite the bullet and just pay the $1149 to get it tuned by Ken.

One question, I guess for everyone... when Whipple comes out with a new Cal how does that work with Ken. Do we pay a modification fee if we want him to redo based on the the updated Whipple Cal or is not even really necessary?

Yeah...I'm about there too, thanks for asking those questions....I would like to have the headers and exhaust finalized first. Also I got hit hard this week with work. Plus I dropped my phone and broke the screen, so I was incommunicado for a couple days. It worked but couldn't see anything on it so I had to go to the truck and read texts and get voicemails, very inconvenient. I've had a Smart phone for 15 years. first time that's ever happen so my number finally came up. I replaced the screen and back in business.

I have 1/2 the money spent already because I already bought HPTuners and the credits.

Once Ken tunes the truck there are no advantages to updating the Whipple tune. HP tuner software starts with the Whipple tune and allows the tuner to change most things in the tune.

I don't know what Whipple could change about their tune to need to start over. All performance and transmission settings can be done by the tuner.
