The Whipple I was told would be 4-6 weeks about 2 weeks ago.

I would rather have Whipple get the tune right though first and take a little longer.

I received my custom ordered 2018 Platinum 5.0 on October 6 and ordered the Whipple on November 27, Cyber Monday. Originally when I ordered the Whipple the release date was late December and we are now half way through February. I am with you though I would rather Whipple take as long as they need to get everything right.

Subbing. Just traded up to an ‘18 SE. Plan on adding some boost.

Y’all don’t feel bad for not getting yours yet. My Gen 3 has been sitting under my desk at work for a few months now...maybe I’ll get to it in March. lol

Welp folks, I have a 2018 whipple ordered as well. However, it's not for an f-150. After debating the decision for a long time, I sold the whippled f-150 and got a 2018 mustang gt a10 performance package and ordered the whipple on sale last Friday. I have so say that I am EXTREMELY impressed with the a10 transmission calibration and really hope whipple retains its stock characteristics.

Nice....I guess the lower hood on the 2018 Mustang created some new challenges for Whipple...The intercooler is totally different, the whole unit is different for that matter then the F150 or previous Mustangs.

Yea, and the direct injectors taking up the valley, but I never really liked the dual 180's the air had to make coming out of the intercooler anyway. The upside down makes more sense because the air can pass through the intercooler twice, it only makes one 180, and has a straighter approach to the intake ports. It's probably not coincidence the factory supercharged camaro and challenger have theirs upside down as well.

Lethal quotes me 4 to 5 weeks each time I email them (I check status every Friday)

So I figured I would just call whipple.
