I'm waiting, because I think it will be worth the wait. I spoke to them recently and they are just starting to clear some of the backlog that was caused by the Lysholm supply problem earlier this year. They said they will be out late December or early January (I'd bet on Jan considering how work tends to slow up during the holidays). The Whipple and the FRPP are one and were featured on the Dyno Drag Car anf Toyo Drift car at SEMA.
I'm sure you've seen the numbers thaey are advertising on thier website. I just can't wait until some of the aftermarket tuners get thier hands on one. Not to mention the fact that some performance oriented (rare) dealers will warrant them as long as they do the work. We'll see. I think it is a hard package to beat.

Wsmatau,
I absolutley agree, the last communication I had with Martin Stenback, CEO, Lysholm Technologies was October 24, 2005 and stated the following. He never did provide me with information pertaining to the specifics of the supply issues with Whipple Industries, and although he was prompt with previous emails I sent, he has not responded within the time frame he indicated in his last email.
So did Whipple end out finding another supplier for the supercharger? I guess it is time to send a follow-up email to Mr. Stenback. I would prefer Whipple's end product with Lysholm's S/C, but would have sought out a finish company for kit preps and final assembly, if need be.

Mr. Stenback,
As you indicated in your email of September 16th, you are in the middle of your supplier proceedings with Whipple Industries.
I am not a sales person, I am a simple consumer who feels your product is the best on the market and would be disappointed to see the Lysholm Twin Screw diminish in platform sales for the Ford Mustang.
As a senior member and active moderator of a large Mustang forum in the United States, I have the ability to set-up group purchases with other site members (we have approximately 90,000 members). Many are interested in your twin screw superchargers and have been waiting to see what the status of the proceedings with Whipple is. If in the event your business arrangement cannot be continued with Whipple, I respectfully request your consideration of allowing me to facilitate a group purchase of your products for direct shipment to the end consumer if this is possible.
Thank you again for your time and consideration of this alternative marketing and sales route.

)Jenn,
The information I received was through Whipple not Lysholm. Whipple has been "less than forthcoming" in the past, but I'm trying to remain optimistic. The info you shared from Lysholm does seem to coincide with what I was told by Whipple, just last week. Lysholm is the only supplier for the Whipple internals, as far as I know. Autorotor is the only other twinscrew company out there (it is also controlling owned by Lysholm) and they supply Kenne Bell.
Whipple told me that thier supply flow is now back on track and backorders will take priority. They indicated that they will take new orders now, but admitted that they don't expect to fill immediate orders until January.
Hope this helps.

Pulling Together Resources ....
Very important since most of us spend alot of money on our cars. Of course everyone wants the most bang for the buck. Personally I don't see myself putting in a supercharger unless I have a bullet proof bottom end, a solid tranny, single piece drive shaft and really beefed up rear end. Right now am working on the entire suspension, after that comes my exhaust & intake mods. Thanks for the information guys ! I think Whipple is probably the
SC I am working at for next year. Am thinking of purchasing a really built 4.6 liter short block and upgrade the fuel system.

GTRacerX,
Agreed, no matter the platform, the most fundamental aspect is bottom-up reengineering and modification to ensure that the vehicle is able to withstand the increase in HP/TQ. I have no complaints on Roots S/Cs. I just prefer the TS engineering and how/where it delivers its maximums.
Who has released a single unit Driveshaft without the U-Joint for the 05?
Good exchange of information fellas! Thanks for the input.

BMR released a carbon fiber drive shaft, single unit I believe. It was on their site for a few weeks (few months ago), but has since disappeared...
I talked to Dustin at Whipple a month ago to the day. At that time, he said
"We have 2 systems, one with stock injectors that produces 425rwhp @ 8psi and one that creates 515rwhp with 11-psi and larger injectors, as well as a few other upgrades. We will release more information in mid november."
He also said that he hoped to have a unit available by late December. However, given that they have not been able to release "more information", don't hold your breath.
