I just took my first Whipple drive and here is my first impression of the canned tune. It is quiter than stock, I actually thought it stalled until I looked at the tach. The stock sound tube pumped a lot of engine noise in. The shifts seem firmer but it could be my imagination. The throttle response has been tweaked and actually has a bigger "deadband" than before. It drives close to stock and my wife will be able to drive it just fine. When I punched it from a roll it fishtailed and seemed to have way more body pitch, front up and whole car to the left before blowing tires into smoke - I let off before waiting on the nannies. It still backfires on shifts like stock and is very loud when the NPP opens up at WOT. You can hear the whine of the supercharger at idle and you cant miss it when revving. I only got to drive it for a few minutes since it's cold and late but what a rush. I'll post another impression after driving for a bit.
