Yes, the Whipple kits are all CA legal now for the 2024s. I went with a Stage 1 with the factory warranty and had the dealer (Ken Grody) install it

This is usually a result of the OPG's not being installed correctly, and slightly misaligned. People always skip the step of rotating the crankshaft a couple times with the Oil pump only finger tight on the block, which perfectly centers the gears, then torquing it to spec. Aftermarket OPG's are actually a softer metal than the OEM ones.
Definitely wasn't the OPG's. Looking at my OA, there was a high levels of aluminum at 8 ppm and Nickel was at 6 ppm. All other wear metals were great. Iron was at 5 ppm. Oil Analyzers says the Alum could come from the block and the nickel from valve train. Which makes sense because they chattered like crazy! Oh well, not my problem anymore. Install was done by guys who build top fuel dragsters so I am pretty sure they know what they are doing.

To the guy asking about reliability. I’m pretty sure the torque is decreased on the FP kit to be easier on the transmission compared to the Whipple. The description mentions it meets “Fords 100k mile standard”.

That being said, it keeps the factory warranty with the FP kit. The supercharger is a 3 year warranty from Whipple, but you keep your factory powertrain warranty.

I have one on a 2wd with the HDPP, and it’s the most satisfying vehicle I’ve ever owned.

I fix software bugs!
I am going to break so much stuff on my truck when I finally fold and get one.
It does take discipline and self control after you install it ;)
