FP700 vs Roush vs Whipple (from whipple)

[BlueCT]

Hi everyone, 1st post here new to the forum. I currently on a jeep gladiator and thinking about getting a new F150 and going with a supercharger and probably lowering it slightly. I have 3 growing kids and 2 dogs so the Jeep is just a little small inside so the super crew seems like the way to go. If I’m reading the FP700 correctly it seems to come with wheels and tires and some other stuff. If I go that route but don’t want that stuff is it an option to just buy the ford performance version of the whipple and have the dealer install that or does that change anything like the warranty.

If I go direct from whipple I’m I correct in understanding then there is no ford more ford powertrain warranty and that whipple only warranty their blower but not the motor. It seems like Roush offers up to 15k of warranty. Is that full power train or just engine?

It seems like the thing people dislike about the ford version is the 105 speed limiter. I certainly get how that kills a 1/4 drag time (and I do live very close to the Island drag way in NJ) but I will only take it to the track once or twice. I have an 89 foxbody with a stick that’s way more fun. Any other reasons to go with whipple direct or Roush?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Do NOT buy a FP700 truck with the FP Whipple. Instead just buy whatever trim you prefer/love and then order your Whipple through them or any AUTHORIZED Whipple dealer. Doing things this way allows you to not only feel comfortable purchasing whatever trim and color YOU like (SXT,XL,XLT,Lariat,Platinum,King Ranch,Tremor or Raptor R for ex) but also gives you a 135mph speed limiter. As long as you have an ASE certified mechanic do the installation then you can fill out and fax over your Whipple 3Yr/36k mile limited warranty. You also NEVER lose any warranties no matter what aftermarket modification you add to your vehicle because we are ALL protected by the Magnuson-Moss ACT. Please familiarize yourself with this act because it states that in order for Ford to deny you ANY warranty work. They HAVE to provide PROFF that said aftermarket modification caused the damage that you’re trying to repair. It takes time, money and sometimes third party companies to prove such things. And 9 times out of 10 when you say the words Magnuson-Moss ACT, it scares dealerships! AND it’s cheaper to just fix your vehicle through warranty claims versus paying a lawyer out of pocket to take you to small claims court all while receiving a very bad reputation for doing so! I myself have a 2023 Gen 6 Stg 1 Whipple Supercharged Rocky Ridge with Stainless Works Hi Flo Catted Long Tube Headers, Gibson Black Elite Catback Exhaust AND a Palm Beach Dyno Custom tune. I get warranty work done all the time especially when I bring up that Magnuson-Moss ACT!

This kit here Whipple Supercharger Stage 1 Kit Gen 5x 3.0L w/ Powertrain Warranty (2024 F-150 5.0L) WK-2317-STG1-30W has the warranty itll depend what the goals are for the truck and how much power you are looking to make. Most end up going with a stage 2 setup in the end. Feel free to send me a message with any questions. I do have Whipples in stock ready to ship as well so you dont get stuck on a long wait

If you decide to order a whipple wait till Black Friday. They have typically had 15% of their kits which saves you a lot of money.

What dealership are you using? I’ve got a 2023 Supercharged Roush and I’m trying to find a good service center for any potential warranty issues. I currently have an on and off again AC issue and I believe the fan blower motor is making some excess noise.

I had Ken at PBD do my tune as well, and he even made a YouTube video about it a few months back.

I haven’t had great luck with dealers in South Florida. The last dealership couldn’t figure out how to use the PCM tool. It detected an aftermarket tune, and the mechanic kept my truck for a month without doing anything—this was even after I flashed it back to the factory Roush tune and I had Roush email instructions on how to update the codes.

AutoNation Ford Margate did my Whipple Supercharger Installation. You may have some luck over there with warranty work because A/C work does not pertain to the Supercharger. The Magnuson Moss Act states that Ford has to prove that the Whipple is the direct culprit of your A/C going out.
