No numbers yet. They put it on the dyno before they could run it all the way out. They didn't have a complete calibration

That is awesome. I watched the video, I guess I missed that part. I was too busy wiping up the drool after seeing all those sick trucks, and ridiculous burnouts to 6th gear (or whatever it was). I forgot whipple sends a tune for their blower. My brother had the kenne bell 2.8H with the mammoth on his GT500 and I had blower/tune mods on one of my own. We were friends with the tuners so I’ve always been involved in that side of it.
Do you have to send them the PCM after datalogging? Or is it a plug and re-flash module that is proprietary to whipple?
Also, do you know anything about custom tuning and the OTA updates?
Is Ford going to over write your custom calibration on the next update?
Is anyone able to tap into the hybrid engine calibration programming yet?
It sounds like you are more “in the know” when it comes to tuning the 2021s than anyone else on this forum, and that question has come up a lot with no answers so far. If you could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
My good friend tunes, and he hasn't heard anything on it yet. He has a Roush Charged 2020 making 735 RWHP. But that is with long tubes, cooling mods, E85, and he tuned his truck for racing.
So… I wonder what this 2021 Whipple will make? Very Interesting.

Whipple is partnered with Ford. They're the only ones who can tune(roush is still working on fixing their lackluster design on previous model) true Custom tuning will be a good while for reason you mentioned above.
Nothing needs to be done as far as sending exm or anything else. Just use the supplied tomahawk device to send whipple stock calibration. Then they send file back

But what happens when Ford updates the truck OTA? Do you have to disable that? Or will the truck just continue to update, and the re-calibration overlay remains the same?

Here is a video of the 2020 5.0 Truck of my friends. The video shows the truck running 10.50 ET @ 130 MPH. It doesn’t show the sign in the video, but just trust me it’s a 10.50. I wasn’t the one videoing, all I’m doing is uploading it for others to see. Lol.
This 2020 Roush Blown 5.0 was making 910 HP on this race day, and included a 100 shot of NOS. He feels confident the truck can run 10.20s if he can stop the wheel hop on launch. He used to be a hardcore duramax tuner, and when the new Ford’s came out (Gas & Diesal) he crossed over to the Ford side, because the Ford trucks make stupid numbers now. IE: like in the video below. This is crazy for a truck that can be driven daily (just might get 15MPG doing it). Lol.

It will be fine because whipple has all the coding and what not to prevent it from being an issue. They paid to play and have the partnership with Ford!

Not really. If for whatever reason you're worried about a warranty. Whipple offers a 3/36k mile warranty. Same as factory Ford warranty

What's... interesting. Pretty common sense thing they'd offer a Warranty. Should be a common sense thing to realize that just adding a supercharger doesn't void a warranty as well.. but here we are half way through 2021 and people still assume
