With regard to the tuner piece, please don't say trying to find a tuner..... Who's been tuning all the Whipple cars? Use one of those guys. There are videos of a Whipple Z doing donuts and racing, who tuned that one?
Sure, stages of builds take time, but nobody gets angry over nothing. Anger is a result of unmet expectations. 3 years is a very long time.

I never said I don’t know what’s going on. I have always admitted to knowing what’s going on with Rich’s car. I even mentioned being an advocate of his car being finished and 100%. There were multiple times Bobby could have handed the car over and claimed the scope of work done. But the optics and the moral dilemma would be dishonest and bad to put it lightly. Bobby has chosen to make sure this car is 100% reliable before turning it over. As for the tuner comment. The number one response Bobby has gotten is that the tuner is afraid of the car... you can only tune so much on the dyno. Road tubing and reliability in my experience go hand in hand. I have been in Rich’s car it is fast and on this built motor and smaller pulley it is mind melting fast! The car doesn’t do slow... so when a tuner says they are scared of the car I believe it! For the last few months a tuner out of California has been remote tuning the car. Bobby has been trying to lock down a date for the tuner to be flown in at Bobby’s expense and finish the tune. That date is already set... Part of the delay from my understanding is to tune two cars in a single visit as well as fitting around two customers schedules, the dyno’s schedule and Bobby’s schedule....
Most of you haven’t been in one of these cars so you can’t comprehend the performance of this kit. You guys also haven’t been in Rich’s car which is an absolute beast! Rich has one of the most powerful whipple kits to date. His tq curve is flat as well as being 7At and on a stroker motor! If the driver felt so inclined just a flick of the foot (partial throttle) and the car could easily do donuts. The car can very well be dangerous in the hands of an unskilled driver. I can completely see why Bobby has had issues getting the tune finalized. Luckily he has a great tuner who is up to the challenge! The car is literally like 80% done with the tune! Rich gets daily if not weekly updates whether he responds or not.
