    Limp Mode - Whipple 4.5L with Big Oval

    Back in 2017-2018 when the 4.5L whipple with large oval first came out, a lot of folks were hitting major limp mode issues with the whipples on the hellcats. I sifted through those threads, tried to find what folks were doing to resolve it, but nothing was outright posted. I have been banging my head against the wall trying to see where i am hitting a limit, but I hit it hard on the dyno yesterday. Around 6200rpms in a pull i got the red lightning bolt and car was in fuel cutoff limp mode (thought i lost the motor!!!).

    I am pushing north of 21psi (4" upper, 10% lower) on a 426ci, on Q16. was around 1050whp at 6,000rpms just before it fell on its face.

    I know the mantra of posting tunes, mine is a bit proprietary and still a mess/work in progress, so prefer not to mass blast it just yet.
