99 Tahoe with Whipple Charger Problems
I need some help on the following please:
I installed a Whipple SC on my 99 Tahoe with a 5.7L. It all worked out fine but the GM computer is sending a code MAF problem. I replaced the one installed with a new one but no luck. I called Whipple and have been told that I need a new computer, 700 $. The one for the 99 is not supported any longer. The truck seems to run fine, even so I did expect a little more power. Yesterday a S 10 run away from me. Has anybody ever seen the same problem and what may be the fix for it?
Thanks for your help

Answer to Whipple problems
Well, here is the deal.
For the money that I had spend for the Whipple I was hoping to get some more results out of it. The MAF problem was more than likely from the computer that Whipple supplied for the early models (99). Problem is that the only way that Whipple supports the older computer is by selling you a new one for 750 US $ plus shipping. Even folks at Whipple admitted that the older computer had problems with the MAF signal but there is no support but to purchase a new one. There is no trade in or anything. So, I'm not to happy with the whole deal and do believe that I will never ever purchase a Whipple again. The setup is fine, no problem there. It did all fit and looks nice but the support is very limited. The fellow in customer support did the best he was able but he did not get any help for more difficult questions. So, for me, not again. Not worth the money and hassel.
