I was driving normally to pick up my son when my car suddenly bogged stalled wouldn't start. Towed home.
A month later I finally had time to diagnose thinking I had some engine issue. Pulled plugs, pulled belt off and car turned over just fine.
Turns out whipple won't spin. It only has about 2k miles on it but I've had it a few years so no warranty. Pulled head off and there are some metal shavings on top of the heat exchanger. Have not pulled that off yet.
I contacted whipple and they say it will be between 2k to 5k to fix.
Now I'm debating what to do. I have a fully built/ sleeved motor but my car is a convertible and bad recipe for high horsepower (was making 970 wheel). Car is a manual and has a 6060 swap. Not the easiest thing to launch at the track.
I'm debating. Pull motor try to sell it return car to stock and sell/ trade for a tesla model s? I don't drag race much but be nice to have power for small hits. I like acceleration.
Should I roll the dice have whipple fix head unit?
Should I buy a turbo kit mix things up?
Another thought is buy another mustang that is an auto coupe swap everything over, then sell the convertible as near stock.
Not looking to spend boat loads out of pocket so at a cross which way to go. Would love to have a discussion and share opinions.
