Hi Ripp,

Many moons ago (a year +) as requested from your website, I signed up to "get on the list" for a production unit. Didn't receive anything confirming, so sent another. Still nothing so I left a voicemail at your number on the website. Months later, I wrote another email describing my extensive experience on SC'd Mustangs and I'm at high altitude, so "would you need a buyer/tester?" and a few other questions for the 2012. Nothing from that either and I also asked on this post with no response so I decided it was a sign.

No big deal, but that was my experience.

 

Below is a copy/paste from a 10/19/12 follow up email I sent you and would still be interested in answers if you don't mind.

Anyone home?

Just a couple of questions: My daily altitude ranges from 5,300-8,000ft and on trails as high as 14k ft. Obviously with the approx. 25% HP loss from air density, our octane may not be an issue anyway but the most we generally see is 89. No problems given the RIPP Map sensor correct? Any other high altitude considerations that you've thought of that may need any special attention?

Also, I'll have to remove for the visual emissions inspections (first due in 2017) and if I have engine warranty issues (early Penta that could develop that cylinder head issue) can the system be removed with no evidence if necessary?

Thank you,
Fred

 

Hey Fred, I was there first Beta tester. I'm in miami and have been running trouble free since april.

I was on their ass calling all the time to get them to sell me a kit before it was officially out. I'm on that same list and never got an email either.

Here's there number: (718) 815-1313
dial ext 10 and ask for Keith in sales, his email is keith@rippmods.com

He'll take care of you.

You won't regret it.

What's involved with being a beta tester for you? I work for a manufacturer and know how it's done in my world. Anyway, pm me If you need a 2012 Rubi. Fully stock motor, 4:10's with auto, 35's. 20k miles. I'm in Colorado.

 

Ripp,

I would like to Beta taste on my 13 please.

 

The general announcement has not been made so we have not contacted anyone on the waiting list. Sorry about the lack of communication.

The system can be completely reversed out, make sure you retain all original parts from the kit install, as for emissions inspection, you can reverse just the supercharger out of the system and just run the original belt.

Beta test involves sending logs and installing new tunes upon request. Just so we can get a larger base of PCM cal-ID numbers to compare how
tunes work across the main vehicle production run. Call us if you would like more info.

We should have a tool from Diablosport shortly that will be able to upload, and test on 2013's. Wathc on the forums for the anouncement.

I'll be calling this week.

 

Thanks Eddy. Since this has taken so long and I have a year left on a warranty, I'm going to wait that out and see if the head issue comes up first. I'm actually hoping it does so I can get out of the "wait and see" loop.

 

Drive a 3.6 at altitude and you'll see it's nothing more than just a little "less of a dog" than the 3.8.
