Has anyone installed the whole Whipple Stage 1 Kit? Considering this one since it is CARB exempt.

I don't know of any one that has. Their tuning can be hit and miss on the EcoBoost, but probably one of the few that has full CARB compliance. If you are in CA, this might be the best way to go. If you weren't there are better options for the money.Has anyone installed the whole Whipple Stage 1 Kit? Considering this one since it is CARB exempt.
It is VERY beneficial. Look at the CVF branded intercooler as another option. Also, AFE makes intake options that should be CARB compliant. Shifting on the LMS tunes for our 2020 was TERRIBLE. Maybe they have made improvements.Yes, really no choices for CA. Whipple is the only inclusive package that I have seen. Figured it would likely be the best CA option.
The Livernois tuner shows as 50-state legal with a CARB EO#. Was also thinking an about going Whipple intercooler and intake with this.
Finally, thinking about just doing the intercooler and intake only. From my research, just swapping out the intercooler is beneficial.

Did you look at the site? It would have answered that question. Comes with intake, IC, and Tuner.Yes cooler air is best for forced induction motors I get that.
A larger IC on all my previous SC and current SC vehicles just keep me from heatsoaking too quickly, yet inevitably it happens. Not once has going to a bigger IC or similar mods added power to these vehicles, just aided in holding back the loss of power.
Quick read of this Whipple Stage 1 kit claims significant additional power. There must be a tune factored into these claims...?
Good info, and yes another good option for an upgraded IC.I went with the Mishimoto intercooler and have loved it so far. It absolutely made a difference and actually helped improve the sound of the CAI. But I will say, the one thing I should have done when I replaced the IC would be to have replaced the BOV at the same time, since you have to remove it anyways.
