So, 2019 Challenger has a flat surface where the factory air box sits with a gasket. Whipple has a cheapo air box that is contured and allows engine bay air to get pulled in.

Outside whistling going down the road, the heat off the headers really spikes iat.

Anyone else run into this?

Whipple is garbage I’ll never get another product from them ever again. Everything they do for the hellcat platform is half baked. Everything.

Super Charger seems fine to me. Its just the airbox. Most people pull those off anyways so they can hear whine. I am trying to do the opposite, lower heat pull and get rid of the scream.

Can't you modify the stock air box to work?

I was going to check that out today when I change the oil out. Either that or some real thick weather striping

I have Two good friends that are going to be doing this soon. In fact we were just talking about this issue Saturday at Irwindale.

The throttle sites up a bit higher than stock. I was going to see what bend hose might work this after noon during oil change. BUT. Found a bunch BUNCH of non ferros metal poweder in the oil from the Pettys Garage forged 426. Then.... engine cut out with half tank of gas at part throttle in multiple gears. AF looked to spike lean when it happened. AND... got a P012B. Car runs like crap now. Have to send oil off to a lab with the filter and see what Pettys has to say about the code, the engine cut out while merging into traffic and the surge it goes into makes it almost a pain.

Im sure they'll get it sorted out though.

Sorry to hear of your woes, hoping it’s not as bad as your thinking. My guess on the super fine silver looking material seen in the oil itself is aluminum, and from piston skirt scuffing. Stroker motors notorious for that. The bigger white looking chunks in the pan my guess is a prior contaminant that was already in the pan as you said pan was empty and clean before draining into it. I always make sure my pans are spotless before draining into them so I know what ever is in the pan came from the oil drain just done. Like discussed send oil and filter to Blackstone and let us know the results. Good luck 🤞🤞
