While Whipple broke many rules and records with its record setting
S550 supercharger system, holding the title of the most powerful, most
advanced supercharger system available, we weren't satisified and
decided to build an all new supercharger from the ground up. The stage 1
supercharger system makes 775 flywheel HP and 630 foot pounds of torque
and is offered with an optional 3 year, 36,000 mile power-train
warranty.
The new, direct and port injected supercharger system features the
brand new Generation 5 3.0L front feed twin-screw supercharger. Not to
be confused with the Gen 3 or 4, this all new supercharger features
industry leading efficiency from idle to redline. All new bearings,
gears, rotors and housing allow the new supercharger to spin faster,
longer and safer while producing more power than any other positive
displacement supercharger ever built. The new Gen 5 features the 3/4
rotor combination vs previous 3/5, 285 deg helix vs previous 270 deg,
new bell mouth inlet, optimizied dishcarge port and increased diameter
vs length for higher efficiency.
The 2018 also features an all new triple intercooler design that
has even more volume and surface area than the already massive Whipple
Cooler that cooled the Ford Cobra Jets and all the record setting S550
Mustangs. Couple this with the industry's leading heat exchanger, water
reservoir and intercooler pump, you get more power with lower boost
levels and quicker recovery times after aggressive operation.
With years of OEM and racing experience, Whipple engineers have
developed a unique PCM calibration that reconfigures all the necessary
engine functions including fuel, spark, knock detection, torque
management, transmission control and electronic throttle control. The
vehicles PCM constantly monitors the engines torque output while
monitoring many different parameters to keep the engine in it’s ideal
parameters. If a parameter falls below specification, the PCM will lower
boost and torque output until the problem can be cured. No other
calibration in the field has such technology, giving the Whipple SC
system unheralded performance and reliability. Each Whipple kit comes
with unique software and a OBDII flash tool giving the customer the
ability to flash/update whenever needed. Each customer also gets the new
Flight Control Software, ability to adjust wheel/axle size, octane
adjustment, crank/cam relearn and many other unique features.
