More information about Whipple Superchargers
Whipple Superchargers have
paved the way for forced induction applications over the years and truly set the
industry standard when it comes to power, reliability and overall customer
satisfaction. Whether your looking for a daily driver that needs a little more
punch or your craving a tire-frying, rubber shredding street machine, the
Whipple Supercharger Ford Racing systems delivers like no other supercharger
system today. The Whipple high-output (HO) supercharger system produces nearly
75% more power across the entire rpm range!
With years of OEM and racing experience, Whipple and Ford 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 Whipple-FRPP PCM
calibration set such new standards for engine control and monitoring that the
2008 GT500's will be adapting to the new software. 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-FRPP SC system unheralded performance and reliability.
Whipple and Ford Racing have developed the biggest, baddest intercooled system
available today. The HO system boasts a massive aluminum air-to-water
intercooler with a bar/plate design and 19fpi. This enormous intercooler mounts
inside the cast aluminum long runner Whipple intake manifold. The air-to-water
system stays cool with an oversized Fluidyne heat exchanger, nearly twice the
size of some of the competition. A Shelby GT500 high-flow fuel pump takes care
of the extra fuel flow while the Ford Racing PCM flash tool reconfigures the
factory PCM for incredible, reliable power. The HO package pumps out an
astonishing 500+HP* at the wheels and over 475+TRQ*, all on 91-octane pump gas and a 100%
stock engine! You’ll make nearly 400RWTRQ at the hit of throttle with an instant
8 lbs of boost, something turbo and centrifugal systems simply cannot do.
EXCLUSIVE FEATURES OF THE WHIPPLE HO SC SYSTEM:
WHAT SEPARATES WHIPPLE TECHNOLOGY FROM THE COMPETITION?
Positive displacement twin screw design has the highest efficiency of all superchargers including roots and centrifugal
Higher efficiency means more power at all rpm levels
Unique Whipple twin screw design provides the largest power gains across entire rpm range
Similar screw compressor design as the Ford GT supercar
Same screw compressor technology that Mercedes has utilized on all their latest vehicles including the 600hp McLaren SLR, E55AMG, S55, CL55, SLK32 and SL55
Dyno proven to produce more horsepower and torque than any other supercharger throughout the entire rpm range.
Fuel injection software which has more processing power than the factory s/w resulting in incredible driveability
Whipple designed air-bypass system for unsurpassed fuel economy
50 state emission compatibility
Whipple Systems consistently produce very low levels of noise, commonly undetectable
