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, they weren't satisfied and decided to build an all-new supercharger for the 2018+ Mustang GT 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, optimized discharge port and increased diameter vs length for higher efficiency.
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 vehicle's PCM constantly monitors the engine's torque output while monitoring many different parameters to keep the engine in its 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 an 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.
