Gen 4 upgrade available now
Whipple is always pursuing the latest & greatest technology and making any innovation they can to produce the most efficient supercharger on the market. The 2.9L supercharger has been the most popular head unit for the Cobras, GT500s and Coyotes. For this reason, Whipple has focused on improving the rotor & housing design of the 2.9L.
Whipple introduced the Gen 3 rotor upgrade for the 2.9L in late 2017 and it boasted a 30-150hp/tq increase at the same boost level compared to its predecessor. It’s been performing like a beast but Whipple knew they could get more out of the 2.9L so earlier this year they introduced the option to upgrade to the Gen 4 rotor & housing. The Gen 4 upgrade is great for those customers wanting a little extra hp boost but without going full Crusher or crazy small pulley setup. The step up from the Gen 3 was not as big as the 2-3 step, but still makes for a nice little gain. Compared to the Gen 3, the Gen 4 2.9L has a 4% flow increase and will make around 1-1.5 more psi at the same pulley size.
If youre craving more power from your Shelby GT500, Whipple has the answer. Get the industries latest, most efficient twin-screw supercharger. The new Whipple W175HPR can produce incredible power levels with stock 5.4L Shelby GT500 engines as well as highly modified engines. The revolutionary new W175HPR Gen 3 compressors have the ability to run nearly 25psi of boost (engine modifications required) for unheralded performance. A simple pulley change in minutes will allow you to step up or down for street or race applications allowing customers the ability to dial in their Shelby.Model | Year(s) |
