Whipple 3.8L Supercharger for 2007-2014 GT500
Posted by Beefcake Racing on Jun 17th 2020
Well its 2021 and the Whipple 3.8L for the Shelby GT500 is available for pre-order. Whipple Superchargers has finally announced the availability its time to get the biggest, baddest supercharger for your GT500. This all new supercharger is a direct replacement that easily fits in place of the stock s/c on the Ford 2007-2014 Shelby GT500 models. Available as a complete kit or blower upgrade only for customers who already have the 3.0L Whipple. The larger displacement surpasses the previous model 3.0L in volume, efficiency and cooling characteristics. The new Whipple 3.8L Gen5 can produce incredible power levels well into the 2000HP range in race applications. When used as a direct bolt-on replacement system, the new blower gives you the ability to run far higher boost levels than the factory 122ci roots-type supercharger, 2300 or 2650 TVS while dramatically lowering supercharger discharge temperatures and power consumption (hp).
Two options available for 07-14 Models
WK-2525B Whipple 3.8L Supercharger Kit
WK-2525TB Whipple 3.8L Upgrade Blower Only
**NOTE: The Gen5 3.8L SC Kit will NOT fit under the factory hood without the K-member spacer kit AND the adjustable motor mounts. Aftermarket hoods such as the Shelby Super Snake Hood will work but requires the adjustable engine mounts to clear the cowling.
