If more power is what you crave…Whipple Superchargers has the solution…heart-stopping acceleration, complete bolt-on packages, emissions legal supercharger kits that boosts power up to 60%. By utilizing the Whipple Twin Screw Supercharger, we provide the largest power gains, while maintaining safe, trouble-free operation. The Whipple Charger gives you the unique combination of maximum power at low rpm’s for incredible drivability while still providing ultra high efficiency for top-end horsepower. Just squeeze the throttle and the engine responds immediately, from idle to redline.

The results are breathtaking…0-60 times drop dramatically, up to 60% power increases throughout the operating range, incredible throttle response, emission compliance and virtually maintenance-free. How is this possible? It’s the integration of the Whipple Twin Screw Supercharger and Whipple's superior engineering that makes it all possible.

Over the past ten years, Whipple Superchargers has risen above the competition to become the true supercharging leaders with proven performance, reliability, customer service and quality. Other companies claim to be leaders, but the results speak for themselves.

“Whereas everyone loves to quote peak horsepower and torque numbers, the true measurement of an engine’s output is how much power it produces across it’s operating range” Motor Trend

“The overall power curve was awesome with the Whipple…Acceleration went from invigorating to instantaneous. Whipple should add goggles to its kit” Hot Boat

“Because the engine worked easily, towing acceleration and fuel economy were vastly improved” Trailer Boats Magazine “Unlike centrifugal superchargers, which make boost proportional to rpm, the twin screw design develops all of it’s boost just above idle – around 2000 rpm – and keeps it all the way to redline. The sensation is rather like a big block; lots of stump pulling torque and long, fat midrange pull” Muscle Mustang “Life with Mr. Whipple”

“A 23 mph top-end gain and wild mid-range acceleration performance-blew us away” Powerboat Magazine

“The finished engine compartment looks like it just rolled off the factory assembly line… like it was born there, but provides power this engine never realized it had” Truckin Magazine

“The power is very impressive; no turbocharged car that I have driven really has anywhere near the instant throttle response that these supercharged (Porsches) cars have” Excellence

“Were we ever knocked out of our socks when Whipple’s Silver Bullet launched itself to a 13.58-second pass at 103.6 mph!” Sport Truck

“I’m just having a blast driving my pick-up truck…It’s made so much difference in the performance of the truck, and it looks like it was put in by the factory” Don “The Snake” Prudhomme

“The Whipple added so much power, I was truly astonished with the night and day difference it made” Parnelli Jones

 

What separates Whipple from the competition:

 

 

 


Superior Engineering

Our relentless commitment to creating products that exceed the cutting edge of design, performance and quality has given us the reputation as innovators and leaders in the high performance industry. Every Whipple product goes through extensive research and development to ensure proper operation in all applications. Our standard development practice involves the measurement of over 100 parameters utilizing our own custom designed data acquisition computers. Measurements include individual cylinder air/fuel ratio from a true wide range Horiba sensor as well as solid-state exhaust gas temperature. Our expert calibration team has over 10 years of OEM experience calibrating Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEV). Every product gets extensive R&D time on either our DynoJet Chassis dyno, our Superflow engine dyno or our Land & Sea propshaft dyno. This ensures that you get maximum power from our product and long, trouble free operation.

 

The Whipple Charger

The screw compressor is by far the best supercharger available today; it’s the only supercharger that is able to provide a positive displacement/internal compression design for maximum low-end torque as well as high efficiency for maximum top-end horsepower. No other supercharger in the world can offer the same unique benefits. Centrifugals and turbos have tremendous lag time during shift points, on-off throttle and off the line boost. Roots-type superchargers have been proven to not be as efficient as the screw compressor due to the external compression design, especially at higher boost levels, which greatly affect peak horsepower. The screw compressor’s unique design and efficiency allows for compact installation and OEM reliability.

 

Whipple Charger Operating Principles

Inlet Phase – The male and female rotors rotate counter to each other. As the lobes of each rotor travel past each inlet port, air is trapped between consecutive lobes and the cylindrical casing. The air moves axially (forward) throughout the case and fill the interlobe space between adjacent lobes.

Compression Phase – As the rotors mesh, the air is trapped between the rotors and the casing. Continued rotation progressively reduces the space occupied by the air causing compression.

Discharge Phase – Compression continues until the interlobe space becomes exposed to the outlet port, through which the air is discharged into the manifold.

The compression sequence continues on all rotor segments simultaneously. Timing gears synchronize the rotors. The rotors do not touch the casing or each other thus assuring long life, consistent performance and low power drain.

Supercharger Comparison

  Whipple Charger Centrifugal Turbo Roots
Response Awesome idle-to-redline rpm power. No lag. Poor low-speed response, similar to "turbo lag." Poor low-speed response. Turbo lag. Good low to mid range power.
Drivability Increased lugging ability in higher gears. Increased power throughout rpm range. Must downshift to maintain boost level. Increased lugging ability in higher gears.
Engine Torque Curve Virtually flat curve; ideal characteristic. Often worse than uncharged engine at low speeds. Often worse than uncharged engine at low speeds. Wide range; fall-off can occur at high speeds.
Heat Buildup Low; intercoolers are usually not needed. Low; intercoolers are usually not needed. High; may need intercooler. High; limits boost available.
Noise Very low noise levels. Typically very noisy. Very low noise levels. Typically very noisy.
Adiabatic Efficiency 70-80% 60-78% 60-75% Peak 40-55%
