Whipple superchargers for ls motor?

**Darkrider02** · 08-30-2010, 03:37 AM

Will Whipple S/C work on f bodies? What do you guys think about it?

**Johns00Z28** · 08-30-2010, 06:06 AM

Apparently there are fitment issues w/ the cowl needing to be hacked up for it to fit. I think it's a cool idea but there's probably a reason you don't see many out there on fbodies. Probably better off going w/ a proven combo like a procharger or turbo setup.

centrifugal superchargers are popular on F-bodys because you dont have to hack up the cowl to install them

I thought Maggie or something similar has one now that you don't have to modify/hack the hood up or install a new hood with a higher cowl?

Well I noe about the maggie s/c but power is limited

Centrifugal only has peak power it doesn't have all the power it says through the power band

to fit the whipple's 2.9l etc...you will need to cut the glass also ....i believe however..this was without k member spacers, and with stock engine mount location.......Whipple has made/almost completed a kit for the 5th gen camaros..that will fit/work with the belt\accessory layout of the lsXs ....

The owner of whipple has publicly said as soon as they are done with the 5th gen maro and the vette they will start r&d on the 4th gen..won't take so long

**Darkrider02** · 09-01-2010, 03:27 PM

i might have to wait till whipple makes one then

**35th-ANV-SS** · 09-02-2010, 04:30 AM

Not that this matters here

but my friend runs a Whipple 3.7L SC at 22psi (I think) on his stock Marauder block. His is putting down close to 815rwhp/780rwtq

**Darkrider02** · 09-02-2010, 05:37 AM

good god thats great and you get all that power through the power band....

**Frost** · 09-03-2010, 08:28 AM

well yeah..but if they have a system that will work for the intake style we have ..all the work that needs to be done is cowl clearance correct? ...i will continue to have faith in what the owner said ...but with that said....i wont be surprised if it never happens
