Ready to push your Whipple-equipped F-150 even further? The Whipple 3.8L Gen 6 Supercharger Head Unit Upgrade is the next evolution for enthusiasts who have outgrown the 3.0L system and demand extreme airflow, lower intake temperatures, and massive boost potential. With 43% more displacement than the 3.0L Gen 6, this upgrade delivers the airflow capacity needed for serious horsepower gains and high-RPM efficiency.
Featuring Whipple’s latest rotor technology, high-flow inlet design, and upgraded efficiency across the board, the Gen 6 3.8L provides the strongest foundation yet for big-power F-150 builds. Whether you’re running larger throttle bodies, upgraded cooling, or high-flow fuel systems, this head unit delivers the headroom needed to support extreme performance while maintaining OEM-plus drivability.
Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for existing Whipple 3.0L Gen 6 supercharger systems, this upgrade installs without permanent modification and includes Whipple -8 AN fuel rails and a basic hardware kit. For high-boost setups, Whipple’s optional 10-rib belt system is highly recommended to ensure maximum belt grip and reliability.
