Whipple Dual Intercooler Pump Upgrade (20202022 Shelby GT500)
Overview
The Whipple Dual Intercooler Pump Upgrade is a critical cooling enhancement for the 20202022 Shelby GT500, designed to combat rising manifold air temperatures under boost. From the factory, the GT500s intercooler system can struggle to recover quickly during aggressive driving, allowing heat soak to rob power. Whipples solution directly addresses this limitation by dramatically increasing coolant flow through the intercooler system.
By adding a second intercooler pump and running it in conjunction with the factory pump, this upgrade increases overall water flow by over 40%. The result is faster coolant recovery, lower intake air temperatures, and more consistent horsepowerespecially during back-to-back pulls or track use.
Performance Highlights
- Over 40% increase in intercooler water flow
- Significantly lowers manifold air temperatures under boost
- Faster coolant recovery between pulls
- More consistent power delivery from the 5.2L Predator engine
Improved Cooling Where It Matters Most
As boost and airflow increasewhether on a stock GT500 or a modified setupthe factory intercooler system can become overwhelmed. Rising intake air temperatures force the ECU to pull timing, resulting in reduced power output. The Whipple dual pump upgrade keeps coolant moving at a much higher rate, allowing the intercooler cores to shed heat faster and maintain optimal charge air temperatures.
This upgrade works seamlessly with your existing factory intercooler pump, adding a second pump in a daisy-chain configuration to dramatically improve system efficiency without requiring complex modifications.
