Whipple Gen 6 3.0L Supercharger Upgrade Kit (WK-1035-30) - 2022-2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing LT4
Upgrade your 2022-2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing with the Whipple Gen 6 3.0L Supercharger Upgrade Kit. Designed specifically for the factory-supercharged LT4 engine, this system delivers up to 845 horsepower and 823 lb-ft of torque at the flywheel on 93-octane fuel under optimal conditions. The larger 3.0L supercharger provides increased airflow capacity, immediate boost response, and a broad torque curve while maintaining compatibility with key factory components.
The WK-1035-30 features Whipple's high-flow 112mm Crusher inlet, patented dual-core, dual-pass intercooler system, and integrated supercharger design. The kit retains the factory throttle body, airbox, inlet tube, 8-rib belt drive, and fuel system for Whipple's advertised power levels. It also fits beneath the factory hood without cutting or grinding.
Gen 6 3.0L Supercharger
Whipple's Gen 6 3.0L supercharger increases displacement and airflow potential compared to the factory LT4 supercharger. Its positive-displacement design delivers instant boost at throttle application and a flat torque curve for strong acceleration throughout the RPM range.
The integrated supercharger casting reduces the number of separate adapters and connections, helping minimize potential leaks and airflow restrictions. A zero-turn inlet design reduces induction losses associated with rear-entry superchargers and 180-degree inlet bends.
The discharge-down configuration reduces pressure loss to support increased power at lower boost levels, while the top-mounted design helps maintain cooler operation compared to inverted supercharger layouts.
High-Flow 112mm Crusher Inlet
The WK-1035-30 incorporates a CFD-developed 112mm Crusher inlet designed to increase airflow while minimizing restriction and rotor cavitation. Its integrated venturi-shaped passage improves airflow into the supercharger compared to smaller inlet configurations.
The 112mm round inlet offers greater airflow capacity than smaller 90mm and 93mm inlets commonly used on Eaton-based supercharger systems. It also supports optional 102mm throttle body configurations for applications requiring additional airflow.
For the standard WK-1035-30 installation, the factory throttle body is retained using the supplied throttle body adapter. The system also retains the factory airbox and inlet tube for a clean, direct-fit installation.
Patented Dual-Core, Dual-Pass Intercooling
Whipple's patented dual-core, dual-pass air-to-water intercooler system is engineered to improve charge cooling and thermal efficiency under demanding conditions. Its integrated design provides increased intercooler capacity compared to smaller supercharger systems.
The large air-to-water intercooler helps reduce intake air temperatures and maintain more consistent performance during repeated acceleration and high-load operation.
An oversized intercooled air-bypass system supports drivability and cruising efficiency, while the self-contained oversized supercharger oil system helps reduce lubricant temperatures during demanding use.
HP Tuners Global B Calibration Support
The WK-1035-30 includes HP Tuners Global B upgrade support, a compatible flash tool, tuning credits, and Whipple calibration support for the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.
Whipple's supplied calibration is designed for stock, unmodified, well-maintained vehicles operating on premium gasoline rated at 91 octane or higher.
The system works with the factory fuel system at Whipple's supplied power levels and retains the stock throttle body and intake configuration.
Calibration Restrictions: Long tube headers and catalytic converter removal are not supported with the supplied Whipple calibration.
Factory-Compatible Installation
Whipple engineered the Gen 6 upgrade to integrate with the CT5-V Blackwing's factory components. The system retains the original 8-rib belt drive, fuel system, throttle body, airbox, and inlet tube, reducing the need for additional supporting modifications at the advertised power level.
A supplied throttle body adapter allows the factory throttle body to connect to the larger supercharger inlet. The assembly fits beneath the factory hood without cutting or grinding.
The kit includes an LT4 3-bar MAP sensor and specifies OEM replacement spark plugs, part number 12642722, gapped to 0.032 inches. The supercharger oil fill specification is 4.0 fluid ounces.
Whipple's pulley arrangement allows approximately three-minute pulley changes. Available finishes include wrinkle black, polished, and custom colors.
