Gen 6 Supercharger Technology
At the heart of the system is Whipples Gen 6 W185RF 3.0L twin-screw supercharger, featuring an all-new housing, inlet, and pulley design for increased airflow efficiency. The exclusive 3x4 rotor combination improves sealing, raises RPM capability, and reduces heatallowing Whipple to deliver more power per pound of boost than competing roots-style systems.
The inverted, front-entry design allows Whipple to package an intercooler system that simply cannot fit with traditional layouts, giving this kit unmatched thermal efficiency and consistency under load.
Cooling & Thermal Control
Whipples patented dual-core, dual-pass intercooler system routes intake air through each intercooler core twice, effectively doubling cooling efficiency compared to conventional designs. Combined with the industrys largest dual-pass heat exchanger and a high-flow intercooler pump, intake air temperatures stay stable even during hard use.
The result is consistent power delivery, improved knock resistance, and the ability to safely run aggressive timing on pump gas.
Tuning & Transmission Integration
Each kit includes the Whipple Tomahawk V2 flash tool loaded with Whipples proprietary calibration, developed using factory-level software. The calibration reconfigures fuel, spark, torque management, knock control, throttle mapping, and transmission behavior to deliver smooth, controlled power.
The advanced 10-speed automatic transmission is recalibrated to keep the engine in its optimal torque band while retaining all factory drive modes including tow, eco, sport, and off-road. Wheel, tire, and axle ratio adjustments are supported directly through the Tomahawk tool.
