Whipple Gen 6x 3.0L Stage 1 Supercharger No Flash Tool Kit (2021–2023 F-150 5.0L)
Overview
The Whipple Gen 6x 3.0L Stage 1 Supercharger No Flash Tool Kit is a complete, high-performance supercharger hardware package for the 2021–2023 Ford F-150 5.0L. Built around Whipple’s latest Gen 6x W185RF twin-screw supercharger, this system delivers massive airflow, instant boost response, and industry-leading cooling capacity—ready to support serious power levels when paired with proper calibration.
This is a No Flash Tool (NFT) configuration, intended for customers who already have tuning solutions in place or plan to run custom calibration. No handheld tuner, calibration, or tuning credits are included.
Gen 6x Supercharger Technology
The Gen 6x 3.0L Whipple supercharger features a redesigned housing, inlet, and pulley configuration specifically engineered for the 2021–2023 F-150 platform. The inverted blower layout places the supercharger deep in the engine valley, allowing Whipple to package an exceptionally large intercooler system for superior thermal control.
An oversized Crusher™ 150mm inlet combined with Whipple’s 3x4 rotor combination delivers excellent airflow efficiency, reduced parasitic loss, and strong power potential across the entire RPM range.
Industry-Leading Cooling & Reliability
This system utilizes Whipple’s patented dual-core, dual-pass air-to-water intercooler design, routing intake air through each intercooler core twice for unmatched heat rejection. An oversized dual-pass heat exchanger and high-flow intercooler pump ensure consistent intake air temperatures during towing, street driving, or aggressive use.
