Gen 6 3.0L Twin-Screw Supercharger
At the heart of this system is Whipple’s W185ax Gen 6 3.0L twin-screw supercharger, featuring an exclusive 3x4 rotor profile that increases airflow while reducing discharge temperatures. Compared to smaller roots-style superchargers, the Gen 6 moves more air per revolution with less parasitic loss, resulting in more power per pound of boost.
The inverted supercharger layout nests the unit between the cylinder heads, allowing Whipple to package a significantly larger intercooler while maintaining factory hood clearance and a clean OEM-style engine bay.
Patented Dual-Pass Intercooling System
This system features Whipple’s patented dual-pass, dual-core air-to-water intercooler, which routes intake air through each intercooler core twice for dramatically improved thermal efficiency. Combined with the largest dual-pass heat exchanger in the segment and a high-flow intercooler pump, intake air temperatures stay consistent even under heavy load.
Lower IATs allow for safer ignition timing, repeatable power delivery, and excellent durability in demanding conditions such as towing, high ambient temperatures, and sustained throttle use.
Power Onboard Dual-Alternator Compatibility
This kit is specifically engineered for 2024–2026 F-150s equipped with the factory Power Onboard dual-alternator system. Whipple designed all brackets, belt routing, and calibration strategies to integrate seamlessly with the dual-alternator configuration without compromising charging performance or reliability.
Advanced PCM & Transmission Integration
Fully compatible with Ford’s OTA-style PCM and 10-speed automatic transmission, Whipple’s calibration recalibrates fuel, spark, torque management, knock control, and shift strategies while retaining all factory driving modes including Tow, Eco, Sport, and Off-Road.
The included Whipple Tomahawk V2 OBDII flash tool allows for simple calibration loading, diagnostic scanning, data logging, and wheel, tire, and axle ratio adjustments.
