Whipple Supercharger Stage 1R Kit Gen 6 3.0L (2024–2026 Ford F-150 5.0L)
Overview
The Whipple Gen 6 Stage 1R Supercharger Kit for the 2024–2026 Ford F-150 5.0L is engineered for truck owners who want near-Stage 2 power while retaining the factory 87mm throttle body. Producing up to 795 horsepower and 685 lb-ft of torque at the flywheel on 93 octane, the Stage 1R delivers massive gains with OEM-level drivability, towing capability, and emissions compliance.
This emissions-legal, bolt-on system upgrades the fueling system over Stage 1 with GT500 Bosch dual-beam fuel injectors, allowing the Gen 6 3.0L twin-screw supercharger to safely support higher airflow and power levels—without requiring a larger throttle body.

- GT500 Bosch dual-beam injectors for increased fueling capacity
- Instant boost with a flat, aggressive torque curve
- Maintains factory Tow, Eco, Sport, and Off-Road drive modes
- CARB certified and 50-state emissions legal
Gen 6 3.0L Twin-Screw Supercharger Technology
At the heart of the Stage 1R system is Whipple’s Gen 6 W185ax 3.0L twin-screw supercharger, featuring an exclusive 3x4 rotor profile designed to increase airflow efficiency while lowering discharge temperatures. Compared to smaller roots-style superchargers, the Gen 6 delivers more airflow per revolution with reduced parasitic loss.
The inverted supercharger layout positions the unit deep in the engine valley, allowing Whipple to package an oversized intercooler while maintaining factory hood clearance and an OEM-style underhood appearance.
Stage 1R Fueling Advantage
The Stage 1R bridges the gap between Stage 1 and Stage 2 by upgrading the fuel system while retaining the stock 87mm throttle body. The included GT500 Bosch dual-beam fuel injectors provide the additional fueling required to safely support higher airflow and boost levels, making the Stage 1R an ideal option for drivers seeking maximum power without additional intake modifications.
Patented Dual-Pass Intercooling System
Whipple’s patented dual-pass, dual-core air-to-water intercooler system routes intake air through each intercooler core twice—dramatically increasing thermal efficiency and reducing intake air temperatures under sustained boost.
Combined with the largest dual-pass heat exchanger in the segment and a high-flow intercooler pump, the system delivers consistent IAT control during towing, spirited driving, and high ambient temperatures.
Advanced PCM & Transmission Integration
The Stage 1R system is fully compatible with Ford’s OTA-style PCM and 10-speed automatic transmission. Whipple’s proprietary calibration recalibrates fuel, spark, torque management, knock control, and transmission shift strategy in real time based on manifold pressure and air temperature.
The included Whipple Tomahawk V2 OBDII flash tool allows users to load calibrations, read and clear diagnostic codes, datalog, and adjust wheel, tire, and axle ratios.
