Whipple W245AX Bare Supercharger Head Unit ONLY 4.0L WSC-245AXB
4.0L Twin-Screw Supercharger Head Unit for Extreme Custom Builds
The Whipple W245AX 4.0L Supercharger Head Unit is built for serious power applications where airflow, efficiency, and durability are non-negotiable. Designed specifically for builders, fabricators, and performance shops, this bare head unit provides the foundation for creating high-output, custom-engineered supercharger systems capable of supporting massive horsepower levels.
OEM manufacturers rely on positive displacement twin-screw superchargers like Whipple because they deliver instant torque, excellent drivability, and a broad, usable powerband. Unlike centrifugal superchargers or turbochargers that suffer from lag, the W245AX delivers immediate boost response while maintaining exceptional top-end horsepower potential.
The Whipple twin-screw design achieves adiabatic efficiency up to 80% and volumetric efficiency approaching 99.9%, allowing it to move significantly more air with less heat and lower parasitic loss compared to roots-style superchargers. This results in cooler intake charge temperatures, improved reliability, and more power per pound of boost.
The WSC-245AXB is supplied as a bare supercharger head unit only, making it ideal for custom intake manifolds, intercooler configurations, and bespoke drive systems. Whipple supports these builds with a wide selection of drive lengths, pulley options, and bypass valves to accommodate nearly any forced-induction layoutfrom street-driven monsters to full competition setups.
