The insanity! Whipple's new supercharger

[Patrick]

After Kenne Belle came out with their 2.8H supercharger, which actually outperformed Whipple's 3.2, many were wondering how Whipple was going to compete...

Well, here's the answer.

It's Whipple's new 5L supercharger. It looks like it's scheduled for release later this year at a base price of $8,000. Who's going to be the first to strap one to a Lincoln?

The 3.4L on the left and the new 5L on the right.
Here's a link to Whipple's press release. I don't know HOW this slipped past me for a year and a half, so I'm hoping y'all haven't heard either.

That supercharger is worth more than any mark VIII you can get...

Always better to cater to the boat guys as they sell multilples at a time. Most are BB GMs.
Here is a pic of setup for a 4.6 you can buy now for your car from Karcraft. I originally wanted to go "Whipple", but at the time(Winter 06) they were very bad on delivery and customer service. That said I would probably give them another look today as I have heard they have improved. They also had an exclusive with Saleen on 4 valve back then as well, but I also know that Alternative Automotives ia now doing alot of work with the new Whipples on their 4.6 setups.

So I'd probably have to replace the hood for one of those eh? :lolgrin003: nevermind, too much work.

Who needs a hood?

Lol! That might have fit under my hood!

Where is the air intake? In the back?

They are in the back like KB.
