Whipple W185AX 3.0L SC Upgrade Kit Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang 2007-2012
We've been taunting the 2007-2014 Shelby GT500 market with pics and info on the all new Gen 5 3.0L supercharger kit and it's finally here.
The new Gen 5 3.0L supercharger kit for the 2007-2014 Shelby GT500 is a total game changer. With a new rotor design, rotor profile, high pressure housing, massive crusher inlet and the option for a 150mm roval throttle body and 123mm cold air intake this thing will make tons of power.
The Gen 3 5 3.0L supercharger is not only more efficient than the previous Gen 4 but is also capable of supporting much higher hp levels. Taking less power to make power this Gen 5 3.0L moves a ton of air and at much cooler temperatures as well. Whipple also engineered this kit to use their new Coyote inspired 150mm Roval throttle body. The new 150mm throttle body has proven to flow more air and have less inlet restriction than any other throttle body Whipple has offered for the GT500. In fact the new Whipple 150mm Roval throttle body flows more air than any other Whipple monoblade except their dual blade Ford GT throttle body.
We've seen how well some of the Gen 4 Whipple guys have done this past season and we're really excited to see what this new setup does. During some initial testing on a few very well known GT500 the Gen 5 3.0L made almost 100rwhp over the Gen 4 at the same boost level. Those are some very impressive gains and it's only the beginning.
If you're craving more power from your Cobra Terminator, Whipple has the answer. Get the industries most efficient and latest designed twin-screw supercharger available today. The new Whipple Gen 5 3.0L supercharger kit can produce incredible power levels with stock 5.4 and 5.8L engines as well as highly modified engines. The revolutionary new W185ax compressor has the ability to run nearly 30lbs of boost (engine modifications required) for unheralded performance.
This direct bolt-on replacement system dramatically lowers supercharger air temperatures and power consumption (hp) versus the factory Eaton roots-type / TVS 2.3L supercharger. The complete bolt-on system comes with all the necessary parts for 13lbs of boost which requires zero modifications to the engine or PCM. The Whipple Gen 5 3.0L Supercharger system comes complete with their all new 150mm throttle body, crusher inlet and 123mm cold air intake system which utilizes a slot style MAF sensor.
Other companies make false claims and inaccurate judgments regarding supercharger efficiency and kits. It's a simple fact that the Whipple Supercharger produces more air per rpm at lower temps and lower parasitic losses. The factory engine can run up to 17psi on pump gas while modified engines can run up to 25psi.
The Whipple Supercharger kit will give you the potential to have one of the fastest, most powerful street machines on the road today. The Whipple high pressure housing and discharge plate offers far more plenum area as well as a much greater radius to help distribute the air evenly over the entire intercooler core. Whipple's air bypass system was also properly engineered into the SC discharge for proper function unlike other systems. This allows lower discharge temps and less parasitic losses during operation. Don’t fall for the misleading advertising, there is simply no comparison in quality and performance.

If you are in the market for quality products that would give you the highest horsepower gain in your engine, then look no further as Whipple Supercharger is the brand for you. They also offer other products, which include intercoolers, cold air intakes, and a power kit.
The amount of horsepower gain would depend on your current setup such as the type of pulleys, fuel system, exhaust, and internal components that you use. But for a stock engine, adding a Whipple Superchargers can add up between 30% to 50% of the car’s original horsepower output.
A Whipple Supercharger is one of the three types of superchargers available in the market. The twin-screw design was developed to fill the tremendous voids that the centrifugal, turbo and roots superchargers have. Though their function are all the same, its twin screw design allows it to be less susceptible to suffer from heat stroke. This helps improve its efficiency and reaction time.
Installing a Whipple Supercharger is pretty straightforward. It mounts on top of an engine intake system and most kits come with all the necessary hardware needed for the install.
The system is operated by a pulley, which is driven by the engine’s pulley drive system. The way Whipple Supercharger works is it uses twin screws to compress air and force it inside the engine. The more air you can put in, the more fuel you can add, which in turn create better and more powerful combustion.
This depending on the kit and vehicle application. Prices for these superchargers can range between $3000 to $12,000.
Yes. Whipple Superchargers advertises that they are the most powerful and emission-friendly supercharger available in the market.

For a company to void your warranty, they need to prove that the modification done on the vehicle is the cause of the warranty claim - unless the warranty clause of your vehicle clearly states that adding an aftermarket component would void the warranty. For this, better check your vehicle’s manual for what is included in your warranty.
