Whipple is now making thier own chargers
 

Check out thier website. Looks like some things are gonna change over there, hopefully for the better. The specs for the new chargers look very good.
Anyone need a 5liter twinscrew charger :eek2:

Kinda sucks there not complete kits.

Dont need a complete kit anyway. Do your own tuning and then piece together everything else. I woudl rether just pay for the charger and intercooler then get my own heat exhcanger and lines and do it right with the best stuff. The 3.3 and 5L are they going to be intercooler. I heard somewhere that they were dont remember though I have been doing so much research on these new chargers they are coming out with that I cant rememeber:jest:

Dont forget about the Autorotor Twin Screw chargers

The Autorotor has a 6-4 ratio screw design vs. the 5-3 ratio of the Whipple(Lysholm) screw charger. Supposedly the Autorotor comes into boost quicker than the Lysholm screw.

I just wanted you guys to know about alternatives to the Whipple units.

The new Whipple chargers are not built by Lysholm anymore, they are now manufactured by Whipple. Should be every bit as good if not better than the current autorotor unit. I just hope they will offer an intercooled kit. If they do, my plans for next year may change :secret2:

Whipple Superchargers (2005 and up)
Due to the lack of delivery and sever back order level, Whipple Superchargers began development of their own line of superchargers. With their extensive knowledge and years of experience, Whipple developed an entirely new supercharger lineup that featured all of the latest technology in rotor profile, housing, rotor coating and bearing design. The results were astounding, not only did production begin in the USA, Whipple also increased compressor efficiency, lowered overall noise level, increased reliability, engineered the ability to update and repair (some are non-repairable) and increased it’s durability for a wider variety of applications.

I would actually like boost to take a little longer to build than the autorotor I was having traction problems in 4hi wiht my old setup and the new motor will make 80-100 more hp than my old setup N/A. The blower would add another 300 or so hp since I would have the boost turned up to 15-20psi. So we dont know if it is going to be intercooler yet huh? Guess we will jsut have to spray a SHIT load of meth in there if they arent.

Do you have any proof that the Whipple's design is better than the Autorotors?? Autorotor owned Lysholm remember. There is no question that the Autorotor is a better built unit, with its billet case and larger ball bearings.

Hopefully Whipple is taking some manufacturing cues from Autorotor, the Autorotor units would be much more expensive, but the quality is better. I wonder if the new Whiple scvrewchargers will be taking teh less expensive lwer quality road or the more expensive premium quality road??


We will have to see I guess.

SO you used to have an Autorotor?? Was it expensive??

NO I didnt have an autorotor charger on my truck. My old setup was a 3k stall cammed 5.3 with full bolt ons lts and a 100 shot and I was spinning 4-6 feet in first. I just know alot of the cobra guys that have put the KB blower on their cars and having major traction problems since it builds boost so quick. A turbo would probably be best for my app since it builds boost alittle slower off the line but I woudl rather have the blower I love the sound and am not shooting for 1000rwhp so I dont need the turbo setup. It all depends on how the Whipple truns out and if they arent extremely expensive if they are in the 5K range then Ill probably pick one up this summer.
