Whipple Unveils Gen 5 Supercharger for 2007-2014 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
Whipple has produced some of the most popular superchargers on the market for both the Ford F-150 and Ford Mustang in recent years. The company’s latest and greatest product, its Gen 5 line of superchargers, debuted a couple of years ago for the 2018 and newer S550 Mustang. That was followed by a new Gen 5 unit for the Shelby GT350, and now Whipple has announced its latest Gen 5 product — a shiny new blower for the S197-generation, 2007-2014 Shelby GT500.
The new supercharger measures in at a rather large 3.8L and is capable of producing over 2,000 horsepower in full blown racing applications. It utilizes Whipple’s all new 3/4 asymmetrical rotor design and a new housing, as well as a massive 150 mm Roval throttle body and an all-new 123 mm cold-air intake system. For those who want to go full bore, an optional race port is available as well.
Even better, the S197 Mustang GT500 Whipple supercharger is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory blower, giving owners the ability to run far higher boost levels than the factory 122 cubic-inch roots-type 2300 or 2650 TVS superchargers. The Whipple unit is also designed to dramatically lower supercharger discharge temperatures, and in turn reduce power consumption.
