FalconPilot Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Sent off a note to Whipple "When will the kit for the 2003 Silverado SS be ready? Any specks? My red SS really could use a little more kick! Thanks Chad" The reply, one day later "It's ready to go, about 455 HP and 560 ft. lbs. of torque Thanks Mike O'Lane Whipple Superchargers 559-442-1261 559-442-4153 fax www.whipplesuperchargers.com [email protected]" Think the drive line can take 560 ft, lbs? (if you trust the numbers) I know the diffs are up to it, but I know NOTHING about the slush box and transfer case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUNNER Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 if you pull out all torq. Mgmnt. You tranny will be junk in a year. If you at least keep a little and dont kill it all the time should hold up. The SS tranny isnt all that much better then the standard pickup one. I think the clutch packs are a little beefier...a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Cost for the kit? Comparable to the Magnacharger Radix? What psi? Intercooled? Sorry for the questions, just want to learn as much as possible. Not to mention I have some cash burning a hole in my pocket that may be added into the deposit on a new house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 "It's ready to go, about 455 HP and 560 ft. lbs. of torque I asked about the Whipple several months ago and they said they were getting 475 out of the Escalade (same drive train). That was a 38% increase over stock. Now they are saying 455 HP, only 32% more? You should ask them how they dyno tested the SS. I wanted to dyno mine before and after, but could not find an AWD dyno that can accommodate the wheel base of the SS. Are you looking into their forthcoming intercooler?

FalconPilot Posted May 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Have not asked about the intercooler yet. As far as cost, I think it will be around $4000 with out an intercooler. do not know PSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconPilot Posted June 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 A few more questions, If I may, regarding the 2003 Silverado SS supercharger How much boost are you using? We run 6lbs. of boost Does the mileage computer still work? Yes the mileage comp. still works any problems with the transmission? Haven't had any transmissions come back to me with problems How do you get oil in the engine? It looks like the supercharger covers the stock oil fill hole. (pictures from your web site for the 6.0L) We swap the valve covers so that the oil fill is on the drivers side against the fire wall Are you planning on an intercooler in the future? We are planning an intercooler for that in about two months Does your programmer work without a supercharger? (I am thinking of getting the programmer first, then the SC) Just for tire size, shift firmness, and top speed limit Does removing the torque management reduce the life of the drivetrain? It is getting more torque through it, so it adds a little more stress There is also an 8.1 L in the fleet. Does the programmer work on the Alison tranny? The programmer doesn't work with the Allison tranny Thank you for the quick original reply! You give a great first impression. Chad If you have any more questions feel free to let me know.

BenKey Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 That's interesting. I wonder what the price will be w/intercooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
383ss Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 highly doubt the stock tranny will take that power for long if abused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calisapo Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 Not for nothing, but a Coolcharger from Dyno Proven is getting just over 500hp on the SS and Escalade. They come with a warranty to match the factory just like Magnacharger but arepretty costly. They are sold actually though certain Chevy and Cadillac dealers. Just throwing more info out there. I personally like the Powerdyne for cost/benefit. I hear they are just working on the tuning aspects right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
