calisscruzin Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 (edited) So I just bought me a 2005 SS AWD Supercharged with a Whipple. Got it for $18,600! Good Deal right? 32k miles. I hope so. Anywho, I hear alot of bad things about this supercharger and not being able to produce power like it should. So what I want to do is get the most out of it. First off this truck will never see the track. It will be more of a daily driver but I want that Power on Demand. What upgrades should I get to get the most out of this supercharger. I dont want to buy a better supercharger just get the most out of this one. HELP PLEASE! Fuel management? Electronics? and the biggest upgrade.... What set up of Air/Air Intercooler do I need?? Where can I find the set up to buy or peice together??? Edited April 17, 2010 by calisscruzin (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chpspecial Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I don't know where you got your info from but those are not bad supperchargers. the only bad thins is that they never got the refinement needed on our truck like the mustang guys get.... with that said, look for ditch the whippletronics and aux injectors, put in some bigger ones, add a good air to air intercooler from like a turbo set up and get a good live tune and you will be happy.

diggerdan11 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 yeah everything i have heard about the whipple says that there is nothing wrong with the Supercharger itself. The problem is the Whipple programmer. Get bigger injectors and a custom PCM tune and it should reach its full potential. But if you really dont like it you could always just take it off and give it to me : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 you must open the Throttle body up. and the rear of the supercharger. those work good if you get alot more air in, there is big gains with compressors by enlarging the opening of the pump.

calisscruzin Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Thank you for your help, I am going to get the Walbro 255 Fuel pump and does anyone have any suggestions on what size fuel injectors? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I say get 60's, you might get by with 42's. goto performancetrucks.net and look for a guy who added an FMIC and ditched the aux injectors. You might also look at using Meth. I spent alot of time reading on kennebell.net too look for the tech articles, tons of info. they are nice because they are actual compressors, unlike the eaton's that just push the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought a diablo sport predator, can I tune it with this? yes you can just pull them off, add a block of plate to where the injectors mount, or just leave them in as dummies. The Diablo sport is only good to you if you have a base FI tune. If its a normal tuner for a gas truck its going to leave a lot to be desired. Your best bet is to get a cutom tune from one of the vendors here, or get proper tuning software that will allow you to have full control of your PCM Edit: don't forget to add some sort of intercooler, A2A, A2W Edited June 3, 2012 by chpspecial (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumbeepride Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Where can I get a block plate, I need a good tune, any ideas where to get these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Thats a steal of a price for the mods and the miles! Hows the tranny holding? You might be more worried about beefing that up right now. Those black on silver birch stripes are my favorite, very nice setup. Did you buy that from another member? It looks very familiar...
