WHIPPLE SUPERCHARGERS
Whipple 2020-2022 Shelby GT500 5.2L Predator Gen 6 3.8L Supercharger Upgrade Kit
The Whipple Gen 6 3.8L Supercharger Upgrade Kit transforms the already potent 2020-2022 Shelby GT500 into a true 1,000+ horsepower performer while maintaining 50-state emissions compliance. Replacing the factory 2.65L supercharger with Whipple's massive Gen 6 W235AX 3.8L twin-screw supercharger, this complete upgrade delivers dramatically increased airflow, lower charge temperatures, and significantly greater power potential without requiring internal engine modifications.
Engineered around Whipple's patented dual-core, dual-pass intercooler technology, oversized Crusher™ inlet system, billet 132mm throttle body, and 145mm cold air intake, the system provides exceptional thermal efficiency and consistent performance. On a completely stock 5.2L Predator engine using 93-octane fuel, the system is capable of producing up to 1,035 engine horsepower at approximately 16 psi of boost, representing an increase of roughly 275 horsepower over the factory configuration while retaining OEM drivability and reliability.
