GEN 1 Whipple Kit Install :D

MTF · Jan 20, 2019

561 RWHP which works out to 715-720 HP with full stock exhaust.
With Headers, you gain 10 rwhp but torque increases by 40 to 50 ft Lbs.

Tractions bars are a must, and now that the Rogue Racing Traction bars are $1,500, I highly recommend them.
I installed them myself with basic tools, no welding required.

I paid $3,300 for them 4 years ago and the powder coating wasn't holding up to NYC salt, they replaced them once for me.
I had to repaint them again last year, but I did it myself with Rustolem Enamel Gloss Black so far it's holding up pretty good.

I believe they don't do the powder coating anymore, and recommend you get them painted from a shop in your area.

Your going to need something for wheel hop or first gear will be almost unusable . SDHQ fabbed this for me and has worked flawlessly.

Do they sell that? I’m in need of something and $3k is way too much.

I need to borrow your calculator.
It’s rather optimistic.
20% loss is pretty standard for a auto.

No they don't sell that as a kit it is welded in and fabbed as they went, a one off design keeps axle from rotating but doesn't limit travel. Also it's tucked under and not visible from the side. Unlike other traction bars out there.

If they made one. They can make another.
I can weld it in.

You need to borrow the Tuner shops calculators or tell them to stop selling 700+ HP Whipple kits!!!

Yeah, 20% is for a non 4x4 car without an automatic transmission and certainly not using 35" tires.

From the Factory the Raptor claims to have 411 HP
And everyone that has dyno for base line is getting 312 to 317 rwhp. that's 24% loss.
Add 300 more HP and the math changes.
You also have to factor in the Supercharger eats up HP to make HP plus the tranny is going to slip more.
A Supercharged Raptor is anywhere from 25 to as high as 30% drivetrain loss, ask any Raptor Tuning shop.

Hi,

Sorry for the late post as I just purchased an SC from Whipple for my Gen1, and trying to see what can and should be done prior to installing the SC to minimize future removal for repairs.

Are you planning on upgrading your alternator and replace the stock oil pump with a billet oil pump? It was recommended to upgrade the alternator as getting to it again will mean removing the SC if done later... I read somewhere also that many SC 6.2 suffered from oil pump gear failure, and it is best to upgrade this prior to installing the SC.

Your thoughts as you have already have things disassembled..

Thanks for the posts!!
