There are 4 Whipple supercharges listed on this page. Can someone explain the differences between the Gen 2,3 & 4 superchargers and which one I would put on 13' Gen 1. There are also 2 Gen 4's listed. Thanks

No expert,since mine was done at Shelby Factory but pretty sure its the Tuning and one has Dual Fans with Intercooler and one just has the Intercooler....I'd give them a call,heard they are a good company.
What I can say is I Freakin LOVE mine....and its $$ well spent..! But understand you will never get more than 10-12mpg because you will never want to take your foot off the gas,and the sound of it is intoxicating..!!! :Caffeine:

The differences are in the rotors, the gen 4 will make more boost with the same size pulleys, more mass flow means more power and less heat. Cases are the same and you could always upgrade later, but it will be more expensive in the long run. If the cost doesn't effect you go gen 4. Eventually you won't be able to get the gen 3 stuff anymore, I don't think you can get a gen 2 new at this point.

Gen 3 vs. Gen 2: Whipple made a revolutionary design change to the rotors. The Gen 3 will make ~ 30 more rwhp over a Gen 2 primarily by efficiency (it takes less power to drive the Gen 3 rotors, so this is basically "free" power)

Gen 4 vs. Gen 3: They made an evolutionary design change to the rotors. All else equal, the Gen 4 will make a little more boost and ~5-6 more horsepower over a Gen 3, per the person I spoke to at Whipple.

The JDM Gen 4 kit with the twin 65mm TB and upgraded heat exchanger is a good setup but I think you are going to need larger injectors than that kit comes with (47 lb/hr).

Also, the Whipple stage 2 kit will make more power with the larger twin 68mm throttle body. It also comes with 60 lb/hr injectors and the upgraded heat exchanger is standard instead of optional...

You can catch this kit for sale at Lethal Performance several times per year at 15% off.

One drawback: JDM's tune is going to be a little more refined than Whipple's. I can recommend a good tuner if you want to have yours dialed in just right, though. You would just need a laptop to run the data logs and some time to go back and forth with him.

I recommend installing headers with the Whipple stage 2 to really let the motor breathe and also to let it roar.

Note: the Whipple stage 2 kit was developed by Whipple for Shelby's Baja 700 trucks back in 2013/2014...

Thank you for all the information. I may be asking you a question or two before I buy. Cheers
