Whipple Supercharged Performance

[WICKEDOWESIX]

How many of you have Whipple Gen 5 3.0L superchargers on your +2021?

I have one on my Escalade and I am loving the performance over stock! I purchased it as soon as it became available, just at the end of November 2022.

1/4 mile time is 12.74 @ 109.66mph (stock 14.91 @ 93.77), 0-60 mph is 4.59 (stock 6.85) seconds
Pump 91 octane fuel and Lucas Octane Booster
Escalade has a curb weight of 6,154 lbs + the supercharger kit weight ~155 lbs + me 220 lbs = ~6,529 lbs

I love it! Did you install it yourself?

Thank you! Yes, I installed it by my self at home in my garage in 1 day. I also installed the Corsa Sport too, that was a little easier to do than the Whipple LOL

That’s badass, I am considering one myself for my wife’s Denali. How much of the intake was included? Does the pcm unlock/tuning allow for further tuning?

@WICKEDOWESIX Did you do any internal changes to components? Any other mods to make that HP boost not grenade our 6.2’s???

Thank you. It's a complete kit so you resuse your factory air box and they supply you with a silicone elbow to connect to the supercharger. You can't tune anything beyond what whipple tunes for.

No, the engine and drive train are completely stock.

Thanks for posting the before and after statistics! Using my trusty drag racing calculator, that's a 225.16 RWHP improvement!

I'm all for delta changes of what works or what doesn't. I don't like the biased opinion or here say results. This was the real deal holyfield, tried and tried and tested

Any videos in Mexico? Lets hear her purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Unfortunately, these are the only videos I have currently. I'll get some better videos when the weather clears up.

Awesome, I thought I read depending on the model computer it could be unlocked and used with Hp tuners, I would like to do some extra tuning on the pcm if it was possible.
Thanks for your response

The torque management. There is no tuning for the transmission yet so the TCM is pulling power from the launch. Its 4wd so no wheel spin.

On all +2021 SUV, you can't do any further tuning. For the Trucks, you can tune them, they have different systems.

@WICKEDOWESIX
MPG on "normal" driving?
MPG on "spirited" driving?

How was the self install...any surprises? They have a proper install guide you can share? If you did the self install, how did you get your computer unlocked...remote/sent to them?

Mpg really depends how you drive it with road conditions.
19-22+ hwy super cruise driving
10.5-14 spirited driving

this was super cruise set to 85 mph, full tank, 4 passangers

It was easy for me, I am very mechanically inclined and definitely not my first rodeo. The installation guide is "ok", they are for a truck install, not an SUV. You send in your PCM for the unlock and calibration.
