Whipple Supercharger On 00 Z-71?

dragracer1955 · November 6, 2007

I've got a 2000 Z-71 that is a daily driver for me and i use it to tow a 26' camper and a 28' race car hauler with. The truck has been a very good truck and I want to keep it. I would however like to find alittle more torque and power for towing. It's got the same 4L60E trans in it bt it has been upgraded to aftermarket planitaries and such due to me breaking them a few years ago. I've been reading about these whipple superchargers and wanted to get some feedback on them. Who sells them and how are they as far as installing them. I would be doing it myself and not getting a dealer involved of course. What else is involved with the install, does the pcm have to be reprogramed or does it come with everything needed?

Thanks,

Jason

While others claim, Whipple Superchargers simply produce more power per pound of boost than any other supercharger on the market today.

WHIPPLE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM:

The new Whipple air intake system was designed for maximum airflow while protecting from power robbing heat. The factory filter system is very restrictive and limits your total power output while most of today’s aftermarket air intake systems use open element filters which actually rob horsepower from the increased air temps of the engine compartment. The Whipple system uses a high flow air filter and plastic plenum that helps increase air speeds, reduce air turbulence and protect from power robbing heat.

ENGINE GUARDIAN:

Only Whipple Superchargers offer an engine guardian system to help protect your investment. The factory PCM was designed to work with a stock, unsupercharged engine so it’s protection system cannot control boost pressure. The Whipple Engine Guardian system monitors the factory oxygen sensors, if the sensor detects a lean air/fuel mixture under open loop operation, the guardian system opens the air-bypass valve and lowers the engine boost to a safer level. This helps prevent harmful engine damage if a problem occurs. The factory PCM is also reconfigured for the proper knock detection settings for boosted operation.
