Whiplash Supercharger Upgrade

The excitement of driving with my new Whiplash Supercharger on has been postponed. I decided to upgrade to the new aircraft bearings that Whiplash is now offering since I will be eventually boosting this motor quite high. These bearings offer longer life and lower heat levels which in turn can actually help add a little more power to the supercharger. They are not cheap, but well worth the money ($425). I sent it back out today to get the upgrade, and expect to have it back within a few weeks. I also found out that Whiplash will be releasing a upgraded polished billet compressor wheel, but it won't be ready for a month or so and there is no pricing or info yet! As always I will be posting the info on this blog as it comes.

Whiplash Supercharger Install Ahead Of Schedule

Installation begins this weekend!

For all of you who are interested in how this Whiplash Supercharger installs into the vehicle I will be reporting my experience following this weekend. I will also be creating updated installation instructions, as none currently exist for the 2009 Whiplash Supercharger kit. I will be including step by step instructions, photos and tools required to complete the job.

The kit being installed this weekend is the Complete Whiplash Supercharger System. Currently you can find the at http://www.lagunaspeed.com/ . The kit includes a supercharger, carriage, serpentine belt, boost gauge, Diablosport Predator with custom CMR tune, Diablosport PC interface kit (USB) and a complete intake conversion kit. The only thing you will need to supply is tools & a small piece of 3/4 heater hose (available at any autoparts store).

Now only a few more weeks before I'm back out on the 1/4 mile track to find out how much time this supercharger shaved!

Dodge Charger V6 1/4 Mile Run Times

Got my 1/4 mile run in at Auto Club Dragway in Fontana this weekend. I was hoping to get at least 3 runs in, but the place was a little crowded so I took my one run down the track and got a 16.656@ 86.12MPH. No surprise, as this is almost identical to the run time that the Los Angeles Police Department got on a 2006 model 3.5L Charger several years ago.

Just to recap! This 2007 Dodge Charger has a custom dual exhaust, Diablosport Predator tuner and was running on 91 octante with octane booster at the event.

Now It's only a matter of time before I'm back out at the track posting run times with my Whiplash Supercharger kit. Should be interesting!

Check my photos for my run time. My car number is #6845 driving in the left lane on the slip!
