I’m about to put the same supercharger in my 18’ Z71 Single Cab. Very impressed with this build. Hoping to put down some good numbers. Daily driven as well. 👍
@@Daniel3R unfortunately hr is still running the ver conservative tune that whipple included with the kit. A dyno tune is in the future but I believe he wants to put on a larger throttle body first
@@turbojeremy13im looking to get a similar set up. I live in an area that in the winter time can get to freezing or below freezing and was wondering if I should be concerned ?
@mauricioguevara7636 no, not at all. The exhaust doesn't care about the air temps and the whipple has antifreeze running through it just like the engine does.
I have stock muffler with long tube headers. And it sounds perfect. Not loud not stock… then I have an exhaust dump valve before the muffler just so if I want my town whole to hear my truck
It's called smooth boost. The methanol kit is your basic stage 2 snow kit with the pwm controller that ramps up the duty cycle of the pump as boost increases. The nice thing about that is if the boost is turned down with the smooth boost, the amount of meth sprayed goes down automatically because it sees less boost and reduces the pwm on the meth pump
I'm contemplating on a new whipple gen 5 3.0 on my 2015 stock 6.2. Have you done any internal work to this engine? I've heard dredded stories about the pistons in these breaking under boost.
Crank journal split is coming with that amount of boost on stock bottom end…….ask me how I know. The cranks in the 6.2 n/a are not as good as you think.
I would if I was still there. I moved to ky in October of 22. The owner of the truck is still there which is why there hasn't been any new videos since then. Although, he plans to move out here later this year. I heard about insane power closing their doors.
@@turbojeremy13 ahh ok. I have a 2020 sierra 6.2 with a 3.0 whipple kit but my setup wont allow a meth nozzle on the intake tube as its a silicone coupler from tb to airbox. The snout has a 90 elbow so i was thinking of just tapping the nozzle on the outer bend of the snout. The reason im looking into water/meth is that im running out of fuel system. Even on the supplied pulley the low side is having a hard time keeping up. I put a 3.875 pulley that makes 9.5-10psi to tune it on but it was losing way to much pressure on both high and low side injector pulse was going beyond 10ms at redline which is quite a bit wider then the DI window allows for basically 150% duty cycle. You mentioned running 15psi boost, thats quite a bit im impressed just the water/meth can make up for the lack of fuel system our trucks have, although that is a 5.3 i reckon the fuel demand is less. I cant run that much boost on a 6.2 with 11.5:1 compression. Ill be happy with 10psi should be more then enough to take a trx to gapplebees.

At the time of making this video, the trans was 100% stock. In the last month, an external transmission cooler was added. It wasn't over heating, the cooler was added just as a precaution. Other than the cooler, it's completely stock.
Thanks for the response. I just recently bought a whipple 3.0 supercharger coming my way. I am debating between removing the cats or leaving them on. Tuner tells me he recommends removing the cats if going 12 pounds of boost or leaving them if run stock 6-7 pounds boost. I prefer to have cats on the truck. But I am concern I can clog the cats and damage the motor with extra boost. What is your recommendation or how long did your friends truck noticed he clogged his cat? How much boost was he running?
@cnctoolsl.l.c.9497 he never clogged the cats. He was getting a CEL for cat efficiency which means that cat wasn't cleaning properly but it wasn't clogged. He was already running 15psi. But thanks to the smooth boost, he could turn the boost down from inside the cab while driving. So he would turn it down most of the time when just cruising around. The other benefit of the smooth boost is that boost can be brought in progressively by how quickly throttle is applied. You will find that the mechanical bypass valve that comes with the whipple is either open or closed, nothing in between and it opens and closes abruptly. Gets annoying when driving in stop and go traffic
@@cnctoolsl.l.c.9497with a blower set up you want the most optimal exhaust system I'm talked 2" headers x pipe no cats 3" exhaust as well as the largest diameter cold air intake that has been proven. Those two things alone will drastically effect the performance
The conservative estimation based on boost and air flow (lbs per minute), a little over 700hp. Currently has a safe "base" tune but will get a good dyno tune in the near future
@rippenxwhiskey4358 very happy I could help. If you have any other questions along the way, feel free to ask. I should also mention, Ryan who owns the truck, drives it hard. He has a heavy right foot lol
@turbojeremy13 that's good to know, I'm now just trying to find one that will fit my truck, 2001 silverado with a 5.3, it's really clean and I'm the second owner. It's also my daily
@rippenxwhiskey4358 have you tried contacting whipple directly? If they don't have one I assume they can point you in the right direction. Of course turbo is always an option 😉
Really impressed with how well those fit. Some times you never know with long tube headers if there is going to be fitment issues or not
It was unbelievable how well they fit in

This truck is driven daily and is super reliable. Would definitely recommend it for daily driving

Do you have cats? Or a resonator?

No internal work of any kind. It has never been opened up. Just bolted up the blower, exhaust and water/meth kit and have been enjoying it
Crank journal split is coming with that amount of boost on stock bottom end…….ask me how I know. The cranks in the 6.2 n/a are not as good as you think.
I am trying to do a similar setup on my truck, would you install the supercharger here in Vegas?
I would if I was still there. I moved to ky in October of 22. The owner of the truck is still there which is why there hasn't been any new videos since then. Although, he plans to move out here later this year.
I heard about insane power closing their doors.
Can I have all info on boost controller please I would love to have something like that
This is the company that makes it. Definitely makes the truck a much better daily driver

Stock fuel system? Where did you mount the water/meth nozzle?
Yes, stock fuel system.
The meth nozzle is mounted in the intake piping about 6" in front of the throttle body.

@@kevinvieira2874 in your case you would get a throttle body spacer flange that sprays it pre throttle body.
Is the transmission stock or has it been built for the extra power?

My question is, how reliable is it after having it in the truck that long?
The whipple and the long tubes have been on the truck for about 3 years now. The truck is a daily driver. Everything still works exactly as it should
