The Whipple 3.0L supercharger is a popular upgrade for the Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcat models. When installed, it significantly enhances the performance of the 6.2L HEMI V8 engine. Here are the key performance statistics you can expect from a Hellcat with a 3.0L Whipple supercharger:
Performance Gains
Horsepower and Torque:
Stock Hellcat (6.2L Supercharged V8): Around 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque.
Hellcat with 3.0L Whipple Supercharger: Power output can increase significantly, often exceeding 900-1,000+ horsepower and 900+ lb-ft of torque, depending on supporting modifications (fuel system, exhaust, tuning, etc.).
Acceleration:
0-60 mph times can drop to the low 3-second range or even below, depending on traction and other modifications.
Quarter-mile times can improve to the mid to high 9-second range with proper tuning and setup.
Boost Pressure:
The 3.0L Whipple supercharger typically runs higher boost pressures compared to the stock supercharger, contributing to the significant increase in power. Boost levels can vary but are generally around 15-20 psi or higher.
Supporting Modifications
To fully capitalize on the Whipple 3.0L supercharger's potential, several supporting modifications are often necessary:
Fuel System:
Upgraded fuel injectors
High-flow fuel pump
Fuel pressure regulator
Exhaust System:
Long tube headers
High-flow catalytic converters or catless setup
Upgraded exhaust system for better flow
Cooling:
Upgraded intercooler
Improved cooling system to handle the additional heat generated
Tuning:
Custom ECU tuning to optimize air-fuel ratios, ignition timing, and boost levels
Dyno tuning for precise performance adjustments
Reliability and Drivability
Reliability:
Proper installation and tuning are crucial for maintaining reliability.
Regular maintenance and monitoring of critical parameters (oil temperature, coolant temperature, etc.) are essential.
Using high-quality engine oils and fluids is recommended to ensure longevity.
Drivability:
Despite the significant increase in power, the Whipple supercharger is known for maintaining good drivability characteristics.
Smooth power delivery and responsiveness are typical benefits of the Whipple design.
These statistics and considerations provide a general overview of what you can expect from a Hellcat with a 3.0L Whipple supercharger. Actual performance results can vary based on specific vehicle setups and additional modifications.
The Whipple 3.8L supercharger is an even more substantial upgrade compared to the 3.0L version, offering tremendous performance enhancements for Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcat models. Here are the key performance statistics and expectations for a Hellcat with a 3.8L Whipple supercharger installed:
Performance Gains
Horsepower and Torque:
Stock Hellcat (6.2L Supercharged V8): Around 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque.
Hellcat with 3.8L Whipple Supercharger: Power output can exceed 1,000 horsepower and 950+ lb-ft of torque, with some builds reaching 1,200 horsepower or more, depending on supporting modifications (fuel system, exhaust, tuning, etc.).
Acceleration:
0-60 mph times can drop to the low 3-second range or even below, depending on traction and other modifications.
Quarter-mile times can improve to the low to mid 9-second range, and with optimal setup, some cars may even break into the 8-second range.
Boost Pressure:
The 3.8L Whipple supercharger typically runs higher boost pressures compared to the stock and 3.0L superchargers, contributing to the substantial increase in power. Boost levels can vary but are generally around 20-25 psi or higher.
Supporting Modifications
To fully leverage the potential of the Whipple 3.8L supercharger, several supporting modifications are necessary:
Fuel System:
Larger fuel injectors
High-flow fuel pump or multiple pumps
Upgraded fuel rails
Fuel pressure regulator
Exhaust System:
Long tube headers
High-flow catalytic converters or a catless setup
Larger diameter exhaust system for improved flow
Cooling:
Upgraded intercooler
Improved cooling system with larger radiators and additional cooling fans
Heat exchangers to manage increased heat output
Engine Internals:
The Whipple 3.8L supercharger can maintain good drivability characteristics despite the significant increase in power.
Smooth power delivery and throttle response are benefits of the Whipple design.
Adjustments to suspension and braking systems may be necessary to handle the increased power safely.
These statistics and considerations provide a general overview of what you can expect from a Hellcat with a 3.8L Whipple supercharger. Actual performance results can vary based on specific vehicle setups and additional modifications.
