I am looking to supercharge my 2013 5.0 and I am looking at either the 2.8l Whipple or the 2.8l Kenne Bell supercharger kits. Which one would be best. What's the differences. My main power goal is 800-900hp but right now is be happy with 550-600hp

Have you considered paxton? They can make 1000 hp and would be cheaper

I really wanna go the twin screw route. It's not about the money. I just like the whine they put off. Plus ik they can put out some serious power I just don't know which brand is better.

Out of the two you said easily go with Kenne Bell, whipple isnt that great IMO. Have you thought about turbos? I know that somewhat unorthodox for mustangs, but that could get you up to 1000hp.

Is that 800-900 hp at the Flywheel or Rear Wheel ?
Yah......Kenne bell has a 2.8 and Whipple has 3 sizes....2.3, 2.9, and 3.4.
I guess it all depends on what you mean buy.. "best" . Personally, I prefer
a twin screw as well and went with a Whipple-HO.

I've heard turbos get way to hot that was my first option. But then again I've drove a kb cobra and loved it and I just can't seem to get away from the whine of a twin screw lol

Rear wheel. And is your whipple quiet?

Off topic but . . . .


That's funny!

Ohhh so you want more whine? I must admit the whine is kinda cool sometimes. I prefer Kenne Bell for overall performance, but from what i've seen/heard whipple puts out a really nice whine.

Diabolical!

Man this was a tough decision for me. I agonized for months over whether I should get a Saleen, Kenne Bell, or Whipple. I learned early on that the Saleen ran out of flow too early in the boost range for my liking, and it's not on your list anyway so I'll skip it.

So it came down to Whipple and Kenne Bell. To make up my mind, I tracked down guys who ran both and ran them at the drag strip. They both heat soak, but the Kenne Bell suffered from significantly more heat soak. After a run down the track, the whipple was hot to the touch, but not so hot that you couldn't hold your palm to it. The Kenne Bell was EXTREMELY HOT. So hot that if you held your hand to it for more than a couple of seconds you were going to regret it. After a 15-20 minute cool down period, the whipple was cool to the touch. The Kenne bell, still hot. Not nearly as hot as it was right after the run, but still hotter than it should be. I also noticed that the Kenne Bell equipped car was gaining time between runs, even though its cool down periods were longer. That and the fact that the Whipple came with a new dual pump fuel system made my mind up for me. I honestly love both brands, but when I go to the track I like to make as many runs as possible so the Whipple was the best choice for me.
