Whipple 3.8L Upgrade for the 2023 Raptor R!

[black03]

Whipple's first 3.8L Gen 5 supercharger upgrade kit is just about to head our way! Now we just need our Raptor R to show up. Can't wait to see the results of this thing. Knowing what the 3.8L did to my 2020 GT500 CFTP I got a feeling it's gonna be ridic.

Any results for this modification? Also what about the 2024 R, since it is 20 more Hp from Ford over the 23?

The change in power is more a tuning change from factory than anything, so an aftermarket blower with its own tune would not be affected. If it was a physical change, i.e. new exhaust, displacement, etc, then it would be affected.

These kits make 800+whp/620ishtq with 93 octane. They're impressive and the cooling to boot is even more impressive.

I'm assuming when you are saying the word cooling that you're implying that the intake air temperatures are low for the boost being produced and that the intercooler that comes as part of this kit works extremely well?

Probably a safe bet.

Wouldnt a 3.0 be a LOT more efficient? I got one a 3.8 on my Hawk and it requires GOBS of fuel plus the parasitic loss to turn that is crazy! That just sounds silly for a stock motor.

Not on the predator motor. The heads flow so well that the larger displacement blower works better on that platform. Whipple tested the 3.0L on the 2020-2022 GT500 and found that it just wasn't enough so they went to the 3.8L which worked much better. That's why it's used on the Raptor R.

8000rpm on a motor breathing up there makes the 3.8 happy.
Will there be a Gen 6 design coming?

Gen 6 3.8L will definitely be coming soon.
