My first build in 8 years. Owned 2016 dodger charger srt hellcat. My goal is low 9’s the car is a daily but on the other side I drive 10 min to work.
as now spec
Corza exhaust
Cat delete
Fi intercooler blower spacers
Not tuned.
sponsored from my job we ordered gen 5 wipple stage 2
I ordered driveshaft 4” single drive shaft
I have 1050cc injectors but I know that won’t be enough. Doing a duel pump don’t know what kind I’ll be honest. Goal for the car is low 9’s for a daily. I do understand i will need to set the boost down.

I suggest insulating blanket for the bottom of the blower. People have seen real results with them.

You think still going to need it with the gen 5 whipple ? I seen the blanket but haven’t seen much on it so didn’t really know. If I was going to stay with the original supercharger I was going to get the billet bearing plate.

That's a good question. I don't know the answer to that one.
However, if you have the extra space afforded by the blower spacers, insulation under the blower complex (unless you have cool and/or refrigerated air blowing through under the blower) can keep a little more heat from radiating between the valley and the supercharger.

An aluminum foil envelope with a layer of fiberglass insulation stuffed in it, slid under the supercharger, may do something, too.

I was surprised to read that the blower insulation did ANYTHING, honestly, but people's results have been real, to my surprise.

My friend has a gen 5 whipple on his 2017 Mustang and it gets hot, hot, hot. I don't know what it has as far as heat exchanger and pump, but what comes with these kits is usually pretty mediocre. It got so hot that after a run he came back into the staging lanes and popped the hood, and I reached down and grabbed the hood prop bar and literally almost burned my hand. His car also has no hood ventilation though, either. This was after an 1/8 mile pass. And he wasn't even putting a lot of boost to it yet, because he hadn't swapped pulleys. I think it was around 600 to the tires then.

PD blowers/boost makes heat. I would spend some serious time researching and thinking about how you are going to deal with that issue, regardless of which blower you run.
