Whipple 4.5 is here

I would like to start off by saying thank you to Whipple Superchargers. You guys make some great products and have helped us grow to be the largest Whipple dealer in the US! This is the new 4.5 liter supercharger. They are now available through us. The pictures are just a mach up that Whipple was nice enough to send us. We will have one on the dyno laying out some 4 digit hp numbers soon! Keep your eyes open for the dyno videos.

Waiting on the rest of the car to be finished, then getting strapped down to our dyno!

I too am building a 4.5 whippled LS. Mine is a 408 though. Check out my thread and let me know if I'm on the right path. I'd appreciate any help I can get.

The 4.5 liters are only a couple mm taller than a 3.3/4.0. And that's only because of the casted Whipple logo. They're wider. That's it.
Here's a 4.0(polished) and a 4.5 case(raw)

In a normal car, pump gas, you should be close to the 1000hp at the wheels. I can't wait to see what our 454 is going to make.

It should be whatever belt line you want. But I would recommend doing a single 10 rib on the blower only. If you are going to be running more then 8psi even on an 8 rib, I can see belt slip being a problem.

Damn things look bulletproof with that polishing.
