2011 V6 whipple kit?

I have seen alittle info on the 5.0 ford racing whipple kit. But I havent seen a thing on the V6 kit. I would love to order a v6 if I could get a whipple kit.

I think a 2011 V6 with a whipple(mayeb 450hp) and some GT options would make a great DD.

Not going to happen, not a whipple. You may very well see some centri kits or a turbo but doubt you will see a roots or twinscrew. The top of the V6 is so narrow that for one thing you can't fit a intercooler and the other thing is it would sit so high that there may be hood clearance issues.

As powerful as the new V6 is, I doubt it's aftermarket will gain enough momentum to make Whipple feel there would be substantial profability by offering a supercharger kit for it. Just my opinion, and I guess we just need to sit back and wait.

I'm sure there will be centrifugal supercharger kits and Urist at Hellion is considering doing a turbo kit.

Compression ratio is a little lower than a Coyote and there is a lot more room around the motor in the engine compartment so getting parts to fit should be easier.

But fitting a whipple or eaton or a KB is problematic due to the narrow angle of the motor and hood clearance restrictions because of the narrow angle. There is no room to put the intercooler in the valley like there is on the V8.

You know since Vortech and procharger has supercharger kits for 94-2010, you might
see a kit for the 2011 3.7L. I just wish there was a C.A.R.B. exempt turbo kits for
my year V6.
