How would the supercharger affect the engine life?
One of Whipple?s main goals is to provide the most reliable systems available, this is why Whipple Superchargers go to such great lengths to get the systems correct. Nobody does more testing than Whipple. Whipple also utilizes a unique bypass valve design, which lets engine life be unaffected. Our system is so efficient and produces such useable torque, that you are rarely at full throttle for any length of time. When you are at cruise speed or idle, the bypass allows the engine to breathe normally, no boost. Only when you depress the throttle aggressively does the bypass close and you have an instant 6-psi of boost. The combination of our unique bypass valve and reasonable amounts of boost, engine life is not effected.
