New truck with a whipple
Hey everyone. I recently purchased a GMC Sierra 2500 that has a whipple shupercharger. I was told by the previous own, who had receipts, that the truck had a 8psi pulley and forged rotating assembly and that it was installed and tuned by a GM dealership. I know nothing about this whipple and i am looking for information about it. I have tried google but came up short handed and the whipple fourm is dead. So can someone tell me anything about my whipple. ie, size, upgrades, model? I added a photo to help. Thanks guys.

Side mount. Looks like a little blower probably a 1.0-1.3 l blower. There should be a part number stamped on it. Google that and it'll tell you a lot. Having a dealership install a forged rotating assembly sounds kinda fishy.

I have found a little more informantion on it. Its a 1.6L twin screw orginaly made by Lysholm. And a Lysholm 2.3 will bolt up for a upgrade. The forged rotating assembly was install by performance shop after the dealer installed and tuned the SC. Sorry i left that out.

Old side mount whipple should be 2.3 liter.
Will also have 2 injectors either pre or post blower.
(Kit lets you install either way)
Comes with a electronic controller
Meth is a great option for these non intercooled blowers.

Never mind, just saw the picture load.
What kind of engine is that? Not LS based.
It is a small blower. The 2.3 is a bit longer.
PS 8 PSI is a lot of PSI for that small blower.
Lots if heat being generated. Meth would be great for that
