Looks good Jim. Out of curiosity, are the rotors on the 3.8 longer or larger than the 3.0?

Will check tonight. I have my 3.0 -
At home 3.8 got shipped to work

Yea no plastic pieces like the 3.0. All billet. Plan on making 1400 whp with it or throw a Turbo kit on havnt decided yet. Mite throw the 3.8 on my Trackhawk.

 

[GNBRETT]

I dont have a 3.0 to compare but the 3.8 is about 2 inches taller with the upgraded intercooler packs so im guessing the rotors are quite a bit larger.

Guys running the 3.0 Whipple with billet motors make 1200 whp. The 3.8 makes 1400 whp. Thats right from my buddy who swapped his and picked up exactly 200 whp with it so the rotors are likely huge which imo means this is only good on the street with a larger CI motor with good heads otherwise the 3.0 seems much more effecient down low.

Turning the 3.8 vs. the 3.0 will certainly result in quite a bit more parasitic loss but it makes gobs of power so if one has the motor for it then I think its great or if someone simply wants to drag race its great to.

Yeah lots of products do but why does whipple make the 3.0 for the coyote with o rings and not the 3.0/3.8 for the hellcats?

As always gen III hemi gets half baked designs from whipple.

They also send cheap intake gaskets also. The 3.8 is built far nicer than the 3.8

Yep, I had a 4.5 I won’t go on about the nightmare I went through with it, stock gaskets with rtv still wouldn’t seal the warped manifold (2 of them). Had to get o ringed spacers

 

[Unholy707]

I will say the 3.8 looks like a quality unit, even the 3.0 was better planned than the 4.5. Still, they could have o ringed it

 

[Unholy707]

The 4.5 was crap cast aluminum cleaned up on a CNC. Are the 3.8’s made from billet? (Not the rotors, the case)

I will say whipple is not the best in customer service. You buy a throttle body spacer to fit their 112mm TB and it don’t fit have to buy a long 120mm that’s another 1300. I would have sold my 112mm if I knew that.

Yes the case is billet. Top is cast
