Description

980R Big Whipple Screw Blower

The 980R Big Whipple Screw Blower is a serious high-performance forced-induction component designed for demanding applications where substantial airflow and increased engine power are required. Built around Whipple’s screw-type supercharger technology, this large blower is suited to high-output street, drag racing, and competition-oriented engine combinations.

The 980R’s large screw-blower architecture is designed to move significant volumes of air while providing the pressurized intake charge required by high-performance engines. Its configuration makes it particularly attractive for builders developing high-horsepower combinations where a large-capacity supercharger is an important part of the overall package.

Unlike conventional centrifugal superchargers, a screw-type blower uses positive-displacement-style compression to deliver pressurized air directly to the engine. This can provide strong boost characteristics throughout the operating range when the supercharger is properly matched to the engine and supporting components.

The 980R Big Whipple is an excellent choice for serious performance projects, including custom race builds, high-output street cars, drag applications, and other specialized vehicles requiring substantial forced-induction capability. Proper installation should include a compatible drive system, intake arrangement, fuel system, cooling system, and engine-management calibration.

For builders who want a substantial Whipple screw-blower platform for a serious performance project, the 980R offers a purpose-built foundation around which a complete high-output combination can be developed.
