Before installing your Whipple Supercharger Kit, complete the following checklist.
1. Verify Condition of Vehicle: Before the supercharger kit is installed, ensure the engine runs smoothly and that the
factory malfunction indicator light (MIL) is off. Only install the supercharger kit if the engine runs smoothly
and
the
MIL is off.

on a worn-out or modified engine is not recommended without factory computer and fuel system
modifications. Custom engine configurations could require custom tuning and other supporting
modifications.

tank must be completely drained and refilled with 91 or higher octane to 1/8
th

4. Verify Fuel System: Supercharger systems should only be installed on vehicles that have new or clean fuel filters.
5. Assess Cleanliness of Installation Area: Make sure your work area and the under-hood area are free from debris. This
