in Buy, Sell & Trade - Cards & Memorabilia
Looking to sell my Whipple Supercharger for a 1996-2000 5.7L GM. It's brand spanking new and never used. I just never got around to using it. I wanted cash, but wouldn't mind some cards or a combination of the two. I'm looking for:

1968 Topps baseball NMMT
1975 Topps baseball NMMT
1986 Fleer basketball NMMT
1970s'-80's unopened

PM and let me know what you have.

    It's an engine upgrade to increase horsepower and performance.

    It is basically a twin screw air induction system that forces air into an engine to burn fuel more efficiently resulting in a horsepower increase. Many of the diesel engines in heavy eguipment and big trucks use what is commonly called a roots blower or supercharger. This same type of supercharger is used on top fuel and funny cars in drag racing. These engines produce 10,000 or more horsepower.

    Your definition of "clearly" and mine are clearly different.

    Definition of SUPERCHARGER

    : a device (as a blower or compressor) for pressurizing the cabin of an airplane or for increasing the volume air charge of an internal combustion engine over that which would normally be drawn in through the pumping action of the pistons.

    1996-2000 = Years

    5.7L = Engine

    GM = General Motors

    What part did you miss? After he CLEARLY explained and to hit a guy with, "Dude, WTF is it?"

    You're obviously a car guy. I'm not. My best guess was this was for a high end RC car. I really didn't know. If you don't speak car-ese it's not as simple as you're acting like it is. Whipple supercharger sounds like a toy. 5.7L is obviously liters but that's not clear beyond that. GM is a generic abbreviation that could stand for a lot of things. I stand by my original question. It wasn't clear to me. So I asked.

    Good luck with the possible trade.

    Not being a car guy I had to Google what the heck it was too.

    Sadly JWall037 Clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed and put on his partner's underwear on backward because no one normally would post like that at 7:33 AM with their underwear on the right way. Best of luck tomorrow morning JWall037.

    Hi Brian,

    While you were gone, a few of us explained WTF it was that you are trying trade.

    Being a car guy I knew what it was. I'm not very familiar with the Whipple Superchargers But I did have a Roots supercharger/blower back in the late 70's. Here is my current car.

    Yeah, it is pretty rare. There were only 702 built. They were built in Canada and couldn't be sold in the US. It is estimated that there are 70-100 left and most of those are still in Canada. I figure there are 10-15 in the US.
