I was dead set on adding a ROUSH supercharger to my 2019 GT then started thinking Whipple, but after reading many post I am concerned about reliability and losing the strut tower brace. Is there anyone here that had been running a super charger on a 2018 or 2019 for a good amount of miles. Also, have you noticed any handling differences after removing the strut tower brace? What have you found is a good street tire size and brand to harness the power? All input welcome.

I know this is thread is a bit old, but I am considering the same with a 2020 GT base model (manual trans). I want to go with a SC but I daily drive my car and drive it at least 5x per week. I want reliable, and CARB compliant. Anyone have any suggestions on Super Charger with 2018 and newer GT's? Thanks!

Roush?

Roush?

Roush seems like the popular way to go. There is as much info on it as I thought there would be with the 2018-2021 application. I've heard that Roush has a harder time keeping IAT low but I wonder if that is negligible if I am just daily driving. Anyone daily driving an Edelbrock, Procharger, Roush, or Whipple that could chime in? Thank you!

2016 car stage 2 whipple. No issues other than without drag radials you have zero traction. Running the whipple tune. I know stage one has a carb # but not sure about stage 2.

2017 Stage 2 GEN5 Whipple with their tune and CARB # like 808muscle said no issues but spinning tires when not using dr

26k miles on my Procharger setup. Nitto 555r2 are great tires and available in 19

I have had a Whipple on my car since 2016 or approx 5 years ,no issues
Toss a new belt on about every year since they tend to squeek over time

2019 6 speed with a paxton 2200. Carb compliant and runs great with no issues so far. Also cheaper than most other setups.

I had a lot of trouble with prochargers carb tune. So take it for what it’s worth

I wonder if the CARB compliant stage 1 whipple is for 15-17 as I am having a difficult time finding anything for my 2020. Good ole CA issues.

It looks like Roush and Edelbrock are the only CARB compliant Supercharger kits for 18+. The one benefit I have is, due to my vehicle being a 2020, I don't need to get it smogged until 2028. So if I go with something like a pro charger, I can get it back to OEM without too much difficulty... I just want usable/reliable power that I can daily drive and not worry about being stuck on the side of the road.

Procharger has an 18+carb certified as well. Believe Whipple had 18+ too.
