Hi sir, my name is Ali I am having one question that I read 2.3 liter whipple supercharger four liter whipple supercharger. What does it mean does it mean that it combust 2.3 and four liter capacity of gas in its one revolution or it is something else? And if installed on 5.0 liter v8 then the total capacity of engine will be 5+2.3 liters will 7.3 liter of gas. Waiting for reply. Thanks indeed. What does this 2.3 and 4 liter supercharger stand for?

Whipple is a company that makes screw type superchargers. They are basically an air pump that draws in air and pushes it into the engines intake manifold. As it does this it compresses the air in the intake. This gives you higher performance due to more air being packed into a cylinder when the intake valve opens.
The capacity is nothing more than how much air the units can move. It does not add that to the engine. A 5.0 is still a 5.0.
