looking for a performance shop SJ/LG/Campbell

Hi.

I am looking for a reputable performance shop in the San Jose/Los Gatos/Campbell area to install and tune a supercharger in my 2017 S550 GT PP.

I am leaning toward the Edelbrock E-Force Stage II Supercharger and my preferred installer (the same one recommended by Edelbrock) is in the process of relocating.

Looking for options....

We'll be glad to help, we combined with Borelli Motorsport and have done a ton of SC's on the S550s. We also have an in-house tuner if a custom tune is desired. Let us know if we can assist.

Andrew: I also have a ‘17 Mustang GT 6 Speed. I have the stock base Vortech blower with the Vortech tune. I am looking to do a few upgrades and need a custom dyno tune. Do you have an in-house dyno?

I have heard some fantastic things about AED!!

I get my car back tomorrow. I had the Whipple StageII Gen3 supercharger installed and a Thermal R&D cat-back exhaust. We put the Whipple tune in for now. The plan is after the first of the year head to AED for a dyno run and discuss custom tuning, if necessary.

What swayed you to the Whipple over the E-Force?

A couple of things... looking around the forums, the Edelbrok E-Force seems popular with the Camaro SS crowd where as Whipple seemed more popular with the Mustang crowd. Not just from info off forums, but also talking with installers from SoCal to Sac.

The gears on the Whipple are 2.9 which are larger than the E-Force so as such, the actual supercharger from Whipple has to work less hard for the same (and more) horsepower. Because the SC is working less hard, less heat is generated. I know 2 people with E-Force that say on hot days, the inlet temp get so hot the Edelbrock tune has to take timing/power out.

Price... the Whipple Stage II Gen3 kit was roughly close to the Edelbrock E-Force Stage I price.

The nail in the coffin, I wanted more power than my buddies with E-Force on his Camaro SS another with a CTS-V but CARB compliance is important. The Whipple Stage II is CARB compliant, as far as I know, the E-Force Stage II is not!!

What was the biggest PRO for the Edelbrock? WARRANTY!! They basically take over the Ford 3y/36m warranty. For Whipple, you have to buy the warranty and it has a value cap! I chose no warranty.

I have no regrets and super happy I went with the Whipple. It is a total sleeper, nearly no SC whine.

Oh and one last thing, the Whipple Flight Control allows you to adjust (remove) power across the board or per gear. My E-Force friends could not even tell me if they had that feature.....

motodad,
wondering what you paid for the install of your whipple, also what was the time frame...

Same question as above. Also curious about your experience with the purchase and turn around time of install. Thanks!
