Yes. All calibrated kits must be tested and deemed CARB compliant. This is the reason we have to keep you waiting a little longer.Will stage 2 be CARB compliant?

Cool. I'm really torn between the new Whipple, and the e-force right now, and the Whipple is winning based on hp, but I want the e-force based on the Eaton oem history. Stage 2 with an EO would be where my money goes.Yes. All calibrated kits must be tested and deemed CARB compliant. This is the reason we have to keep you waiting a little longer.
so in reference to the stage 2 availability, What about those of us who live in a non-communist state?Yes. All calibrated kits must be tested and deemed CARB compliant. This is the reason we have to keep you waiting a little longer.
I have seen the HP numbers out there...Could we make more HP with Stage 1? Yes. But we found that at higher power levels the results get inconsistent. Edelbrock delivers safe, consistent power that is backed by a FREE powertrain warranty. This same concept is applied to Stage 2.Cool.

EPA governs all... But like I said above, Stage 1 is available now and easily upgradable to Stage 2 laterso in reference to the stage 2 availability, What about those of us who live in a non-communist state?
did you guys do any dyno pulls to 8000rpm, curious to see how the top end of the system looks, the dyno you posted cuts off lower than even the stock redline.EPA governs all... But like I said above, Stage 1 is available now and easily upgradable to Stage 2 later
Great question. The power does carry well to about 7500, but peak power comes in around 7000rpm. This goes for even a stock 2018. Our supercharger makes great torque throughout the RPM range so peak power happens sooner compared to other PD style blowers. The power comes on so hard with this kit that we put a .015" restrictor in the bypass hose to physically slow down the boost ramp. This makes the daily driving experience very smooth and linear. If you want quicker responce and have the tires to put down the power, the restrictor is easily removable. When traction is an issue at the track, we noticed quicker 60ft times with the restrictor installed.did you guys do any dyno pulls to 8000rpm, curious to see how the top end of the system looks, the dyno you posted cuts off lower than even the stock redline.
Wait until you see the test results with a LUND tune.Cool. I'm really torn between the new Whipple, and the e-force right now, and the Whipple is winning based on hp, but I want the e-force based on the Eaton oem history. Stage 2 with an EO would be where my money goes.
I wish. I'm in California, so a Lund tune is a non starter.Wait until you see the test results with a LUND tune.
this is what i wana seeWait until you see the test results with a LUND tune.
That's interesting, it might be peaking at 7000 due to the pressure drop across the stock TB, with a larger TB the rotor pack should be able to carry power to 7800-8000rpm. Have you guys measured the pressure drop across the TB on your stage 1 and stage 2 kit?Great question. The power does carry well to about 7500, but peak power comes in around 7000rpm.

There is just under a 2psi drop using the stock throttle body with the pulley the kit ships with. The 103mm cuts that nearly in half. The larger throttle body also moves peak power up to about 7300-7500rpm with gains throughout the entire curve. Power also carries to 7800 without dropping. I have a follow up post coming that shows what is possible with the Stage 1 hardware and then what gains can be had with the Stage 2 components. The results are impressive for both configurations.That's interesting, it might be peaking at 7000 due to the pressure drop across the stock TB, with a larger TB the rotor pack should be able to carry power to 7800-8000rpm.
