edelbrock 2650 stg2 vs Whipple stg 2 on 93 which one !!!

[brucelinc]

I plan to get a supercharger kit before next spring and have chatted with a few techs who have installed different brands. Wsfrazier's 2nd point above is something I have heard repeatedly. Since I plan to use the tune that comes with the kit, I have ruled out the Edelbrock kit. I have yet to hear a negative about the Whipple kits.

The fuel rail issue is there but it is not as bad as some make out. Get the allens with the ball on the end and set aside some extra time and it won't be that big of a deal. Make sure you have an extra pair of hands to switch out with to get a break while still making progress to minimize frustration. I wouldn't let something so minor be the deciding factor in such a big purchase.

2) The Edelbrock tune is garbage. I have constant surging and bucking in the low RPM range when boost first comes on. It's so bad the car will go into limp mode (throws a tq table calc code). I am already working with PBD for a custom tune. If you get the Edelbrock, just budget and take into account a custom tune, you will want one I guarantee it.

The Whipple tune is the reason I bought it. When my '15 had the Magnuson with the 6R80, the tune was bad for daily driving. I had it tuned by a local tuner, still bad. Then PBD, still not very good. I am convinced some blowers just don't tune well for some reason. I don't know if this is the case with Edlebrock or not.

That said, I wouldn't give up on the Edlebrock. It has great internals and looks the best of the PD blowers in my opinion. I would get more opinions from Edlebrock owners that describe drivability before I decided to change. The other reason I went with Whipple is because their kit, with no other mods, has a 3 yr 36,000 warranty on the blower. Gotta spend $599 for a powertrain warranty.

And, now that I've got the blower on, I am seriously thinking OPG/Sprocket which voids the WHipple warranty anyhow.

The base tune I have from PBD is already loads better, and I haven't even flashed my first revision yet. Car drives almost factory again, so it doesn't seem like the blower is the issue. I am happier now

Warranty wasn't a concern for me. Since these warranties require a certified tech to do the install, I wouldn't qualify. Did the install myself over a weekend in a garage. I was really torn with whipple vs edelbrock 2650 myself. I went with the Edelbrock because I wanted as much low end TQ as I could get since the car is 90% a daily driver. The low end of the TVS 2650 makes the car a fun street car and still good for occasional weekend drag strip racing.

The Edelbrock is still a great kit and I don't regret it, the fuel rails were my only complaint, but given how tight the space is, I understand why it's designed like that. Was the only frustrating part of the install, the rest was easy and plug-n-play.

You should post a photo for the op to see. I think the Edelbrock is the better looking blower.

Sorry if this is huge, but here is my Stage 1 kit installed. I love the look of the Edelbrock, looks very OEM and clean.

The Edelbrock is beautiful

Yes it is, no one has made fun of my OEM hood prop since I installed the blower!

Very stout and very sharp looking setup, how much boost

Even with factory exhaust I bet it would still be over 650, man that’s impressive
