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

[MyFirst5.0]

just curious why no one seems to talk about the vmp 3 blower, after all my research it seems like its up there and comes with the bigger throttle body, big heat exchanger where the others they are more $$

Stage 2 whipple A10 on E85. Made 750whp in 6th gear on a Mustang Dyno.

They don't make a kit for the 18-19s at this time.

VMP GEN3 60-90 days?

The poll shows a tie between the EB and the Whipple. I am surprised that the EB is getting that level of support. Apparently most are going with a custom tune instead of sticking with the tunes that come with the kits. Once you go custom, I have having a hard time seeing a ton of difference between the two...other than reputation, service or installer preference. In looking through the posts, I don't see a compelling argument for the EB. What am I missing?

Just depends on if you want your pulley's in inches or millimeters lol

#1. Price
#2. EB is a TVS which arguably provides more power down low and less heat because it's more efficient.
#3. Looks? Silly yes but true.
#4. Because every one has a whipple.
#5. Better Intercooler design.

Take all of these with a grain of salt but you did ask. I'm not saying any of them is true one way or another but they are legit reasons why people go with the EB. I went with my little E-force 2300 strictly for the low price. In my opinion both seam to be great kits and the biggest difference is TVS vs TS which is a arguement in itself. Personally, I'm just happy to be blown!

Pretty much all these. Technically the edelbrock has the faster car and PD blower record. However both setups are into the 8s so it doesn't really matter. Either blower will support whatever you need.

I also trust the Eaton TVS Edelbrock design/build to be more reliable as an OEM compared to the Whipple, long term. Since both blowers were so close, I went with the Edelbrock and custom tune.

Plus EB Stage 2 give u 8 rib standard and the larger HE too

Whipplr charges u extra for 10 rib and OS HE

 

[brucelinc]

Just looking at retail prices, it appears that the Whipple is less expensive than the EB even if you get the $400 HE upgrade on the Whipple. The Whipple tune provides excellent drivability so you don't need to spend extra for a custom tune if you choose not to.

Well your forgetting the whipple has a 6 rib but the eb has an 8-rib

To me I would want the 8-rib, if u add the 10-rib to the whipple it’s 10,300

Eb Stage 2 is 8995

But I would agree, it seems the whipple canned tunes seem to be better so in the end there very close when u factor in tuning

 

[brucelinc]

Unless one goes crazy with a smaller pulley, I think the 6 rib is adequate. Some guys have gone to a grippier belt but I haven't heard of any significant belt issues.

I am not necessarily advocating or criticizing either kit. In my area, Whipple is more popular with the Mustang guys and the installers. Part of that may just be more familiarity with them. I am sure both are good choices.

That’s true, there are the griptek pulleys available, But i have see a few post about guys seeing 6 ribs eating belts a bit quicker and more belt dust?

Pick your poison, but u do make a good point. Looks like Whipples canned tunes are better as of now

One of the guys on here is running a 2.75 on a 6rib whipple and is on the verge of 8's lol

How many miles a Yr does he drive the car? Probably not many going 8’s?

My point is the 8 rib for a STREET car isn’t a bad idea, if you guys break a belt u just put it back in the trailer or fix it before your next pass.

If I break one, I’m stuck on the side of the road, food for thought

But I agree with u, u prolly don’t need 8 rib at 10-11psi
