Boost for 2020 PP2 - CA 91 octane

[HoustonGT]

I am ready to go with boost again. Had a 2015 GT Prem 6r80 with a whipple gen 2 stage 2 in TX with 93 octane. Loved every minute of the whipple. Switched it up this time and went with a 2020 MT82 PP2 and will be in CA. Haven't driven a manual boosted car, so looking for some input on what supercharger to go with this time. Curious as to how how much a manual with the PP2 gearing will factor into SC selection?

1- PD or cetnri for a manual with the PP2 gearing?
2- Limited to a 50 state smog legal setup. Luckily it looks like i have good options.
3- 91 octance unfortunatley will be what i use most. Not much e85 available in the area I live in.
4- Looking for 600 - 675 RWHP. Not gonna see a drag strip, went with a manual this time for fun factor so not worried about maximum straight line speed. Want some additional HP, power in 1st and 2nd gear with the PP2 gearing is weak to say the least...
5- Plan to run PS 4S 305's tires.

What do you all think? Appreciate any thoughts you all have.

I like the torque available with the Edelbrock 2650, It matches the long gears of the 18+ mt82 well. You have to remove or increase the nitrous pill size in the bypass hose or else it feels like you wasted a lot of money . The drivability isn't great with the Edelbrock tune and it can get frustrating sometimes. If I were to do it again I'd go with an aftermarket tune from the start, or the Roush if you need a warranty.

With a manual you’re going to definitely want the PD. If it was a 10r80 a centrifugal would work good. I would probably go whipple. As for the 50 state legal what county in California because I’m in California and don’t have smog inspection. You just need to register the car in the right county

I don't the Lund or PBD tunes are CARB legal...

Contra Costa County. They most definately do CARB certifications...

True, I got a little off track there.

These can barely hook NA power levels you'll definitely need more boosted with the MT. For a dd Nitto 555rii can hook power and handle daily duties even rain.

Easy. Register your car in lake county just north of Napa. They only do smog when you first register it. No smog again unless you sell it and they want to register it. I’m registered in the same county.
I have a carb legal procharger kit that has been modified. I just save any parts that I need in case I ever need to smog it. Like the tune, cats, factory intake. I think that is all you need.
If you leave the cats on than you could easily swap intake and tunes when you need to or like I said register it in lake county

Nice!!! Wish there was more E85 in my area....

I get you on the tires not hooking...i like that sweet spot between OEM isn't enough HP/torque and oh S&%t I might crash. On my 2015, I bought every part available to get traction, ran mickey thompson drag radials and could never get close to hooking on the street with 3.15 gearing. With this car, I wanna keep the magna ride goodness and have available power when I want it. Not looking to hook from a dig, but want to me able to have more HP than stock available...

Contra costa? There’s e85 there or very close. I just run a flex fuel tune on my p1x car so I never have to worry about it

Throw a Whipple Stage 2 Kit on it with their CARB legal tune and smile everytime you drive it.
