E Force Supercharger

[Speedwagon]

the only experience i have with the edelbrock blower is from a buddies s197 three valve.. If I recall correctly it ended up making 570 or so.. I don't recall the boost level.. he didn't want to pulley it up higher cause was worried of the 5r55 taking a shit.. He actually had just forged the bottom end cause he bent a rod at around the 470 mark... I do remember the blower being easy to install... from my understanding it a Eaton TVS rotor pack that has the intercooler on top.. like the saleen blower.. but the saleen blowers flaw was the smashed up inlet they have...

My experience with whipple was a 04 cobra i bought were the previous owner had it dyno'd and made 702.. two weeks later the accufab throttle body they took apart to clean and never restaked the blade screws came apart and destroyed the whipple.. When i bought the car i looked into having the whipple repaired, but both whipple and jon bond said t was too fubard.. whipple wanted 2500 for a new center section (case and rotors) and at same time VMP had just came out with their 2300 TVS that i was able to get for 2700.. So i went the VMP route... without touching the tune at all.. the tvs blower would consistently make more under the curve power than the previous dyno graphs from the whipple.. (same dyno/shop) the end overall HP was the same.. but under the curve the TVS was stronger... thats 2.3 to 2.3... they sell a 2.9 with the s550 kit... I saw at SEMA like in 2012 or so that Eaton had a 3.3 rotor pack.. i have pictures somewhere.. but then at the folloing year SEMA show it was gone.. I asked them what ever became of that.. and the guy just said they did find it feasible and where concentrating on another project.. whether thats BS or not I don't know.. but it would have been cool to see what it could have done

anyway that is my experience with them.. For my S550 I'm either going procharger or turbo.. :cheers:

That is the kind of info I was looking for in the beginning of all this thread mess.. I appreciate your input. Very constructive and right to the point. Very nice to see someone in here was willing to give some input rather than the old "my whipple is better than that E force supercharger BS" You rock!

Right... I asked for "opinions".... (Must read titles) Not... Is Whipple better than Edelbrock?? You missed the whole boat there...

:lol: Enjoy running 11s.

Hmmmm... You're so sure of that. Makes me think you are so use to it ... Haha

Hey! I remember when people used to be ecstatic about getting into the 12's! Might be dating myself there

[ame] ... 11s are where it's at!

go Kenne Bell instead. you can be unique that way since everyone and their mother on this forum has a whipple....:shrug:. its pretty damn good kit if you order from travis at boostworks.

LOL. Yep.

If it didn't have long tube headers then it would be on par with a Whipple

Why do folks assume that modifying your car should mean everything revolves around drag racing?

Valid point. Although, taking the label of "drag racing" out, aren't we all trying to add the most power possible, while also staying efficient and reliable? I believe that's where the issue comes in here. And why so many people are giving negative feedback on the E-force. But the proof is in the pudding... need to see some E-force cars running around. I have personally never drag raced my car. But I spent the money with intentions to be able to be competitive IF I did race. Like most folks on here, mine is a daily driver that see's spirited drives on back roads and occasionally red light to red light fun when the atmosphere allows for it. When I first got my Whipple I thought, noway 650HP will get boring, and I will want more. Yea, that lasted about a month and I was already wanting for more lol That would be my fear with the E-force. CAN you get much more out of it if you want to down the line? Hopefully we learn down the line here that indeed you can. We will see. The beginning HP numbers aren't my concern. My concern would be the limited ceiling it ultimately has.

^^ Well said. Potential is certainly to be considered. I went D1SC for that exact reason, higher ceiling than P1SC though it would likely make little difference at 11psi.

As far as drag racing goes, it's a power capability reference more than assumption that everyone drag races. Though, to me, part of the satisfaction in ramping a car to this kind of power level is producing a 10 second slip, something usually reserved for cars that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Having built cars that have done it, there is a lot of satisfaction that comes from that slip.
