Power lower isnt typically ideal on the street. It will make it more difficult to play around. Sure pedal modulation helps but all that spinning kills tires faster. Pd hit lower then that. Centri typically from what ive seen have around 100-120 less wtq at the same rpms as pd until around 4500-5000rpms. Dont misunderstand both will need some pedal modulation but the pd will always require a nice bit more and are more prone to going through tires quicker like i mentioned previously . PD torque down lower is also harder on the drivetrain and engine if thats something that concerns you. Some food for thought.

Hmmm...yeah but us wimps can apparently dial back the power with Whipple's tune(r) according to Dustin.

Now what I need is some sound clips of a Whipple on the street - idle and "tame" driving.

I have been driving my car even on 15 degree days without any problems spinning the tires, unless I want too lol.

Whos calling you a wimp? Theres no shame in wanting less.

Well yeah. Thats what i meant itll shread tires very easily and traction when stepping in it is more limited for Pd typically. Dont misunderstand i love the whipple package. Its very obvious why ford racing packages are Whipple and not Roush in my opinion.

Pete, if you can stomach social media, look at some of these guys instagram accounts that are posted in their sigs. Lots of short clips, just about anything ya want.

Alot of the YouTube vid is dyno or 1/4 passes, IG is alot of just playing around and driving. Might even steal a song or two like I did from [MENTION=12245]DiEzel[/MENTION]

I'll take a video of just normal driving with my Whipple. Give me a few days though, I'm still working on an updated tune from Lund.

I think you have it wrong and your assumption is misleading. PD superchargers are ideal for street cars where torque and power from 2-4K rpm is always on tap. You won't be blowing your tires off and losing traction or wearing tires unless you want to. User input via throttle is very easy to control its not like your spinning you tires everywhere just becuase a PD BLOWER is capable of doing it. I also don't believe you can't say a PD blower is harder on the engine in general either. But yes you never want to load your motor at 2k rpm by going WOT, in say 4th gear, becuase that's a recipe for spark knock and can be hard on the motor.

Ive owned two pd cars and race in the nmra. My experience is spot on and not assumption. I never said it wasn't controllable or suggested that at normal driving it spins everywhere. Find where i specifically said that. It isnt ideal for wot traction on the street. Period. Lots of people drag race their pd cars, what its hardest on is the crank and drivetrain. Pretty sure that isnt debatable. Pd blowers are very nice but have their cons. Centri is easier on the drivetrain an the engine because of the lower load on the engine at low rpms. Its more like a turbo. Centri and turbos have pros and cons as well. People have to find what pros and cons they can live with for their goals.

That's why we have amazing companies like Whipple with calibration features to help with this.

I respect your mustang experience and I'm sure you know your way around a Mustang and racing, but your opening statement first sentence leads people to believe PD blowers are not "ideal on the street" and that statement is debatable. The new calibrations with Whipple have torque management built in and makes it much easier to modulate the power. Yes if you smash the throttle...well smoke show for sure, but not something to be concerned about. :cheers:

I appreciate the respect. For a typical race on the street by the time PD cars typically find traction a turbo set up or centri is pretty far gone. If Whipple has something to combat that like what lund has been working on thats great. However its inherent design is still hard on the crank. Also what you find not something to worry about might be another mans concern. Its all about what people can live with. :cheers:

If you don't mind me asking, how much was the installation?

I was hoping this Edelbrock SC would come in around the price of some of the Procharger kits,$5500-$6500, so I would also be able to do some cosmetic mods and come in at $10k.

Being that I'm wanting something that comes on the power better at mid rpm's I'm assuming that I would be better off staying away from a centri type SC?

Install at my speed shop is $1,500 flat rate. That will also include the install of new DSS axles. The price varies, depending on where u go. I chose the best Mustang dude in Pennsylvania (based on over 50 recommendations, and I know that is subjective to oopinion). I had another dude that would do it for a little less.. but I want to go with what I hear is truly highest quality. He is also an authorized Whipple dealer, so I can have the Whipple warranty stay valid I won't get into the warranty debate, because to each their own on that. That is a personal decision for each individual. If I lived a little closer to Beefcake I would go there for suuuure. Top notch people, and it's only $1,000 with them. But once you add in the 5.5 hour drive, plus staying in a hotel.. I end up at about the same $1,500.

I saw this Edelbrock in person yesterday at the World Of Wheels car show. This unit is very nice in person. Very clean, low profile set up. I really really liked it. They had one there on a 2015 Mustang and one on a 2015 Camaro. The fitment looked like it came on the car from the factory. If it performs nearly as good as it looks, it will be an impressive system.

 

[draco24433]

Really looking forward to seeing what numbers this system puts out.

I've only driven one FI car and it was a 2013 callaway vette...tvs2300. I was already looking at FI and that sealed the deal. Most fun I've ever had in a car. This being the same blower, wouldn't I have a similarly fun experience in the heavier mustang?
