Feedback on Edelbrock tune?

[SVT-DADDY]

Anyone use the Edelbrock canned tune? I am seriously thinking of getting their stage 1 kit with the 2650 rotors , and upgrading with a second round of mods in the future.

I am sure it’s conservative, my concern is really drivability.

My other option to find a tuner kit, but I haven’t seen one that makes sense yet.


Thanks

It's too new of a kit and not enough people have their hands on it. Seeing as how their kit is CARB approved it will prob make decent power but be extremely conservative...

^what he said. You might just have to be the Guinea pig and test things out for us. Post logs and dynos please lol.

I may have to check in with the 2011 to 2014 crowd, I know they've been running it for a while.

Maybe...just maybe.

I am sure it won't be long until we are flooded with results from the new 2650 rotors as the other TVS companies catch up. I happen to like the packaging of the Edelbrock unit, not cutting the K brace, easy install, no wiring, cutting the block, and its actually legal and warrantied.

Others don't need to be cut and its nearly $1500 more than its nearest competitor for less power, less capacity. Do the research.

I'd rather have a vortech or whipple if I needed a carb approved blower.

Research is exactly what I am doing. Can't comment on the power capacity because I haven't see any numbers on the 2650's, but how are you coming up with $1500 more on the stage 1 kit?

Stage 2, which only has a 95mm maf and 50lb injectors is $9679. Stage 1 has very little power, uses stock airbox and stock tb....

Researching myself. Stage 1 535hp with stock airbox, and can tune, $7083.00, 600+hp with custom tune based on research so far. Love the factory look. Not everyone wants huge mt82 grenading numbers. Fit n finish is 100% top shelf. If drivability is good with can tune to start with, whats the beef?

If you're worried about your trans a hard hitting down low PD blower is your worst option. Buy a Centri, like the smaller procharger p1x

Nobody is happy with 535hp and why do you think someone offers a package that fails the mt82? That's very, very inaccurate. Only us and Roush have done durability testing. Having the proper cal is key to success. You really need to look into this more. For $200 more you can have 750hp with far more capacity. That pricing is also for the 2.3, not 2.65.

Let me rephrase. I'm not worried about grenading a MT82. I have the perspective of having an eye to maintaining reliability of the car (within reason). Based on what I've seen so far, many of the mt82 failures seem to be operator error when there is twice the power coming into that input shaft. Hopefully, I'm a little older and wiser there.

I decided I don't want a centrifugal style because of power output characteristics. I am currently getting more involved in autocross, but this is about having a seriously sneaky street car and instant torque is what taps the fun meter there.

I don't want 750+ rear wheel hp, because I don't want to deal with real life things that go with that. I do want more than 535hp, but the can tune maintains the manufacturer drive-train warranty (if installed by ASE). I will be installing myself so that isn't a factor. Of course that"s going to be a conservative tune. For my car, I'm looking for 600-650 rear wheel. Custom tune on the eforce netted 605hp/500tq I believe. I'm also aware that I've referencing the 2300.

I'm not knocking anyone's anything because when you shell out $6-8k, what they purchased is going to be the best on the market in their mind. However, the Edelbrock packaging and design got my attention. Whipple is on my very very short list too because it seems rather proven.

Apologize if I caused the thread to move off topic. The question, is anyone running the can tune? If so, hows the drivability.

Most if not all the MT82 failures I have read about involved a ceramic disc clutch.

There is no aftermarket supercharger that maintains a factory warranty. None, zero. Any power train warranty from any company is supplemental.

For tuning, the few that have been reviewed by Brenspeed and online here have been less than desired. Therefore like many you will be begging for more, as do 95% of the market. All that think they will be happy with low 500rw almost always go for more which then voids the supplemental warranty. More than likely you will deal with multiple tune revisions to iron out surging and some other quirks as others have.

I am not a big fan of their stage 2 kit. I'd rather get a BAP, smaller pulley,bigger injectors, and see if I can adapt my current CAI with a custom tune.

That's a nice little 2k project for me to do after I get the blower on and make sure it's working correctly.

I am sure the 2650 will be able to keep me happy horsepower wise.

Exactly! My car is a premium convertible so it's heavy and I rarely rev it
past 5k to be honest. TQ is what I am looking for, and I've always coveted the TQ curves of the TVS blowers.

Honestly tho they looked a little dorky and the install was a little too involved for my taste.

For me it's always really been between Whipple and VMP, with Whipple having an edge.

The Edelbrock 2650 kit kinda evens it up for me. However I don't like the stage 2 kit much, and I don't see any good tuner options yet.
