i don't think so, from what i've read/seen the vmp blowers on a street tune with a little more boost make similar hp numbers, and a little more torque..
My 2.3 whipple makes 598/573 (that with cats, and stock manifolds, stock tb, and inlet), so i really don't think it would benefit me at all to go through swapping the blower, retuning, for marginally more torque. Seems like a lateral move for 2.3 whipple owners, or 2.2/4kb owners?
Maybe i'm missing something, but making the same power with less boost on a ts seems to make sense to me..
I know there is prob a thread out there on this topic but here it goes. I currently have a whipple 2.3 making 608hp on 93 @ 17pds. Would i pick up more with the vmp 2.3.
Important Q
No point in going to a very similar blower. Step up to a 2.9L Whipple and be done with it.
I agree that it is a lateral move at best if you already have a 2.3 Whipple, but if going from an Eaton, it is a great option!
plus there's no provision for an egr set-up for people that have emission inspection states
