VMP 2R or WHIPPLE GEN 4

I know a lot between the two and VMP is being the ultimate street blower and I don't plan to build my engine.

But I also read the newer whipples fixed a lot of the low end torque issues but not sure if that is true? I also like the looks of the whipple better.

Christmas gift to myself will order tonight any thoughts on which to go with? Gen 5 whipple would be nice but too $$

I am buying the VMP Gen II-R Monday. Its 20% off thru Monday.

Whipple ordered, I think I had already made my mind up.

They are pretty and let's be honest, going with something over stock is going to be really nice either way. The 'ol seat-o-the-pants meter is going to be nice, for sure.

. Thought this was in the Coyote section. My bad.

Gen 4 whipple is the way to go.

Trust me, the bottom end torque issue is gone.

Welcome to Whipple.

Right, I remember our conversation on this. Any recommendations on the best TB for this gen 4? I currently have the ford racing 65mm if it will get me by for awhile without holding up tons of potential I will run it for awhile.

Just scared of the mono blades a little I remember even reading where you told a guy "have you drove one" referring to the frpp one.

thanks

The one on my 11 performed so well, it was a no-brainer for the 14..

Does FRPP still make their monoblade? I have heard they stopped production and that some of the used units are counterfeit.

I will be transferring my twin 65mm TB from my Whipple Gen 2 to my Gen 4. Since you already have a twin 65mm TB, I would start there and use upper pulley options to fine tune desired power level. You won’t be disappointed.

No. VMP has a replacement but I have not heard any results for performance and driveability.

Edit: Didn't come here to debate. Carry On

Don't know if anyone picked this up in the description, but....

This throttle body is meant for Race purposes and is best suited for built engines with aftermarket camshafts.

I did notice that also. The product description on the web-site is jacked... appears they copied and pasted info from the VMP 160 & 173mm mono-blade product descriptions. I had seen VMP YouTube videos during the development of the 137mm mono, and I thought it was being sold on their web-site recently... can't locate it now on VMP's site. Maybe they abandoned it??? This option was supposed to be street friendly.

There are a couple of " brand new " listed on Ebay.
............I don't think they're made any more..

With all the counterfeit one's out there, I wouldn't trust the one's on eBay at all.

I went VMP Gen II-R today. I am super excited to get everything on the car this winter. I have new 56lb/hr injectors from Ford, a Kenne Bell BAP and an AEM wideband to put on with it. Have already paid for the tuning from BJ. It should be a big difference over what I am running right now. The big issue will be traction(it already is).

any exhaust mods? Fuel?
You'll be happy if your currently sporting the stocker
traction is not bad if your @ around the 660rwtq....R888s

I have long tubes with high flow cats and MBRP race series exhaust. The fuel mods will be the 56'ers and the Kenne Bell BAP, otherwise fuel system is stock. I am running Nitto 555's and grip is not nearly as good as I had hoped they'd be.
