Help me choose a supercharger

[FleeMan]

Yeah, I don’t need the high crap at my age.

Blasphemy

Thank you for all the input. I’ll be putting an order in on a Whipple 2.3, 3.0 pulley, some injectors, MAF, etc.

Can I ask why you ended up with the Whipple over VMP? I’m close to pulling the trigger myself. Thanks

I don’t like the modification needed to the coolant crossover to fit the VMP. The 2.3 seems to be the perfect size for the power I want. I was close to the VMP but the whipple is what I want.

Got ya. I’m gonna research the coolant crossover modification needed. See if it outweighs the benefit of a removable inlet of the VMP. Have fun with that new blower!

Will do! Let us know what you decide! I’m putting my order in this week.

It’s literally dinging it with a hammer for clearance.

Oh no shit? Well I’ve done far worse on this car, so pretty much count me in for the VMP.

I know, I know…this has been asked before….

Looking to be in the 650wh range. Street car. I don’t plan to go return style for a while. E85 is possible but 93 is more realistic at least at first.

Knowing how long these blowers have been on the market I figured it would be easy to see what folks prefer now versus 10 year old+ threads.

If anyone is selling any of these, let me know.

I'm trying to figure out a price. Was going to toss it on Ebay.

Unused 2.3L Polished Whipple For Sale - Logical Price?

I am trying to figure out what price to sell my unused 2.3L polished Whipple. It was literally "New in box" until the box broke, but that's about it. It is the 140AX model, I believe. I've seen this on Jegs for $4400 new, so what can I logically expect? I also have the supporting mods like an...

I would like to know, and I'm curious, does the 2.3 hit harder on 93 than the 2650 VMP?
Bigger isnt always better.
I know the the 2.3 Gen 1 VMP was far better for the street ON 93 than a 2.9 Whip. tvs against twin screw design too, so, anyone have real comparisons?

That was one of the turn offs for me as well. But it is an excuse to go with a crossover delete.

I thought that too but it’s money that will be spent elsewhere. Unfortunately, the money tree has taken root yet.

Just find an old 2.2 if you want the whine.

Yes! The 2.2 polished, catch can. Just look right on top of the 4v. All square.

Any more info on this? The post will not open. Shoot me a pm if you can.

I'd go 2.3 tvs, better throttle body options, better pulley options, removable inlet, whines pretty good. They're insane torque monsters.

As for the coolant cross over on the 2.65 it just requires some hammer dings. I don't like to hack up my stock stuff so I bought my buddies cross over that went turbo and clearances it.

 

[CobraSam]

For me, at least. I’ve decided to find a lightly use tvs 2.3. It’s perfect for me on 93. Hits hard with torque. For where I live it’s perfect for me, dense area so it hard to use 700hp. Already been there with some Foxbodies, wasn’t realistic.

So...I actually did purchase a supercharger, just not the one I was originally going to buy. I had my mind set on the Whipple 2.3L and almost bought it....however, knowing I will be going E85 and wanting more than 700-750+ I ended up with a brand new KB 2.8L. They are 12 weeks out. I'll start off 18-19psi and eventually go higher once I buy a fuel system (looking at Fore Innovations).

Wow three weeks for KB as well. Im not sure how accurate TPS Motorsports website is but they are advertising the 2.8 as “in stock”.

I went through TRE Percormance. They seem very helpful and communicative.

 

[cj428mach]

I'd go 2.65 before 2.8l. It will perform better, again better pulley options, better throttle body options. The removable inlet is nice but KB does offer the detachable base plate so the whole assembly comes off easy.
