TVS 2.3 or Whipple 2.9 on E85

[Nikohm]

As title says what setup would u go ? Im going for 1 of the options and will sell my KB 2.4 with support mods.

I thought i was going for the whipple but now when many seems to have big numbers on the tws blower i just dont know :shrug:

what boost do you plan to run .. if at 20 or below i don't see any reason to go to a larger 2.9

A buddy of mine made 800rwhp on 24psi on a 2.9L Whipple with E85 and supporting mods. Non Crusher.

2.9 :banana:

The TVS is a great blower but I dont think it will compete with a 2.9 once you start to turn up the boost.

I debated over the TVS or 2.9 as well. I ended up going with the 2.9 because the room to grow is very large. I have NO regrets.

uh oh dont let the tvs guys see this. They will hang you for saying the 2.9 is better!

If they make a 3.3 tvs, then I will sell my 2.9.

the 2.9 is better than the 2.3 tvs. lol, perhaps the 2.3 tvs is better than the 2.3 whipple. but such a small disp. blower cant compete with the 2.9 lol

^ is that a butthurt reply?
it's true, or is it not because you own a TVS & can smoke anyone with it.

You start reading the newspaper rather then living under it my friend

My car had a 2.9 whipple went 11.1 upgraded to a tvs 2.3 and went 10.9's same mph less boost

Wut

The threads about "on e85". Spin that 2.9 to where it thrives and see what happens. Sounds like you were on boost/timing limited gas tunes, those times are pretty slow

there's not much potential there. ofcourse if it's a lighter unit spinning 12psi/more efficient. then the heavier 14psi design, what's your point. Your 2.3 & my 2.3 would explode throwing the #s you could at the 2.9..

for sure if you're going for bigger #s, more power. Get the 2.9.. if you want a nice "cruise blower" then get the TVS is that fair without getting into details on 11.1/10.9 time slips..?

c6 has it, the 2.9 is like a dragon compared to the bearded lizard (2.3) ofcourse the smaller one does better with low #s.
dragon is ment for big displacement.

Whipple was on 21-22 psi with 19 degrees timing pump gas/torco
TVS was on 19psi and 18 degrees timingpump gas/torco

All MPH was between 134-137.......On 17 inch worn out et steets.....and if 10.90 at 136 is slow in a 3800lb convertible with irs and no drag suspension, Then im in the wrong business

You're not in the wrong business....just using the wrong fuel. Gas/torco is a joke versus properly set up e85. You'll see the light one day :rockon:

^^^^ Whats your best times in your old school TS there Mr . John Force?

I drive my car to and from the track and dont beat the snot out of it like most....should it be faster?? sure.....should it run a 9.90 hell no.....its a 10.50-10.60 at the most.

 

[c6zhombre]

You really want to argue 93/torco is not as good as e85? Or running 11s at 135+ is probably not optimized? Lol. Forget John, I think Courtney would out drive you
