[QUOTE="SCGallo2, post: 15991969, member: 160791"] Let me start by stating that I am a VMP supporter, and I was actually looking forward to a successful launch of their new blower. Here is my opinion on why the VMP Gen 3 2650 release has flopped so far: - Exclusive throttle body bolt pattern. I would personally NOT install an adapter to run a “smaller” throttle body. - The 160mm mono-blade throttle body designed specifically for street use on the Gen 3 2650 failsafes. One problem that has been publically acknowledged is that the throttle body blade cannot close enough to limit intake air to control idle RPM on a stock-cammed car. The PCM keeps trying to close the throttle body blade when it is already physically closed. - You need to run the 160mm or another mono-blade throttle body on the Gen 3 2650 for a significant gain over VMP’s previous 2.3L Gen 2R offering with a dual 67mm throttle body and 2.4” pulley, at least on a stock long block car running pump gas. - Most already have a potent 2.3L TVS setup, Whipple, or Kenne Bell, and it just doesn’t make financial sense to spend another $4K for a small horsepower/torque gain that the street cannot hold anyway. I do hope that they get it all sorted out soon. The blower itself seems very capable. [/QUOTE]
