Just want to know what to expect with this blower. My tuner told me I should be around 600rwhp? I had a Garfield grin on my face when he told me that. I was really gonna go with the paxton because of the ease of drivability in the low end. He told me to just get a set of good drag radials and I should be fine.My buddy has a paxton kit on his and I love the way his car drives but wanted to be different. How would I stack up against my competitors C7s mildly modded 392s and bolt on camaro s etc.?
VMP TVS 2.3 blower going on in a couple weeks. what to expect?

I'm sure you'll love it! What pulley? I'd recommend an 82mm & a CAI... Have your Brembo wheels widened to 10.5" & run the Mickey Thompson 305/35/19" DR...
Congrats man. They are allot of fun.
Somewhere around 600whp with a stick... What do you have for exhaust? Stock cats & headers?
Stock cats and headers for now.
You will love it. Power everywhere and yes pretty much any tires will spin unless you have drag radials.

My install link. I can tell you it is night and day from a factory ROUSH stage 3 no comparison. You will love the whine.
From what I have heard the factory exhaust is fine. Unless you want the sound. I personally like it not too loud keeps the sleeper image. Are you going to run E85? Is it a daily driver?
I never had a car with this much power and it is a daily driver so I did the stage 2 kit with CF CAI, cold plugs and 82 mm. If you want more boost you need to run E85 and/or go forged in your engine. You probably will have to order a larger coupler for the CAI you need a 5" x 3". Other poeple had the same problem. It is in the pictures in my link. Also 3.73,s might be too high they usually recommend 3.31's. But I have an auto so I am sure people with a manual will chime in.

You have me really excited now..lol.. Its going to be a weekend street warrior. That much difference huh?? Wow!!! Yes im going to switch to a 3.31 gear eventually. What size drag radial should I go to? I wanna wanting the Toyo 315s maybe too big you think?
I honestly have never been to the strip. cb900f has he would know better.

Here is a link from him at the track.You will love the SC. To me it is crazy. Restraint has to be used when daily driving. I am sure there are faster cars out there but it is so fun. You will not get the smile off your face that is for sure.
600-625 rwhp on our calibration, 93, sea level. 82mm=10psi.

really? on an otherwise stock car with stock exhaust system you see that much power with the 82mm on 93oct?
would the 47# injectors handle the 82mm with jlt intake?
im going to go give VMP a visit on monday if that is the case!
from what I hear VMP is backordered on blowers atm.
Wow thats great news to know I would be making that much power. My speed shop is ordering today. How long does it take to ship to Atlanta ga. 30331?
Man that sucks that they are on back order.. Guess I will have to wait a while..
It is worth the wait!!
I HAVE THE VMP STAGE 3 TVS WITH 79mm pulley and on the canned vmp tune only pulled 556 in the auto, GET A DYNO TUNE, WITH THAT i went to 625 ,changed to 75mm and went to 652. i would also NOT get the 72s ! get the id 1000s(same price)
I recommend changing the rear and a good set of drag radials. First gear is basically over 7k before you realize it's time to shift

Ok change of plans with the TVS. My speed shop found a better deal on the whipple 2.9. I think he is more excited about doing the install than I am. Since V MPs. Blowers are on backorder until December he can get the Whipple 2.9 here in about 2 weeks. Im getting the boost a pump and ID1000s also. I was pretty dead set on VMP because I've haven't heard any complaints plus I liked the idea u get the bigger heat exchanger. Do you think I will be happy with the whipple as well? What is the difference between the two other than VMPs better cooling? Will I still make the same power?
I would not go with a Whipple unless your looking to build a low to mid 9 sec race car. The Whipple is soft down low & only out shines a standard Roush above 15lbs of boost.
Lidio at Alternative Auto set up & tunes my car. He sells/installs Whipples & Roush blowers. He likes the Roush better. He runs 9's with a Roush at 3940lbs...
Go Roush or wait for the VMP gen II
