2014 GT500 blower swap From 4.5 whipple to 2.6 TVS, Will it make less power?

[@midnight347]

I love the fact you're making this gt500 more street car friendly. It's good that people see this and understand that when you're talking about a street car every last hp and every last tenth isn't always what makes the decisions. You can have a very nice driving and fun street car that can still get down at the track by going with a setup like what you're going with. Everyone wants a huge Whipple and an auto and all the hp till they find out the car drives like shit and isn't fun anymore outside of the drag strip. I think keeping the manual and going tvs is absolutely ideal for a street car and judging by your actions with this car you agree. Good job.

Gotta say I agree. One of multiple reasons I went with an 07 gt500. I have a gen3r on mine I can't say enough good things about the tvs. For a street car tvs all day every day and they can go quick at the track too.

[@jesusravelo3746]

Great video! Very much appreciate the technical videos and illustrating the bumps in the road you encounter along the way and not just showing the clean finished product after install. It’s important to show that all this is not just “plug n play” as many will portray it to be. Please don’t stop doing what you do. Much continued success sir!

Re: throttle bodies. I’m not sure about the newest vmp throttle bodies but if I’m not mistaken everyone else was using the stock ford actuators to operate their big ass throttle bodies and they all had issues like this where the actuator wasn’t strong enough to hold the tb open. There are a couple people who lost motors because the Tb did some sort of reset calibration at WOT. Honestly the primary benefit of turbos and centrifugal superchargers imho is compressing the air before it gets to the throttle body so you can use a stock throttle body

[@daxmar2]

you made my TVS car fast as hell so good you finally join the club

[@jreydelacruz]

Hey Alex, I remember Demonology had a similar issue. Turned out to be the electronic throttlebody couldn't handle the pressure so he had to go old school drive by cable. Hope this helps.

You need a shorter bolt because it is clearanced to fit under the tvs. That's why vmp sold it with a tool and a shorter bolt. Good luck.

Love the content

[@tadda6282]

Twin screws are more efficient than roots style blowers so I dont see you making more power or even equal power by swapping. Also the reason the TVS is easier to rotate by hand VS the Whipple is due to the fact a twin screw actually compresses air inside itself so there is more resistance to rotation as you compress the air while rotating it.

[@wick6315]

Which company do you not like again at the end? Kenny bell or JLT lol

[@killfoot961]

What is the 4.5 Whipple's rpm limit? I'm guessing it's not even close, maybe a smaller blower closer to the limit and great cooling could be better. My .02c, correct me if I'm wrong.

[@SanicGottaGoFast]

Definitely curious to how the 60' is gonna change or change at all switching to something so much smaller but can whip up fast.

[@timkline9985]

Do you think the same or similar logic applies to the 2300 vs. 2650 Alex? As far as the “instant” throw into the back of the seat? … Looking forward to seeing the IAT numbers and the delta between these two blowers! I think the 2650 will surprise the party.

[@Joebauers2505]

With the efficiency that's TV's brings I think you'll be able to make similar power with maybe 30-35 less degree iat.

[@midnight347]

And the torque will be way higher and it'll be alot more fun to drive in the lower rpm range. They are just badass blowers.

[@midnight347]

If your car is a street car first and foremost go with the gen3r and don't look back. They can still make ALOT of power but they feel 100x better on the street and more fun to drive in normal street driven rpm ranges.
