because guessing the day your kb is going to lock up can be fun.

 

Stock tune, I think its a good sc, but I was expecting better results for the price and for what everyone was talking about.

 

Just proves what some of us have been saying about not needing a tune to run more boost..........

 

I think you are confused.

This is the 2.3

Not the 3.3 race blower that everyone has been hyping.

This is the direct competition for the KB. With that said, retail is supposed to be about 3200....it's that right on par with KB??

 

Great info, Think I see a Whipple in my future

 

That truck had a KB tune and race gas. You might also want to look at the pulley ratios that were used with the KB vs. Whipple. You'll notice that the KB was spun faster to achieve the same boost levels as the Whipple.

 

Wow, those things will sell great. I have to say its nice to see vendors putting this much R&D into the lightning even though its been discontinued. I guess they know where the money is at though. I really hope they have a few of them left when I get back in a year.

WOO HOO, Smooooooooking results
AND a real looker too
(not you Spanky, the Whipple)

 

And SMOKINTRUCK#1 says one is in his future with that throttlebody included. SMOKINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ! Quote ChebbyChase. heehee! hey Rob. all I can say is Holy ROD-KNOCKERS !

 

My Red-Rocket:

Originally the 2300ax unit was going to come with a 90mm round throttle body. But to keep cost down the unit will not come with a throttle body. The intake plenum is being reworked to accept the lightning throttle body. so in essence you would use a accufab or billetflow or equalivelent single blade if you so choose.

To my understanding the MM&FF KB test was done with a reflash done on the computer (basically a tune) and race fuel was used. The whipple test was done with NO changes besides the Whipple 2300AX unit as pictured. Stock PCM tune, Stock airbox etc. Please correct me if i am wrong.

The 3300AX unit development has stopped. It has been halted for 3 weeks now. Only reason being other projects being brought to the market. Including: Cobra 3.3, Lightning 2.3 and 3.3, 05' Mustang, 5.4 3V, 5.4 2V, 6.8 3V and some GM applications. So you can see they are swamped. Also the 3.3 unit has a long way to go. The adapter plate will be rediesgned so the unit does sit lower. Also JDM is making a upper plenum for the unit to help whipple out. Whipple still wants a rear entry unit and once the other project die down they will be making a rear entry plenum for the 3.3

I'm glad to read that the R&D is going well, I'm also happy to here that the new inlet will accept the oval throttle body, after dropping near 500.00 on an Accufab it would be nice to see it help out. I know I'm not the only one waiting with checkbook in hand. TA

 

So, there will not be an option to purchase the setup in the picture, with the round throttle body for those that are willing to pay?

 

Just because they ran it...(maybe even just one time) on their dyno doesnt mean it doesnt need a tune. At 20lbs of boost on a stock engine...the fuel is maxed, the maf is maxed. I don't know how high they reved it but Im sure it was it was lean after 5000 rpms.

That much boost does need a tune. The stock eec cannot correct to the degree (%) that is needed. Anyone who runs a KB or Whipple with 20lbs of boost and no tune is crazy.

I need this broke down into simpler terms.

The big difference here is that the KB and Whipple are screw compressor's that can make more boost with less heat at lower RPM. Correct?

Is that because in addition to the above mentioned difference the compressor has more volume?

Thanks. Sorry I am so slow and drive a stock L

 

so once these are readily available on the market and have proven themself in real world uses,

WHAT ARE THE ODDS WE CAN GET A GROUP PURCHASE?
