On a stock bottom end of a 6.2 how much boost can handle

 

Having allot of experience with both I find this question very hard to answer. Magnuson has been around a long time, so has Whipple, the TVS makes great power, so does the Whipple, Magnuson offers Good customer support, Whipple has really stepped up in this area.

On a stock engine you are splitting hairs between the two in total power yield. My suggestion would be to do your research and make your decision based on that research.

I have a TVS1900 on my truck, it was almost traded for a Procharger but time and life circumstances did not allow the change. If I had your truck and the decision was mine to make I would install the Whipple....... Just my .02.

 

My choice in going with Whipple was that I wanted to try something different and the power potential was promising. The 2.3L Whipple kit is about the same price as the 1.9L TVS kit and I feel that the Whipple is capable of making more power than the 1900. I'm sure that the power potential differences are much smaller or the same when comparing the 2300 TVS and the 2.3 Whipple. The main problem with the Whipple is that there are not as many GM guys running them and thus there is much less support out there, when compared to the TVS kits. Before I installed my kit, I had very little experience with tuning. I basically learned how to do some limited tuning with this truck. However, with just some simple MAF transfer calibrations and main spark adjustments, I was able to coax high 105mph trap speeds on my heavy arsed Denali AWD truck. That was only with the Whipple kit installed (making 9# of boost) and my own tuning. I don't have exact weights but I'm probably close to 6000 LBS with me in it and Dragtimes estimates that my engine is making somewhere near 550whp.

 

I really like the Whipple. I just don't like the idea of having to have a pulley custom-machined or sit on my plans while the company hems and haws if I want to up the boost from the base kit.

 

I went with the whipple

 

How did you come to this conclusion?

 

Congratulations on your new purchase.

When you get it and especially after you get it installed and tuned, give us your honest opinions on it. I'm sure it will work great, but feedback positive or negative may go a long ways towards helping some in their decession making ability.

 

I decided with the whipple because at low boost it will be equal to tvs and if I did get in to the higher boost the twin screw will produce more and if anything else just to be a little different from the next guy

 

I'll give a review but this will be my first sc so don't really have anything to compare with

 

I wonder what size pulley your new kit is shipping with? On a side note, while not yet being able to get a 3.125” pulley through Whipple, at least we were able to get a 3.375” from them this last week, which my boss should have installed by now to get the boost back to at least a respectable level from the 3.625” his unit came with.
