So this is how my setup (minus some nice mods) would do in a RCSB...Man, why must I have a family?!

Mike, I may consider the 102mm TB in the near future, what changes did you need to make in your tune (I use HP Tuners) to get it to work? Was it fairly simple? I might consider this after my Alky kit and 3.125" pulley.

 

The tune changes for this are extremely simple for the 102mm tb, pm me when you get there if you decide to do it.

 

We haven't wired anything for this yet, there was simply a swich mounted and we have intentions to do something, but have not had time to do this yet.

It pulsed the brakes when I didn't pull any ABS fuses, I felt the truck spin real bad and then it just stopped, and I can see MPH in the log going up and then just slam down real quick and then accelerate. When I pulled the 3 ABS fuses, it didn't do that, but when I mashed the gas pedal, throttle did not go to 100% for about a half second, it was delayed, weirdest feeling, I thought something was wrong at first but the log proved it to be the throttle, and I tried it again and it did the exact same thing with the fuses pulled.

 

Ok gotcha. I saw the switches mounted, thought you had them wired.

Odd about pulling the fuses. Don't think I have experienced that at all through any of the mods I have done from NA to now.


You have pulled the fuses before with bigger pulleys and smaller TB right?? Or was this the first time trying it with out the fuses?

 

Keep us posted

 

No worries about being late in the thread at all! A few reasons for me going with the Whipple;

The most important one is temperature, the Whipple Supercharger has the lowest running IAT temp, and the slowest IAT increase when going WOT, when vs. either TVS (1900 or 2300) it isn't even remotely close in comparison. This clearly will be able to produce more power globally from this function alone. I am not stating this based on something I read on the internet, I tune A LOT of supercharged trucks all over the world, and it is simply what I have learned from the data I see tuning everything.

2nd, a TVS1900 pullied for 7 psi vs. a Whipple 2.3 pullied for 7 psi, the powerbands will look quite different, the TVS1900 will produce more torque and horsepower in the lower rpms, say up to about 4000-4500 rpms maybe, but then the Whipple 2.3 will produce more torque and horsepower as engine RPM increases after that, and the faster you spin each blower, the more efficient the Whipple 2.3 will get, meaning the power will ultimately be more at any rpm with the Whipple 2.3 vs. TVS1900, this will pretty much happen by the time you reach 9-10 psi depending on other mods etc. which could effect this as well. So, my conclusion from this (respectfully), if you want your truck to be faster from 0-100 mph, the Whipple is ideal no matter what, if you want more low end power, ideal for towing etc. TVS 1900 is ideal.

3rd, A Whipple 2.3 is around $1000 cheaper than a TVS 2300, just sayin.

I am not trying to stir up controversy with my comparison statements, so I would appreciate it if this doesn't turn into a this vs. that thread, I just responded to a question, thx!

 

I never pulled the fuses before, I didn't feel I needed to until I felt that the brakes were coming on.

 

Great! I'll have to give this more serious consideration....

BTW, that is a VERY good price for the Whipple truck kit on your site.

 

Well, I just did some more launch testing, with the ABS fuses all installed, and everything seems to be just fine, it just spins the tires for about 1-2 seconds and then seems to accelerate. I didn't have time to test and figure out the hick up that I get with the fuses out though.

Does anyone have proof that the ABS does apply the brakes even with traction control and stabilitrac turned off?

 

When I have stabilitrac turned off, it lights the tires up from a stalled stand still. I also have the brake torque enabled in the tune so it has max torque when stalling it up. I haven't logged it to prove but I haven't felt any abs action.
