Thx KLRSTNG good post ill definitely look into the S/C you mentioned

Correct me if im wrong but the Saleen is around the same price as most other options and you can bolt it on and run it with no tune and be fine until u decide u want to go with more boost. The reason I say this is because a guy that i know has a saleen supercharger and he installed it and the car has no tuner or anything. The saleen boost gauge never goes past 2 lbs of boost and it runs great. If this is correct then that means when u are ready to go with 5 lbs or whatever amount of boost that the supercharger will put out then you can buy a smaller pulley and get a tune and u can make the desired horsepower.

Slow your roll player! I have a nice big hole in my hood liner from my first belt

Is anyone running the E-force on an otherwise stock S197?

If so how does it run as a DD?

Ive been hearing such great this about the E-force yet no one has really mentioned it on this thread. It looks like a solid an reliable package, and one that should prevent damage to non FI applications.

I assume you mean a stock engine when you say non FI application...they are all non FI applications until you slap a blower on them.

Boost is a good thing and yes you want to make as much power with as little as possible. This will allow for greater gains in the future if you decide to wick up the boost. You have to be able to see through the marketing hype. Manufacturers are hoping to win your business with claims of low boost and high returns. No not all blowers are the same but the leaders amongst their respective styles (twin screw, centri and roots) are all very competitive and offer solid products. Like some of the other members already said, its the post sale customer support that really makes a difference.

You can hardly put a CAI on these cars without needing a tune let alone a blower! Its been retuned or it would not run.

As far as Kenne Bell base 2.6 twin screw 5 psi vs edelbrock E force twin screw 5 psi what would you guys recommend as far as safe to not screw up my car as it is without any other mods. Safety to not destroy car is priority then power secondary....Or if you guys reccomend something else all together let me know....I am basing these 2 superchargers off the sticky in the forum and these are the 2 that are in the range as far as price and HP to not destroy my car. Thx for input in advance

Unless you plan on going for big power in the future and building the motor stay away from the KB. At the 450hp range the power is soft down low. It’s a big blower that is being run very slow. I have one.

I’m not a fan of any blower that has not been on the market for a long time. So that excludes the Edlebrock. I could care how good it is supposed to be. If you don’t know how it will hold up two years down the road that’s a big “if”

For you application I think the Whipple H.O is the only way to go. That is one very nice blower. Easy to install without a bunch of moving stuff around and they sound fantastic but not overpowering.

I have had mine since Feb of 2009, my car is a DD and I have not had any issues with it. I love the fact that you cant hardly hear the blower, and I still get 23-25 MPG in town, 28-30 on the open road.

Nobody seemed to mention that Edelbrock offers an optional warranty for $300 that will replace your motor up to $5K if it grenades. I dont think any other company offers this type of warranty? For me its the KB or Edelbrock when budget/wife give the nod.

Uh...yah...thats the one!
I think i will entrust in Edelbrock the wisdom that comes with age and a flawless reputation, even if it is a new product..plus if it does go boom that 5k warranty should help a little.

I'll definately get an E-force once i can find someone who is willing to buy one of my kidneys.....Anyone?

After reading these posts I feel I need to opine....

1) Generally speaking, the stock engine is good for 450-500 HP over the long haul. Since you are talking about the lower boost kits, you can get pretty much ANY blower kit you want safely without any other mods- so go with what you like. If you are not installing it yourself, go with what your installer likes.

2) Ford Racing sells the non-intercooled Whipple kit through dealerships. If you have it installed at a dealership, your factory warranty is supposed to stay in effect.

3) I also noticed a little mark under my hood (but I don't have the hood liner in there any more) from my first belt. The ony issue I see with Whipple is the 6 rib belt. This is supposedly not a problem with the non-intercooled kit - it's only a problem at higher boost levels.

4) If you want to buy a Whipple but save money, you kind of have it backwards. Don't buy the 10lb kit but change the pulley and not install intercooler... Just have a dealer install the small kit and keep your warranty. If you want to upgrade later, there is a kit to upgrade it that you can do whenever you like.

5) Whichever way you go, I am pretty sure you will be happy. I have never heard anyone say "I just installed my blower, and I hate it". Bottom line is that safety, durability, and longevity are all in the tune.

Remember - Superchargers don't blow engines, drivers blow engines.

Thx that sounds pretty good im torn between the non intercooled small whipple or the edelbrock
