Anyone have the Kong 2650 for LT4?

Hey all, new member here. I have a freshly built ZLE. I went with an x ported factory blower but set up my fuel system to run a 2650 if I ever want to make the change.

I just saw that Kong recently dropped a 2650 for the LT4. I would be interested how this comps to the Maggie. Anyone have experience?

I'm confused, after looking at their website, is this just a ported stock LT4 supercharger that they spec'd out to be equivalent to the 2650?

If you're asking about comparisons between Maggie and Eddie 2650 power, Greg at Kong told me they are "very close." I'm very pleased with the power my EForce 2650 makes.

To answer the question above, Kong can port your OEM 1.7L blower or he will sell you a ported 2.65L Eddie.

I have a kong ported 1.7 as mentioned in my post.

It sounds like you are out of the loop

it does not appear to have anything in common with a stock lt4 blower

You do realize that’s the Eddie blower that’s been out for years, right…?

You asked about a 2650 and I answered all your questions. The link you provided shows an Edelbrock 2650 which is what I have and which is what Kong will sell you. You're not making much sense right now

I didn't, which is why I asked. Since there is no mention of edelbrock this would not seem obvious to someone who is unfamiliar, would it?

You called out JSH and said “he was out of the loop’…despite the fact that he owns the Kong Eddie 2650..!?! Also you said “Kong recently dropped a 2650 for the LT4”… despite the fact that product has been out for years….? There has been a ton of Eddie vs Maggie discussion on this board and definitely not worth rehashing. Search bar is your friend.

I suppose if he phrased it as the "Kong branded Edelbroock" it might have been clear that he was not referring to "an Edelbrock that was ported by Kong."

Since Kongs primary business is porting not selling white labeled blowers the confusion is not unreasonable.

This won’t be nearly as fun now that EDFHOBBIES has bailed on his ZL1. Although it might be better for our sanity…haha
