Coulda, woulda, shoulda without an ounce of meaningful proof of anything you say. Has been this way for over 4 years. You missed the point. Your dyno means nothing. You quoted someone’s dyno number that the performance doesn’t line up with. Yes, smaller upper or larger lower makes more power. Again, just noise unless the power is proven. People can make dyno’s say all kinds of things.

Great, you don’t want to race like that - Find someone else to be an Edelbrock spokesperson then.

I actually have stock mag ride and springs that came from GM. Yes it has drag radials. Cars that actually make power need those.

What are you shifting at? That's a blower speed of only 24,000 at 7000

It was between 6900 and 7300 depending on gear and what the trans wanted to do. That was back when we struggled with consistency on the 10L90. Command one thing and get something else. Or try raising RPM and it doesn’t shift at all.

Mine shifts at 6950. Are you launching in first or second gear?

Super curious on current thoughts on this, The Eddie 2650 is almost 2 grand cheaper right now and comes with new valve covers, If im only planning to stay at 8psi is the eddie the better choice here?

I'd vote for the Eddie for what you're saying.

I don't think you have to cut the hood for an SS. Having a smaller snout isn't going to hurt you in this application (nor would it until you need a good bit more power). The cooling is good.

I'd make sure if you have emissions stuff you need to adhere to that you make sure you get the kit you need. No one's as bad as it is here, but I'm just saying, just in case.

Agreed. Only problem is everyone goes down this road with the best of intentions…. A few years later they end up buying parts to replace the last parts they bought… or maybe that’s just me..

Was just going to say this.....you only want 8lbs of boost right nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww..........until you don't

......as they say buy once cry once.

*radz28* · 07-17-2025, 01:59 PM

Agreed. That's why I had to, kinda', qualify that, lol. I thought I only wanted a ZL1, and look where that got me, LOL. I have been saying I needed about 650 since the 5th Gen came out, and look what happened...

I don't even like the Eddie, lol.

Does the Billet lid make a huge difference in sound? I was pondering getting one if i went the Mag2650 route but i didnt know if itd whine ,even with the lid, if im only pushing ~8psi.

I have no idea at that small of a boost level about the whine sound....I know with the DSX lid and my car, it's loud as hell lol...so just go 2650 and you'll have plenty of room to build from there.
