Looks like the edelbrock 2650 for the c7 z06 will be available in about 2-3 months. Minor cowl modding will be needed which looks less than the 2.9 whipple.
Testing is going on currently.
Also a like for like dyno will be coming.
Stock blower at 13lbs vs this 2650 at 13lbs and then will be turned up more.
I cant wait
I sure wish that Vic was still alive. I would love to talk to him about this.
He was a big Corvette fan. RIP Vic

And a genuinely nice human. I chatted with him for about 30 minutes years ago at a Sema show. I was just a no body kid, but he didnt treat me as such.
Ive read a few things that said that Edelbrock designed their 2300 housings with some extra beef in anticipation of the 2650, so they could machine the existing housings to fit the 2650 rotors. Can anyone confirm this, and if so, that should answer the "does it fit" under the hood question.

"Stock blower at 13lbs vs this 2650 at 13lbs and then will be turned up more"
Typo ...Stock at 13lbs? Stock more like 9.5? vs 13lbs.
Anxious to see how much increase in low end torque.
Great work!

Because despite its smaller displacement, the 2650 is going to move more air, and produce less heat doing it. Worth waiting for, and worth cutting the hood. But then again, I’ve had some time to get used to a hole in the hood
i respect your opinion a lot John, so you've got me confused/spooked now... have you seen apples to apples tests between this blower and the whipple?
Im not in a hurry, so by the time i get my next car which will be the one i upgrade, im sure there will be apples to apples tests on these 2 blowers, but still curious about your thought in the meantime.

Compressor maps and graphs from both are on the MAGGY's website the regular 2.65 beats the Whipple 2.9 hands down in several ways then they offer a 2650 stage 2 that has 2400 cfm a real brute. Neither 2650 fits on the Corvette.
Fits but no hood? Sorta need the hood You can see where the hood goes not fitting!
Same as other photo the thing is as high as the wipers.
I can't say for sure as I have not yet seen it in person. But the user states in their post it fits under the stock hood. Don't know if that means with modifications to the the hood or not.
It fits. They sent a plastic piece to mock up the back part of the Edelbrock so you can trim the hood and rear very slightly, not anywhere near as big as the Whipple.

That would be good news for those willing to cut. Do you have a photo as how much cutting is needed. I don't think the Whipple cuts the hood?
The photo looks like it is sticking up a lot up a lot be interesting to see more.
