I been kicking around the idea of getting into FI. I have a cammed and full bolt on 5.3 with 3000 stall in a CC 2008 5.3L. Is the 2300 too much overkill for the 5.3 or should I stick to a 1900?

 

Start off at a lower psi 6-8 and see what you think

 

Kind of a waste if you dont want to run 15+psi

 

it would leave room to grow in the future wouldn't you think?

 

Yea....but if you want more than a 1900 will give you will probably go turbo anyway

 

im not looking at going more than 8lbs. website shows the tvs 1900 is only 6lbs. The whipple was showing 8.5lbs with the 2300. Thats why I was leaning that way. I thought the TVS 1900 pullies were machined on and a pain to change.

 

TVS pullies are very easy to change, 1900/2300 have the same pullies.

 

Good god, now you sound like Dusty.

 

Yep...I maxed out my 1900 at 8lbs....on a 408

Same pulley on a 5.3 wouldve been around 15lbs

Im not saying blowers dont have their place, but have you ever riden in a high powered turbo setup? No comparison at higher engine speed.

 

Not bad... one hour before this turned in to a turbo vs blower thread...
