I like the compact and simple packaging of the s/c more than the multiple-independent-system style of the turbo. Simpler = less stuff to fail, lol. I want to see some real-world results before I make a decision.

next time I visit family out in AZ you owe me a ride in your truck brother

I don't see a TVS in my immediate future due to my deployment next year. Maybe 09-ish, but by then there may be newer technology, who knows.

I tell you what though, based on the few things stated in that video, looks like PD blower guys have alot to look forward too

Sounds good, definitely hit me up next time you come to AZ

I'm definitely excited to see what the TVS is all about. Sounds like a pretty revolutionary (no pun intended) design.

These magnuson blowers are looking better and better all the time. Maybe one of these days Ill be convinced a blower is a real viable option for big power. The reliability and and simplicity of a blower cant be denied. A 2300 from what I have read would be a damn nice setup in a 4wd truck with a stroker

WOOHOOO! I need to put some more money in my TVS fund. I'm sure no matter how much I put aside I'll still need more.

I wonder when they will actually be available... I'd go for either the TVS or 122 for my L76.. Is Blown Chevy working for Magnason again? Maybe he knows
