BC, I think Zippy was really making the same point you have been making for some time. That the 1900 is one hell of a supercharger and for a large majority of applications the 2300 isn't necessarily the better choice.

I had second thoughts about pulling the 1900 off. 12lbs of boost and a 75 shot would have been a hell of a lot cheaper than what BC is charging me for the 2300. And close to being as fast too...:nunchuk1:

That is sorta my point. I like the idea of the TVS2300 on anything that is 6.0L and bigger. The TVS2300 should make more power at 12.5psi than your TVS1900 made at 12.5psi. I would say just take the huge efficiency difference in the two at that airflow level. I wouldn't buy the TVS2300 for more boost, but for it's gain in efficiency. I just did my second TVS1900 install today and will be doing two TVS2300's very soon on different projects. Each unit has it's place. I've been recomending the hell out of the new TVS line and even more so the TVS2300. I just recomend using them in a range where you are shooting for the biggest gain in power, not boost. For example if you gain 100hp going from 5psi to 10psi, but only 50hp going from 10psi to 15psi you have to decide if it's worth the extra load and early boost/power enrichment it gets you. That is just a simple example, but dances around the point.

Have you thought about going with the 1 7/8" headers down the road with it? I don't think it would be a big gain, but at your airflow level I'd guess a 20RWHP gain over the 1 3/4" headers. What converter are you running in that?

Brian, I was just replying to your post as you put it. Yes it was a little friendly ball busting also. I'm impressed though with the 980hp 6.0L. If I recall it Kenny Duttweiler's 430 cubic inch LSX blocked setup only made 950 with the TVS2300. Making 980hp from a 6.0L at 15psi with a TVS2300 is damn impressive... I'm still waiting for all of the 700+RWHP cars and trucks with the 2300's, but either way I'm still recomending the 2300 on a regular basis as you are. We ride the same train tracks, just different on a different train.

Some folks think they know more than they really do, there are a few people on here that are going to prove them wrong soon enough.
UUUU, can we get a bit more info about this 6.0L engine????
