Too bad you're not a little closer. I've had more than one holler "whoa...whoa...dammit whoa!!" 650+rwhp in a 3200 vette with 4.10 gears makes for a pretty spirited ride. It will break the tires loose in third gear before 3000 rpm by just easing into the throttle. I won't change the blower on my truck, but, knowing what I know now, the TVS2300 would be an easy choice.

 

Now how does the MP122 High Helix fall into this between the original MP series and the TVS when it comes to the maggies? Is it a little of both, or still short lived to the 4,000 RPM mark like the older MP series? I just picked up a used one of these (moregrip's old setup) used with almost no miles since he pulled it. However I am intalling this into a heavy 1/2 ton OBS Z71.

 

Beg to differ with you there friend

If you would like a test drive take a trip up to Magnuson, I have a fleet of cars you can go for a ride in

 

I would definitely recommend going with a TVS magnacharger. My TVS1900makes power all the way up to redline.

 

Okie dokie! Will definitely be taking you up on that. I hear that the new TVS is head and shoulders above and beyond what the MP-series blowers were, just haven't had a chance to experience one myself....yet.

 

I think the MP Maggies get a bit of a bad rap. They don't quit pulling at 3, 4, or even 5000 rpm. They get compared to the centri's and come up short on the top end in the eyes of some. My truck is over 500 hp at 5500 rpm. It's still pulling and pulling hard at high rpm. It makes the power sooner and maintains it. It doesn't quit. It just doesn't make power at an increasing rate. Would you rather have the power now or have to wait for it? My truck will hit almost full boost at 2000 rpm with way less than half throttle. It's nuts to think that a little more boost later is somehow a better way to move a heavy assed truck around.

The MP122 is a definite upgrade over the 112, but not a huge one. If your hp goals are less than 500rwhp, the 122 will do just about as good as a TVS. At hp levels over 500 and motors over 5.7L's, I think the TVS2300 is the choice.

 

I agree. With a stock cam, my truck seemed to stop pulling around 5500 rpm. After replacing my cam, it pulls hard all the way to 6500 rpm. It may go higher than that, but I've never tried it.

 

I'm a turbo nut through and through but I will admit the 3-4 TVS vehicles I've been in they surprised the crap out of me on the top end. Not what I was used to when being driven or driving a 112/122 set-up.

 

Not saying that mine would crap out on me at the 4,000 mark, just saying that compared to what the standard MP122 is, how does the high helix version compare? Is it any closer to the TVS series than the standard 112 or 122?

 

root style blowers are good but i would take a procharger over one any day because i can cruise around town and not even notice it there if im not into the throttle,it doesn't affect my gas mileage either. as for low end torque the root style will beat a procharger if its the base model p1 but as soon as you step up to a d1 "just one step up on the procharger scale" you will get stomped out threw the whole rpm range and if you want to do it right go with a f-series set up and you will be scared to even touch the throttle ... besides i like the under hood appearance looks on centrifugal better than a roots , centrifugal looks more custom ....
