Switch as in just swap the head unit and use the existing Radix hardware? Or switch as in take off all of the Radix stuff and switch it out for the TVS?

The TVS looks like its compact and may be somewhat similar in size to the Radix, but I doubt there will be a direct head unit swap. Even with the mp122, which is larger, they want to sell you more than just the head unit to make the swap.

I heard that Calloway was doing the development work for the Corvette application of the TVS,I would imagine that they would have an exclusive distribution arrangement at first.I doubt you'll any kind of kit for our trucks for a year or better.

What I'm curious about is if the TVS unit is actually a compressor, like the Whipple or KB.

The TVS is still a positive displacement ROOTS blower, two like rotors....More more of a Hybrid than ever. When available they should bolt up to the 122 manifold, and everything up to the 1900 will be EO compliant.

So just how much power is the TVS blower suppost to make.

what is the difference between this tvs blower and the 122? when will it come out and how much will it cost? can my questions even be answered yet or we talking months or years away yet? i might be able to swing a 122 swap from my 112 soon but want to know if i should hold out for this tvs thingy?

Holty,

I've been waiting months for these same answers. I don't think anybody knows. The TVS is to MP122 as Escalade is to Yukon.
Same same, different looks, higher cost. Somebody prove me wrong...
