I won't go to far into it but There are a few things I personally prefer about the TVS and a few things I prefer on the Whipple 140AX
The Whipple does have a bigger intercooler which really keeps the IAT temps down when in boost. That is really nice!!
I do like the fact the Magnacharger is front fed personally
Whichever choice you make between the 2,you will love it!!
I like them both personally
Good Luck

One could have the best of both worlds with the W175ax
Although I have some concern about the Customer Service, I think the design and engineering may be better than the 2300 - leaning toward the Whipple!

I am about half way through with my Whipple 2.9. The main changes were the ls3 water pump, alternator bracket relocation, and fuel system.

Do you have a build thread anywhere?

Interested in the results!

What would be involved with mounting an 03+ top mounted whipple to a 99-02 silverado? Would all I need be a vette regulator or is there more to it then that? I wouldn't want one of those old pos side mounts

I wonder why more Whipple guys are weighing in and not as many Maggie guys?! Kinda makes me think Whipple is the NEW way to go blower wise.

I could possibly leave it up to a vote, but I would need more opinions!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but here's how I see things stacking up so far...

Whipple: 4 (supermaro, last call, razor, 06gt4.8)

Maggie: 3 (timz, blackpanther99, 03sierraslt)

If anyone else would like to vote, please chose Whipple 2.9 or Maggie 2.3 and a short explanation why, Thanks!

My reason is pretty simple. Few Maggie 5th gens, trucks, and SUVs have been on same dyno as mine was, Same tuner. Results weren't impressive for the Maggie's 2300s. Not knocking the Maggie at all, just not for me. I did have two at one point and got rid of them for that reason.

There was a 2300 Maggie cstv that did put down more power than mine. But they were spinning the hell out of it, meth and had a TR6060.
