Thank you guys for the inputs.
I'll keep the 1500 and rise the boost to 10 PSI.
I'll try to keep it under 600hp range for many reasons and the most important is the tranny i don't know how much it will hold.

 

I'm using ECS kit

 

The TVS Still sees no more than 30* over ambient. Dont listen to the bull$**** about "heat" this and "heat" that. Read what 99% of the people are using and getting stellar results from.

The people that do not get good results do not have a compatible package. The people that do, did their research. I think Nelson's results of 650+ HP on a cam/blower LS3 speak for themselves.

Boost for Boost the average HP will be higher with a Magna Charger TVS, PERIOD.

 

Brian, I've read your post several times and I'm not exactly sure where you stand on the issue. You need to be a little less wishy washy and state what your really think.

 

LOL, yeah maybe I should be more direct.

 

You never stated you already own 1 of the 2 s/c in question.

99%, huh? Were those results taken by an unbiased 3rd party?

So Brian, you're sayin a turbo would be the way to go?!?

 

I don't agree, a properly setup Centrifugal will make solid power and can be as fast or faster than a roots or twin screw with a mild stall. On a truck I'd opt for the roots but on car that isn't a daily driver the Centrifugal has proven to be a faster package so far anyway.

But you don't get factory support with a Centrifugal like you do with a Magna Charger.

 

read what I said faulkface....99% of the people USING them......That means CUSTOMERS....

 

A piece of TVS2300 info. We just finished a 2008 G8 GT at work and made 552RWHP with it. That was on 8psi with 91 octane and the DA was 6900 when we were on the dyno with it. Some interesting info though was the way it picked up power. When we first ran the car it made 5psi and when from 400RWHP to just over 450RWHP tuned in fairly well. Moving the boost up to a point where the blower was more efficient is where we picked up right about 100RWHP. That's right, going from 5psi to 8psi gained us right about 100RWHP and there may have been a bit more left on the table, but the timing was at a respectable point for the compression/boost/octane level we were working with. The TVS doesn't have the heat issue's of the past Magnacharger's. Driving around the G8 today I seen IAT's in the 140's in traffic with outside temps somewhere at about 100. As soon as you would get outside of traffic it would drop temps enough to bring a smile to your face (about 10-15 over ambient). Other than being a huge piece of aluminum that is bolted right to the top of the motor where heat rises (there is no getting around that fact) nobody should be seeing high IAT's with a TVS2300 unless they really are over working it. After all blowers just like turbo's aren't a one size fit's all. Although the TVS2300 is being advertised as the answer for big inch motors I feel that the 6.0L and 6.2L's that get them will really be using that blower at it's best. Keep an eye out there for more big number TVS2300's from the L76's and LS3's.

I saw that vid of the G8 zippy, good work!
