TVS 2300 + other Goodies in an '04 SSS
 

The time has finally come after completing a 4L80e swap a few months ago! These stages of my build will include...



STAGE 1:



1. Magnuson TVS 2300 - non-Jackshaft model This is the complete kit ordered directly from Magnuson - On Order



2. ARH 1-7/8" Primaries and connecting pipes w/no cats - On Order



3. TYC E-Fans and wiring harness - On order



4. Tru-cool max trans cooler with bypass valve - Have now but not installed



5. Upgraded Alternator - 145 amp. - On order



6. Aeroforce Interceptor Gauges and A-Pillar Pod

I'll have to wait and see exactly what the blower kit from Magnuson comes with, but the guy I ordered it from said it came with 42lb injectors and I think I may need a charge tube to connect to my Volant CAI box. I'm not sure if I would need anything else, but I really wanted to install the kit just as if comes from Magnuson to make sure there are no problems with the blower system before I start adding. Not sure if I need a TB or x-link for this part either.


STAGE 2:

1. Intro Twisted Vista II 22" x 10" - I'm told +30 offset and a good set of tires - I'm told 305/40/22's will work here



2. Speedsturr Tonneau cover



STAGE 3:



1. Trickflow 235 heads and springs



2. Chromoly Push Rods



3. Harland Sharp Rockers



4. Possibly Lifters - would like suggestions here please



5. 60lb Siemens Deka Injectors



6. Fuel Pump? - open to suggestions



7. 90 or 102mm TB and x-link? - open to suggestions



8. Custom grind Cam



9. ARP bolts



10. Valve covers - open to suggestions



11. 8 rib system



12. Trutrac rear and Trickflow cover



...and anything else I'm forgetting to make this setup work!

Go ahead and skip right up to the 145amp alternator, trust me!

As far as the aeroforce gauges go, SoCal Diesel makes an awesome dual overhead gauge pod that works perfectly.

i cant find the picture I took, but this is the exact setup I have.

Attachment 102473

Yeah, I found a descent deal on Amazon for an AC Delco 145 amp. and got that and some TYC fans ordered yesterday. That gauge setup looks good there btw.

Brian Tooley Racing lifters

Do you have a link where I can find them?...looked on his website and didn't see any BTR lifters for Chevy

I would just give him a call.

You're gonna want to add more gauges than just the aeroforce... those wont tell you what you really need to know. Wideband, fuel pressure, and boost gauges are most important.

I thought you already had the headers for some reason?

Good lookin list of mods though... its gonna move. When is the blower going on?

Thanks! Yeah, after researching the aeroforce and finding out you have to plug it into the obd2 port at all times, I'm not sure I even want to run that. I do like the 60', 0 - 60, 1/4 miles times, etc. though. I've been looking at the prosport premium gauges, boost and wideband...you think fuel too? any thoughts or knowledge of those? ...I'm looking at the digital ones here:
Prosport 238EVOBO-PK 60mm Premium Evo Electrical Boost Gauge

Yes, I do have headers now, but they're only 1-3/4"...upgrading to ARH 1-7/8"

I spoke to the dude from Magnuson last week and he told me it would ship out on or before this Friday the 30th. I'll probably do the install the following week - depending on exactly when I receive it. All the other parts are due in this week.

Go with the J/S that way everyone knows you have a maggie.
