rgp6373 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 i am thinking about upgrading (again) to the new 2300 tvs from magna . they claim it put 15.5 lbs of boost into a 428 lsx , so i would think it would have no problem puting 10-12 lbs into my 408 ls1 . plus it has the dual heat exchanger instead of single . what do you guys think ? no priceing yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgp6373 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 nevermind i found it . i think the low end from the magna is better for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 nevermind i found it . i think the low end from the magna is better for me dont be fooled by the centrifugal blower. .. . they too will build boost fairly quickly. . . . as chase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usabodyguard Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 your info is off... the LSX was a 434 CID and the TVS ran 935hp at the crank... i believe it was at 15psi... but at 2k rpm it made 710 tq... I was going to go with an F1r... but the SUPPORT from procharger for a truck application was weak... i was told i would have to create or build my own drive mount system.... if you are looking for this type of power you'd better know what you are getting yourself into first.... $$$$$$ and headache.... and youd better have everything else done right before the engine... transmission, gears, driveline, and most of all a great tuner...

rgp6373 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 i have blown up pretty much everything lol it should take the power . i will only be running around 10-12lbs on my 408 so i wont be makin 900hp around 700-750 seems doable and my driveline will take that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usabodyguard Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 then dont waste your money on the 2300... the 1900 will do just fine and be just as efficient... and the 1900 is available now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 if you want a tvs expect to pay for it . im not 100% sure but the existing procharger truck kit mount should work with the f1, piping will need to be made however. which isnt the end of the world. a vortech could also make some decent power with a setup like mine with the upgraded t trim which would run you slightyly less than a 1900 tvs. and last a trubo would make just as much power and if sized right would make boost quickly and be very driveable. and although i know you like the off idle power, take a ride in a centrifigal setup and see the launch , i guarantee your surprised. you just have to run a bit higher of a stall with a truck like mine.

rgp6373 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 i know it wont be cheap . i have a friend with a procharger setup thats why i don't want to go that route , can't do the same thing hahaha and when i talked to magna they said the 1900 would be at its limit to feed my engine . turbo is an idea but all the kits i have seen are big bucks since i am already set up to run the maggie .

04CHASE Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 what do you consider big bucks ? 6800 for the 1900 tvs isnt exactly cheap . i dont know of any turbo kits that cost that much . i even know someone who can build me a custom twin setup for that price.

rgp6373 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 when i talked to a shop about a twin turbo setup from aps they were around $18 000 and i don't want sts because of where i live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 when i talked to a shop about a twin turbo setup from aps they were around $18 000 and i don't want sts because of where i live lol 18k thats downrigh ridiculous , i dont care what kind of quality of kit they have. just depends on what your goals are then man , and how much money you want to spend. im playing with the idea of selling my blower setup for a down on a house and eventually going with something different after i get settled.

rgp6373 Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 fortunatly i already have a house lol . and my 2009 cts-v will be here in late october but i want my truck to be faster lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 i was hinting at possibly selling my blower , its a vortech t trim ( upgraded from regular vortech kit ) and would make 10-12 psi on your 408 with a 2.7 pulley i would be looking to sell it around december if youd be interested. i could include alot of other upgrades if you want, including 8 rib and s trim headunit, ice box bigger heat exchanger( fluidyne) this blower can make 850 hp before its maxed out . im trying to set the record with it first though. so it will be a proven winner , which imo it already has. and for off idle power it can make boost with a stall launch , and pull 1.60 60 ft's with the correct converter.
