TVS is a Bad ***** Blower...

the new TVS blower is what sits atop the Corvette ZR1...

Twin vertices design means more air flow as lower RPMS... and smaller gulps of air... for less Blower whine.. "cry"

The new Mustang kit is seeing 500 RWHP on a stock block... cant wait to see one on a MCS.

Once the whine is gone and you can hear the exhaust only you forget all ab out it. In fact I kinda think it sounds goofy now. Sorry guys .

I could run a blow off valve on the Rotrex if I wanted to. It wouldn't do a thing for performance but you would have that cool sound.

I just modified my exhaust so the sound of the car now if awesome. I had the Magnaflow resonator replaced with a Sweet-Thunder chambered muffler. The combination of the race header, Sweet-Thunder and the Magnaflow cans makes for a addicting sound.

This is interesting! I am doing my battery box delete and looking for a nice muffler/tips combo. Perhaps I can use the C-5 split oval tips on a 2.5" in 2x2.5" out. Any suggestions for such a muffler?

here is the custom CAI that was needed to feed the 1320 TVS
Dale from Voltage Products surprised me with a fantastic 3" custom outlet to fit the piping. This is a great addition for GP owners to customize their cars.

Did I mention it was done in Thunder Blue?

Very cool

Dale strikes again. That opening is huge . One thing is for sure, you won't be lacking for air.

I'm not much for bling but this CAI looks even better in person. Dale really pulled a masterpiece off. Even Mike liked it and he is as old school as they come

I fired up the car yesterday and all is well. The car has my 3" custom exhaust on it and it sounds great. I will be taking it to the dyno on Tuesday for some preliminary runs. I have a special cam ground for this application to test also.

WOO HOO great news Jan Now you can get working on the 900 As the masses are more than likely going insane right now waiting to see what kind of numbers these things are going to make for us!!!!

BTW YouTube video's and plenty of eye candy of the blower are a requirement for future postings....just so you know

Had some long talks with the Eaton guys at SEMA. Looks like Sept of 09 for the TVS 900. I shot a small amount of video yesterday but it needs editing

Oh that's cool at least you've confirmed that they'll be casting a mold to fit our cars?? is that correct how I said it? That was the issue right? trying to get them to make a mold to fit our cars? Can't wait to see the results and oh yeah that's exactly when my car goes out of warranty...
