Yes, it is serious business.
We'll have to be selective in who receives this package.
Candidate skills needed:
-Tough-man experience in large-caliber weaponry
-Chews roofing nails for breakfast
-Drinks boiling hot coffee straight from the campfire pot
-Can tear a phone book longways with his bare hands
*Yesterday, the TVS 2300 ran on the dyno. Although the injectors were undersized, no tuning, and no overdriven crank, it produced about 100 more torque than the TVS 1900. The run was shut down early due to undersized injectors, so no horsepower #'s yet.
We'll keep you posted.

Research, development and testing is still in progress. As everyone is well aware by now, we don't release any of our products to the public until we have done numerous hours of extensive testing and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the complete package is well designed and is one that we are proud to put our name behind. We tested and developed our TVS 1900 system for months before releasing it for sale and the 2300 system will be no different. Some of our "competitors" who are working on other positive displacement superchargers for the corvette have chosen to simply try to find a way to bolt the supercharger on and are attempting to install them on customers cars immediately. We choose to refine our products beforehand with testing done in-house, rather than using our customers as guinea pigs on our new projects. Through the extensive amount of r&d that we performed on the 1900 we designed and developed a complete vehicle conversion and our customers can feel confident that when they purchase our system that they are receiving a tested and proven system that is powerful and reliable with excellent street manners and safe for any situation you decide to put your car in whether it be street, track, or strip. As our motto states, our products are "engineered for total performance"
Our initial testing of the 2300 has shown that it does have amazing potential. Even with some belt slippage and the need for more fuel the 2300 has produced 100hp more than the 1900 at similar rpm levels. With the 1900 producing 850hp, the 2300 will have no problem producing 1000hp + in it's finallized form. Our testing has shown that the larger size of the 2300 will require an 11-rib belt to drive to insure against belt slippage and 11-rib drives aren't currently available. We have also found that the factory fuel sytem will have to be completely removed and upgraded due to the fact that larger injectors and a boost-a-pump don't provide nearly enough fuel to feed the engine with the larger supercharger. Forging of the bottom end will also be a requirement prior to installation of a 2300. The question has now become is the additional power worth the added cost for the customer. The amount of power provided by the 1900 is amazing even at only 7.5lbs of boost and with the option available to run an overdrive damper which raises boost to 10.5 lbs, the 1900 already produces a tire shredding monster. The 1900 system has set the bar so high that improving upon the output has become a lofty endeavor. Our "competitors" and some naysayers are making the assumption that bigger=better in regards to supercharger size and the more we test the more we are finding that is not the case. As Jerry Magnuson, who has been building and testing superchargers for 40 years, states “Run the smallest supercharger that will provide your target boost level. It will be more responsive (make boost sooner) and will require less horsepower to drive.” Our testing is definitely backing this statement up.
We just completed another TVS system on a Z06 and dyno tested it on Saturday. It made 856hp (727rwhp) and 765ft/lbs of torque (650rwtq). Alot of people will see these numbers and think they are no big deal because other superchargers can produce similar peak numbers. What sets the TVS apart is that at only 3000 rpm's this Z06 is already producing 716ft/lbs of torque (608rwtq). How much time do you actually spend at 6000 rpm's anyway? Not nearly as much as you spend between 3000 and 5000. I am going to be making a new thread on Monday with more pictures of this Z06 that I am refering to including pics of it on the dyno and pics of the dynograph. This Z06 has the Limited edition package with the 427 badging and is beautiful.
We have been extremely busy with TVS installs as well as others upgrades but we have been making sure to set aside time to continue r&d of this sytem. We are anxious to see what the 2300 has to offer and put togethor a 2300 package similar to our TVS 1900 system.
Consider your source reliable. At this time we have three Z06's at various stages of TVS installation as well as a 2006 LS2 C6 coupe and a 2008 LS3 C6 coupe both receiving TVS superchargers. As each vehicle is completed I will post updates with pictures and dyno numbers.
