Good question 
The last post I saw about it was by Mike Vendetto from Callaway (mcv) back in March

(we offer an MP122 system for 400+ inch engines and we're working on a "TVS" system to theoretically support just over 1000 bhp)
The "next generation" Callaway Magna Charger is referred to as the TVS, a new supercharger design from Eaton. It uses a 4-vane, very-high helix angle rotor configuration. Efficiency is significantly greater than any of the MP-series; the Corvette TVS is capable of supporting up to 1000 bhp. The supercharger case is also somewhat larger than the MP112 and MP122's. Supercharger whine is reduced as well, for those who care.

Since October 2006, Callaway has been performing all new product development for Magnachargers for C5 and C6 Corvette applications. All C5 and C6 Magnachargers are now shipped to dealers, installers and do-it-yourselfers from Callaway's Connecticut and California facilities. These supercharger kits are still available from all the dealers and installers that have previously sold them for Magnuson Products. The list of Authorized Dealers and Installers is on Callaway's web site.
Development hasn't stopped on the TVS design, but the priority is now: MP112 for 2008 Corvette LS3, then MP122 for LS7/Z06, then the TVS design. Most likely, it will be well into 2008 before Callaway will have TVS developed, tested and validated, and available for sale.
The MP122 systems that we currently offer perform very well on large displacement, higher horsepower engines.
