Default Davenport Motorsports has the new Magnuson Heart Beat superchargers in stock.

We're starting the install on a 6 spd manual GS early next week.

Follow along to see what the new Heartbeat will do.

That is a sexy piece of engineering. Not comfortable throwing a blower on a stock engine though.

When it was introduced at SEMA I was told it was LS3 first, LS7 second, LS2 third and then C5. Not sure if that is still the plan but they're working on LS7 now.

Reasonable boost and a good tune are the key. We've installed over 100 TVS2300's on the new Camaro's. Many over 600 RWHP, all are running just like stock.

We're in Canada, I would recommend contacting Magnuson for a dealer near you.

Fit's under the stock hood.

Thanks for looking guys!

I contacted Magnuson. Was told the LS7 version would be out later this year. Around 5 lbs of boost and would come with a tune for an other wise stock motor.

Sorry about not updating, we've been swamped and have had a couple of guys sick so the updates slipped my mind.

Install is done, just waiting to get it on the dyno. Dyno operator/tuner is one of the guys who's been away, so we're backed up. Hope to get it on the dyno next week.

A few more pics.













I'll do my best to get the dyno results up as soon as we're done.

Thanks!

First set of results are in.

This is with the Magnuson CARB legal tune, we're at 4000 ft above sea level, this is with 91 octane and 6 psi.



We'll be doing some custom tuning and then see what we can get out of it.

Wow, those are great numbers SAE corrected on a canned 91 octane tune at only 6 pounds. She is running pig rich from 3500 to 5500 RPM. Cannot wait to see results with a real tune. Is the car an auto or manual? Any other mods? Stock exhaust manifolds or long tube headers?

The car is a 6spd manual. This dyno was done with completely stock exhaust front to back. Absolutely no other mods to the car.

Amazing indeed. Job well done sir. I wonder how many pounds of boost they will run on an LS7 and at what power level? I imagine right around 600 RWHP SAE as well on 91 octane with 5 - 6 pounds of boost.

Glad to see some "stock hood" competition for the e-force.

Thank you! I would guess at 5-6 pounds as well. I can't wait to see how much power one will make on a LS7. Might have to "volunteer" mine as a test bed.
