TVS 1900 Blower
Not my car: Didn't see it in this section, but maybe didn't look hard enough.....
Posted on Performance Truck.
MTI did this installation:
Started with a Z06
6 psi 779 hp, tq seems to peak @ around 690 (engine dyno)
(as noted on PT.net, too bad about the coils)

Nice . . . . .
That's what I'm waiting for.
TVS on my 427.
Power everywhere, not just in the top half of your graph!
Anyone have any more info?

Is there some sort of functional reason for the hideous casing?
The looks are a big part of the maggies.
I know it's trivial, but that egg crate case design looks like crap.

Those are there for cooling. That blower gets EXTREMELY hot. The fins help disapate the heat.

Saw this car in person today. And all I can say is damn
I have another thread with MTI Racings Dyno Day pics with some of this car at the bottom of the pics
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=2107798 . They put it on the dyno and man it sounds good. The TVS Supercharger isn't very loud at all. It sure was nice.

At least now you have a way to tote your eggs home from the store.

I don't think the supercharger looks that bad, however I'm not too sure about the hood.

I think it looks WAY better than the Maggie. And better than the KB, for that matter. Keep at it MTI, I might need one of these!

Maybe it's so fast that dirt can't keep up with it. I've been looking for a PD blower for my vette. I have the MP122 radix on a 6.0L in a reg cab stepside half ton truck. Runs great and lots of fun, but I think that blower will run out of air on a built 6.2L. Maybe the TVS will fit the bill.
