If you are looking for a flatter torque curve, TT's are the way to go, but most will concur that you can't put that kind of power to the ground down low on the street and go with boost by gear, which defeats the purpose of having monster low end torque to begin with.

I still think people are best served with a high boost centri on stock cubes unless they are making gobbs of power like RC or AtomicFusion, but to each their own.
Great points and it makes sense as well.

I just love the instant power\tq, I really love my buds Maro. pulls like a freight train off the line, which is what I like.

As much as I love my Maggies (have two TVS2300's now), they're really out of place on a big inch LS motor. You may not need two to feed a big inch LSX like aTX427 mentioned, but they're more at home if you're good with mid 600's to low 700 rwhp. Yes, you can push them farther, but you get into a pretty serious hp/$ squeeze when trying to push past those levels. They are a whole lot of fun on the street, and if that's what blows your dress up, I don't think there's a better system at those power levels. I wouldn't chose a Maggie for a power adder if serious competition was my thing. The Maggie won't have a problem with IAT heat at moderate power levels as long as air is moving over the heat exchanger.
