TVS2300 build on an 01 Z06 by petdsim
Hey everyone. I recently purchased a virtually stock torch red 2001 Z06 from a forum member here. I decided to do a lot to the car this winter so that it will be ready for the nice weather next season (I live in the Chicagoland area so winter is quite brutal) and wanted to make a thread for the progression of the build.
Also, I know how much of a bad reputation the positive displacement blowers get on here... but, in my mind, as long as you do the proper suspension modifications and have sticky tires, the car will be able to utilize all that low end torque and have serious potential. I have had great experiences with positive displacement blowers in the past... and I love the feeling of getting sucked into my seat from the instant torque at such a wide RPM range, which is exactly why I decided to go with the TVS2300 kit. That being said, I wanted to make sure the car would be able to put the power down... so, I did what I thought would be the necessary suspension modifications required to do so. Here is a list of all the performance parts I have purchased for the build that will be starting this week: Forged LS6 Magnuson TVS2300 (12 lbs boost) Magnuson TVS2300 rear cog drive upgrade Flex fuel system ID1300x injectors A&A twin pump fuel system Texas Speed Magic Stick 3 camshaft (237/242 .600”/.600” 111LSA) Borla Atak mufflers Kooks 1 7/8” long tube headers Kooks off road x-pipe McLoud RXT twin disc clutch MGW short throw shifter with lower box Under-drive pulley BBK cold air intake Magnuson TVS kit (intake manifold, intercooler, heat exchanger, and fuel rails) Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S 345/35R18 Lingenfelter 2-step LG G2 drag coil overs aFe control PFADT series drag race rear sway bar aFe control PFADT series drag race solid motor mounts ECS differential brace Hinson solid differential mount This will predominantly be a street car with occasional track visits. Accordingly, I have also done a lot of aesthetic and comfort modifications: Two-pod A pillar with GlowShift boost gauge and wide band air-to-fuel ratio gauge Raptor Performance red LED shift light Corbeau Forza Sport seats Apsis D5 carbon fiber steering wheel Black cross flags domed steering wheel emblem Black cross flags domed door sill emblems Black Alcantara wrapped dashboard, doors, headliner, A pillars, and center column with red stitching Carbon fiber shift knob Carbon fiber center console Black leather shift and brake boot with red stitching Brey-Krause gloss red harness bar Corbeau 3” 5 point racing harnesses Valentine V1 radar detector monitor custom fabricated into dashboard Duraflex fiberglass 2” rear fender flares Corvette Creationz stealth carbon fiber rear diffuser Carbon Creations carbon fiber DriTech cowl hood Carbon Creations carbon fiber ZR rear lip spoiler Carbon Creations carbon fiber side skirts Carbon Creations Vortex front splitter RK Sport carbon fiber brake ducts RK Sport carbon fiber door sills Antenna delete Side marker delete Pioneer head unit 2 10” Rockford fosgate subwoofers Cabin-facing subwoofer enclosure partition 5% tinted side and rear windows 50% tinted windshield Gloss black vinyl wrapped roof and mirrors Radioflyer Stealth Cannon V3 headlights Tinted clear corner light housing LED corner lights LED switchback turn signals LED halo mod tail lights LED license plate lights LED reverse lights LED interior kit Tinted reverse light lenses Tinted brake lights Tinted third brake light Mesh front grilles painted black Mesh side grilles Black C6 Z06 front fender side emblems 18x9.5 & 18x12 C7 Z06 gloss black wheels Black GM cross flags center caps Corvette lettering in front and rear outlined in black Ceramic coated exterior and undercarriage Xpel clear bra wrap Red LED interior kit Trunk lid emblem delete Front emblem blacked out Black exhaust plate WeatherTech floor mats Keyhole cover Most of the miscellaneous and aesthetic modifications have been installed. The car will be heading to the shop this week for installation of ALL the above performance modifications. Also, I receive a lot of questions regarding the flex fuel conversion... there are no stand-alone flex fuel c5 kits available, so my shop custom made one for me by using a new ECM that is compatible with flex fuel systems. I can't wait to experience the difference in power and drivability with going from a virtually stock vehicle baseline to a quite heavily modified version of the same car that will be making over two times the horsepower and torque very soon. I will update periodically whenever I get a chance. Stay tuned! |

The cam seems very anti-blower but it’ll sound wicked. :reddevil
Make sure you love that car and plan to keep it, because all that money will be down the drain so far as resale value. |

I will never be able to get anything close to how much I dumped into it back if I decided to sell it lol. But, I knew that going in and decided to go forward and build what I have always wanted. In my opinion, it’s worth the money for the joy it’ll bring me alone... well, at least that’s what I keep telling myself anyways... ha! |
Nice list of mods already done and planned. Good luck with the build and looking forward to progress reports.

Hope the weather cooperates so you can get it to the shop for the new engine and blower install. My cam isn't what's considered a "blower cam" either, 234 242 .598 .610 112LSA, but i get compliments on the sound, like Josh said, everywhere I go, and it runs and drives great. Looking forward to seeing you and the car next year in Effingham. I started to say the car finished, but like Billy Gibbons said, "A hot rod is never finished" I'll be following your thread. The body mods came out great! You need to post up more of those pics. |
Wow, most impressive list of goodies! Looks good! |
Wow, things definitely escalated quickly there. Good luck with the build!

12 Psi? That will be some serious HP! :thumbs:

This is going to be great! Be sure to post up videos also! |
Incredible looking build. Maggies are under-appreciated IMO. There's nothing like the instant massive torque from a PD blower for a street toy. It's gonna sound mean with the rear cog upgrade. Can't wait to see the results. Good luck!
