I changed from a V3si to a 1500sl which equals the V3 t trim.
I did because it is better fit from the ls-7. Just swapped out the blower head. The V-3si fit the ls-3 better. The 1500 definitely seems better in the upper end.

I'm talking about the Ti Trim which is between the Current T trim and a V7 YSi.

Received this from Andy recently:

Andy, are you allowed to give any info on the Ti trim?? Curious to know.
Sort of. I have one on my Trailblazer SS. The volute is machined out to a slightly larger ID and the impeller is larger. The T Trim already has a VERY efficient impeller design, so the improvement is not as noticeable as it was from S Trim to Si Trim a few years ago.

Yes. The V7 case will fit my bracket but will require some modification and likes to be spun harder then I would be spinning it. If I can do 850 at 15 psi I will be very happy with it and would prefer to stick with Vortech over Paxton for non-performance related reasons.

Yes YSI have 4” inlet while T is 3.75, S or Si is 3.5.

Sorry should have been clear. You can only open up T-trim volute/scroll so much before you need a new casting. The JT is in V-7 family with stronger gears and better bearings, things that are going to be needed if mass flow is increased too much over T-trim, that is why I said between the two.
