Had a guy drop off his '07 vette the other day at the last minute.
We installed a 228 cam, doing a 3200 yank converter, and a ZEX 175shot.
Came back today and bought a TVS2300.
We're gonna keep the nitrous kit, since it's bought and paid for, but lower to a 75 shot on top of the 2300.
This car should be a blast to drive! I know it's not a truck, but I've been wanting to get one of these 2300's on a vette!
I'll post up numbers when we're done in a couple weeks (waiting on charger)
later,
allen
oh wow that is going to be sickkkkkkkk
^^^^x2
Attachment 1137Can't wait to see the outcome! He is planning on putting a new hood on also right...
I wanna throw in my two cents Allen... I've seen many stock LS2's pop with boost(Go check the TBSS board... over a dozen, no lie). See if the customer is interested in porting out the chambers to lower the CR or just slap some L92's on there and be at around 10 to 1 vs. 11 to 1. if he's got the coin for the 2300, $300 to $900 is a "safe" drop in the hate... It's what I would do. But, None of those maggied tbss ls2's were tuned by Nelson Performance either...
DAYUM! I am sure it will make atleast the same or more hp as the ZR1. The ZR1's LS9 is pretty much a factory forged LS3... So with the same unforged motor and S/C--with the cam and stall--it should be pretty wicked.
those engines havent been popping because of boost, they have been popping due to the tunes, high compression + boost calls for low timing, lots of GOOD fuel with any amount of boost.Quote:

**edit, well okay... even more sweet than it already is hahaha! got any pics Allen?
I agree 100% but most are not happy with the power of them at 6-8psi and they don't want to run race fuel, this was with the old hh112 and hh122.... and oh the heat soak:(. Me personally, With a maggie, I would rather have 12psi at 10 to 1, and more timing on 93 octane with a stock bottom end LS2. Keep the quench at or above 80... and no worries. This vette will need to worry about traction now!:lol:Quote:

We didn't go tvs route because mag didn't have it in time, so i went with a vortec v-2 kit.
cam, headers, 175shot made exactly 600hp to the wheels.
installed the charger and lowered the nitrous to a 75shot and it made 598hp.
btw, through a 3600converter and auto.
quick car,
Vids?
ls3 ftw :)Quote:

Nice! I think I need a 75 shot!
I just ordered a TVS2300 for a 08 vette today.
this vette has headers, pulley and our cam, put out like 478 if i'm not mistaken.
with a new custom cam and tvs w/ 8psi, i'm shooting for 600rwhp, we'll see.
Wow 600HP on 8PSI!

600 should be easy a friends ls3 with intake lts off road x and corsa cat back made right at 450 on the dyno (it was a manual though) plus cam and charger shouldn't be a problem :thumb:
